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 […]

Proper scapulothoracic motion is necessary for the health and function of shoulder and it is principal focus in the rehabilitation setting. Various types of push ups are used frequently during shoulder rehab as a closed kinematic chain exercise. David and colleagues conducted a study to examine the effect of different shoulder position on scapular kinematics […]

Return to sports decisions (RTP) should be made collaboratively with the team physician, rehabilitation staff, and the athlete. Physical exam findings should be consistent with pre-injury levels of pain, ROM, stability, strength, and overall function. The athlete should demonstrate adequate:Power.Muscular endurance. Sport-specific demands. Return to sports  should be step-wise and the athlete should be carefully […]

The majority of new pain disappear after a few weeks or months, but others last for years. Why? Although the process of going from acute to chronic pain has been researched for years, it is still unknown. Catastrophizing, self-efficacy, and mental health have all been shown to be significant factors in epidemiological investigations. According to […]

Coutsey : Wikipedia.com Human body is designed in such an intricate manner that upper limbs are for manipulative activities and lower limbs are for mobility. When each of the body segments is aligned properly it gives a pleasant appearance as well as a disorder free body. While poor posture and muscular imbalance often results into […]

Why is this relevant?: The rehabilitation for an ankle sprain has consisted of stretching and strengthening exercises for the foot/ankle complex, as well as balance activities. the ankle remains a clear area of the body that is very vulnerable to re-injury . Authors investigated the effect of distal injuries on proximalsegments of the body.  The […]

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, […]

How to implement in your clinical practice? We advise patient to do bridging exercise in our routine clinical practice but sometimes how much it activate glutes that we don’t know. At the end of treatment patient has the same complaint. Most of the time we activate more hamstring rather than glutes in bridging exercise.  If […]

Having a clear answer to a problem before you begin is appealing, especially with exercise prescriptions that eliminate uncertainty. However, many therapists often ask their patients during follow-up visits, “How did those exercises work for you?” This highlights a common realization: things don’t always go as planned. So, why do we view rehabilitation as prescriptive? […]

There seems to be lot of “dysfunctional psoas causing back pain” articles. We like to offer another viewpoint. How psoas  effects  on posture?    The answer is a general facilitation along the anterior kinetic chain. The body doesn’t like to be in a position to  stabilize. If it is weak in an action such as […]
