Clinically we are expected to assess all aspects of a patient’s musculoskeletal condition. However, it is challenging for us in the clinic to use valid and reliable measures to test the strength, so what are the clinical reliable tests are available to test hip muscle strength? Let’s start with functional tests, crossly er al, all […]
The psoas major is largest muscle in cross section at lower levels of the lumbar spine. It hasattavhment to all lumbar spine transverse processes and to the antero medial aspect of all lumbar transverse processes and to the anteromedial aspect of the lumbar discs and adjoining bodies with exception of L5 and S1 discs. These […]
Are you looking for some EMG data on what fires when in walking vs running gait? The conclusion and point of the study are good, but the EMG data and diagrams are very well explained for those who are seeking a greater understanding of what goes on during walking and running . The two types […]
There are variety of assesment tool can be used to evaluate core stability. A multidirectional approach is recommended utilizing tests for muscle recruitment,endurance,neuromuscular control. Core stability must be trained in progressive manner. . Enhancing core stability through exercise is common to musculoskeletal injury prevention programs. Definitive evidence demonstrating an association between core instability and injury is […]
Patellofemoral pain,there are many factors to consider including quadriceps strength and function, foot motion and mobility, muscle flexibility, pain sensitivity, and most importantly load management. What happen when hip loss strength? The hip controls half of the patellofemoral joint.Patellofemoral pain is thought to be caused by too much lateral tracking of the knee cap on […]
With the ultimate goal of matching individuals with specific interventions from which they will most likely benefit[1], classification provides a general framework for the identification of subgroups of patients based on the primary treatment goal. Clinical decision-making can be aided by diagnostic algorithms and classification, which make it easier for doctors to determine the best […]
What we conclude from the study? Bowden et al. observed the fluid flow within intervertebral discs as an indicator of health in 26 participants between 25-55 years of age and found the following:⠀ ✔Participants underwent structural and diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate intervertebral disc health and fluid flow. ✔Participants with any amount of […]

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) has commonly been thought of as an overuse injury in runners. The exact etiology of ITBS is not well understood and there is no consensus on how to properly manage it. The purpose of this case series is to present a comprehensive model that utilizes a review of the current literature […]
We talked about gait analysis in our previous post in two parts. In this post we write compansation during gait pattern . We routinely do different joint examination depending on patients problem of course gait examination should be the standard aspect of every examination process. The information gathered during functional assessment will allow the clinician […]
Does texting alter your gait pattern ? It seems to slow you down, and according to this study, alter firing patterns of muscles about your ankle. Perhaps you are trying to maintain stability? It is interesting that ankle dorsiflexion actually increased and plantar flexion decreased. There is slightly reduced their gait speed to safely cope […]
Before following the treatment part for sciatica based on a faulty movement pattern, read our previous blog here. Treatment: Start with a knee to chest exercise because when the hip is relatively stiff, excessive load is generated in the lumbar spine. lack of movement occurs at the hip during the stance phase. without opening the […]

The 1st Metatarsophalangeal Joint (MPJ) is formed by the head of the first metatarsal and the base of the proximal phalanx. This hinge joint plays a crucial role in movements such as walking, running, and jumping by allowing sagittal plane progression. For optimal push-off during the gait cycle, the MPJ requires at least 30 degrees […]
