What happens to patients when we do not repair their cuff tears? Five-year rotator cuff quality-of-life index outcomes following nonoperative treatment of patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears – Boorman et al (2018). Examine 5-year outcomes in a prospective cohort of patients previously enrolled in a nonoperative rotator cuff tear treatment program. 1) 104 participants […]
We all see medial knee pain located just below the medial tibial plateau. It often results from running, or substitute work of hamstring but sometimes with jumping sports as well. these people are often diagnosed with an MCL type injury, but when you examine them further, they do not really fit into the diagnosis box […]
Abstract : Background Alteration of normal scapulohumeral rhythm due to the fatigue of scapular-stabilizing muscles induces decrease of rotator cuff strength. In this study we analyzed the interobserver and intraobserver realibility of the infra- spinatus strength test (IST) and infraspinatus scapular retraction test (ISRT) in 29 overhead athletes with scapular dykinesis, before and after 6 […]
Nerve mobilization techniques have been recently used as a method to adjust radiating pain related to disk disease, and in particular, mobilization techniques for the sciatic nerves improve the mobility of the sciatic nerves, decrease mechanosensitivity of the nervous system, and heighten compliance of nerve tissues, relieving low back pain. Through such mobilization techniques, damages […]
Before read this blog click here to know more on trapezius. Upper Trapezius The highest Maximal Isometric Voluntary Contraction (MVIC) is achieved with elevation of scapula. It also helps the scapula move upward.. During scapular abduction, UT activity progressively increases from 0° to 60° and from 120° to 180° of abduction.(1) Researchers have found that […]
Bell, D. R., Oates, D. C., Clark, M. A., & Padua, D. A. (2013). Two-and 3-dimensional knee valgus are reduced after an exercise intervention in young adults with demonstrable valgus during squatting. Journal of athletic training,48(4), 442-449. ABSTRACT https://aclstrong.com/3-things-you-should-know-about-knee-valgus/ The methodology of this study was quite strong. The researchers took care to standardize the performance of the […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Studies suggest that low back pain is associated with repeated forward bending and lifting objects. Bending and lifting weight may cause back pain and makes the patient more prone to get slip disc issues. Nachemson found that holding a 20 kg load while bending forward only 20 degrees increased the lumbar IVD load by over […]

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), commonly referred to as Total Knee Replacement (TKR), is one procedure that, until recently, went unnoticed by the media. One of the most common disorders I’ve treated patients for in my career is TKAs. I’ve seen many of my patients recover well, and the research is typically in favour of them. […]
As always, the response is dependent. For many people with Achilles tendinopathy, it can take 3 to 6 months to observe improvement, and full pain relief can occasionally take longer than a year. Some people however see quick recovery within 3 months (Silbernagel et al. 2007). In fact, only 65% of participants in a Silbernagel […]
Our views for this article: Drawing in,” also known as, transverse abdominis (TVA) activation is often the first cue given by a Physiotherapist when guiding an patient through an exercise or movement pattern. “Bracing” is an alternative approach to lumbar stabilization involving an isometric contraction of both deep and superficial trunk musculature. This article provides evidence […]
Purpose : This review aims to identify, through an analysis of literature, what are the rehabilitation and reconditioning processes for post meniscectomy sport. To propose some theoretical tools of scientific reflection to enhance the clinical / rehabilitative aspects of personalization of post-meniscal recovery program in relation to the joint environment and the femoral-tibial compressive forces. […]
Your goal is to strengthen the intrinsics muscles of foot. The question is which exercise is best? This study closely observed all muscle activation of the abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis, abductor digiti minimi, quadratus plantae, flexor digiti minimi, adductor hallucis oblique, flexor hallucis brevis, and interossei and lumbricals with the short foot, toe spreading, […]

Maintaining and restoring the peripheral nerve system’s functionality, as well as maximising mobility and balance to guarantee a suitable degree of function, should be the aim of controlling peripheral neuropathy. Some of the best exercises and methods for enhancing balance and foot awareness in people with peripheral neuropathy will be covered in this article. Every […]
