In 1998[5,] the SEBT was first described.The SEBT may identify deficiencies in lower limb postural control. Moreover, comparing populations with injuries and healthy controls. The SEBT may be used to compare balance skills and performance across various sports. This test may be used as a sport participation screening tool as well as a post-rehabilitation test […]
Sciatica is often described as mild to intense low back pain that travels into the left or right leg. Radiculopathy can occur when a spinal nerve root is compressed (nerve compression) such as from a low back disc rupture (lumbar herniated disc) or bone spur (osteophyte) in the lumbar spine prior to it joining the […]
“Power is nothing without control” The basic goal in rehabilitation is to restore and enhance function within the environment and to perform specific activities of daily living (ADL). The entire rehabilitation process should be focused on improving the functional status of the patient. The concept of functional training is not new, nor is it limited […]
Many times you heared from your patient that I have very tight hip. What we would prefer to call it is anterior hip tightness/pain/dysfunction as we feel that hip needs to be address as an entire functional unit, not a single muscle. How to manage with anterior hip pain !! There are two approach for the […]
Here, we make you understand hip abduction movement in simple way. We oftnely talked about movement pattern. When you are observing someone from behind and observe that your patient calcanum adduct as they get to terminal stance and pre swing (just before they toe off),sometimes it called adductor twist. How can the quadriceps be involved? […]
Post operative status of knee joint, we quite oftenly see loos of terminal knee extension. We routinely approach for VMO strengthening and electrical stimulation to VMO, Exs. However, we do not get optimal result during gait cycle. Functioning/playing without full knee extension motion can cause problems not only at the knee joint but also up […]
VMO and VL are synergists for knee but they act as an antagonists when it comes to patellar stabilization. They play a very crucial role in patellofemoral pain. Prevalence of PFPS in general population is 25% and 60% among athletes. Theoretically it has been assumed that ratio of VMO: VL is 1:12 in ideal condition, […]
We see in routine practice when time to check EHL MMT. Patient fails to distinguish many time and they do ankle dorsiflexion along with toe extension. There is lack of disassociation of toe extension and ankle dorsiflexion. Many patient when asked to lift their toes, will drive into ankle dorsiflexion; ask them to just purely […]

Myofascial release word is very popular now days. There are many fancy tools are available to release the fascia. From the tool box of fascia releasing technique , we share our knowledge on foam rolling . This foam rolling we use as self myofascial release. This Self myofascial release (SMR)technique shines in physio industry as […]
