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 benefits of Motion control running shoes have been shown, in numerous scientific studies since past decaded. The literature shows that it is use to reduce rearfoot pronation, reduce internal tibial rotation, reduce longitudinal arch flattening and reduce fatigue in lower extremity muscles. Motion control running shoes are those running shoes which contain higher durometer […]

This is the third in a multi part series. If you missed part 1, click here. For part 2, click here. Let’s rewind, There are two phases of gait: stance and swing.Stance consists of: 1) Heel strike2) Loading response3) Midstance 4) Terminal stance,  5) Pre-swing Swing consists of:1)initial (early) swing2) mid swing 3) terminal (late) swing today, […]

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 […]

The posterolateral corner of the knee (PLC) is a very complex region both anatomically and functionally. In fact, the PLC of the knee plays a vital role in both static and dynamic stability to prevent excessive hyperextension, tibial external rotation, and varus angulation  There is 16% of knee ligament injuries to the PLC of the […]

There is a significant role of psychology, social pressure, and mindset during the rehabilitation programs. if you fail to understand and do not monitor these elements, the rehabilitation is not effective. An injury comes with a set of emotions, anger, sadness, fear, irritability, changes in appetite, or behavior of an athlete`s performance. All of these […]

What scientific data should we consider before deciding whether to treat ACL tears surgically or non-surgically?  Through systematic reviews and meta-analyses, where the highest standard of empirical evidence of interventions’ effects is evaluated, physician readers can best respond to a specific topic like this (Travers et al 2019). Recent literature reviews (Smith et al. 2014, […]

Before reading this article click on introduction to core subsystem  Structures are involved : Latissimus dorsi, Thoracolumbar fascia, Gluteus maximus Superior portion or gluteus medius. IT stabilize the posterior kinetic chain Which including lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint. It transfers the force between us upper extremity and lower extremities eventually, integrated pulling movement of a body. […]

Due to the wide range of shoulder instability symptoms,… Thoracic spine mobility is an extremely important, and often… © Copyright 2020 – proactivephysioknowledge (Developed by Hems & Hub Design World)

Anatomy review According to Benn, et al (2018) highlights that hip extension is not all about GMax and Biceps femoris. Addmagnus might play an important role in stabilisation and counter forces at the hip. The upper portion of muscles is involved in hip extension and adduction and some amount of external rotation. The lower portion […]

The arch is important structure in foot. Good arch provide support and prevent overuse injuries. When we talked about overpronated foot it is more chances of repetitive strain injury to the medial side structure of foot. The human foot plays major role in allowing us to walk properly on surfaces and keep upright. While maintaining […]
