Inguinal hernia is a protrusion of abdominal cavity contents through the inguinal canal and it is very common in men compared to women (lifetime risk 27% for men, 3% for women). Normally the shutter mechanisms of the antero-lateral abdominal muscles (internal oblique and transversus abdominis) and the sphincter like effect of the fascia of external oblique muscle (anterior wall of the canal) work together to maintain the integrity and resistance of inguinal canal against elevated intra abdominal pressure. Apparently, any abnormality or inappropriateness in the function of these elements can facilitate the production of hernias. Most investigators have recognized posterior wall weakness also as the main cause of direct hernias which is the result …show more content…
These outcome variables were presented in the form of mean and standard deviation. Based on the descriptive results we have understood that there is a indication for the reduction of muscle function, hip flexibility and subjective experience of pain due to the inguinal hernia. The mean score of pain, hip flexibility and abdominal muscle function also clearly indicates the role of inguinal hernia in the development of above mentioned variables. In case of hip flexibility exercises and pain reduction in patients with inguinal hernia the physiotherapists should understand the correlation among the variables. So, the correlation among different variables was carried out to plan the effective …show more content…
According to previous findings the forceful contraction of the hip flexors during kicking to swing the leg forwards and downwards causes a repeated traction at the conjoint tendon. During sudden changes in direction while running, a forceful eccentric pull may also occur through the groin muscles may cause fatigue and injury. So it is understood that our study’s correlation findings between the pain and hip flexibility may be studied further to confirm the role of hip flexion and inguinal injury related pain.21,
In healthy individuals, anterior rotation of the innominate occurs during extension of the freely swinging leg. When the innominate anteriorly rotates, it glides inferiorly down the short arm and posteriorly along the long arm of the SIJ. In non-weights bearing an arthrokinematic glide between the innominate and the sacrum occurs during posterior rotation of the innominate and is physiological (i.e., follows the articular surfaces). In weight bearing, the close-packing of the SIJ precludes this physiological glide. Sacral nutation produces the same relative arthrokinematic glide as posterior rotation of the innominate (inferoposterior motion of the sacrum is the same as anterosuperior motion of the innominate); sacral counternutation produces the same arthrokinematic glide as anterior rotation of the innominate (anterosuperior motion of the sacrum is the same as inferoposterior motion of the
Additionally, males are slightly more likely statistically to suffer from cubital tunnel
Introduction The aim of this review paper is to access the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury of the knee (tibiofemoral) joint, which is a common sport and exercise injury related to the musculoskeletal system. Investigation of the anatomy and physiology of the knee joint, and the diagnosis, etiology, pathophysiology, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of ACL injuries will provide a descriptive epidemiology. This will aid readers in making informed management and treatment decisions, and guide them to safely perform movements to prevent injury. This review paper will incorporate holistic views on relevant scientific research, including primary resources such as journal articles and lecture notes, which will be cross-referenced
But do inversion table for hip pain really work? Firstly, hip pain can be caused by diverse health conditions or body injuries like a groin strain, labral tears, an upset or injury of hip surrounding muscles, arthritis, poor posture or exercise among others. Hence, inversion tables are used widely across the medical profession by therapists, chiropractors, and so many others to treat patients. About 75 percent of the people,
Runners knee seems to be the most common injury to a runner and also to most any sport that involves running, so this can happen to the football player also. What is runners knee? " Also known as patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Runners knee is pain under and just a little above or below the knee. The causes for this condition very from overuse, injury, excess weight, a kneecap that is not properly aligned," LeBauer, A. (n.d.)
The 20 athletes were comprised of 17 men and 3 women ranging from the ages of 18-30 years old (Christakou, Zervas, & Lavallee, 2007). The sports in which the ankle injuries occurred were volleyball, basketball, mini-soccer, long jump, gymnastics, and judo. The 20 athletes were then divided in to two groups at random consisting of the control and the experimental group. In the control group there were nine men and one woman.
The constant battering with every stride takes its toll over the course of the endeavor. The activation of both fast and slow twitch muscles on one’s quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves introduces a new level of stimulation and fatigue to the legs. Something the body almost never experiences. With added stress fractures being common on runner’s shines and feet. And both your heart and kidneys working overtime to keep the machine that is your body running.
Chest breathing increases the susceptibility of developing trigger points in the scalene muscles. The scalene muscles plays a role in elevation of the first two ribs during upper chest breathing. This muscle has the potential to influence carpal tunnel syndrome due
One of the articles suggests that foam rolling improves ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. This range of motion only lasts 10 to 30 minutes but showed significant increases within that frame of time in the flexibility of the ankle. One of the reasons why this was investigated is because athletes with limited ankle dorsiflexion experience greater peak landing force. Therefore, increasing the risk of suffering the injury in the lower extremities. According to the researchers, the foam rolling is one of the effective ways to avoid injury and increase short term flexibility (10, 2).
As the summer wore on, I began to experience hip pain. It was only minor and I thought nothing of it. I had aches and pains all the time, and they had always gone away on their own before. This pain was different though, it didn’t go away. Cross country season rolled around and the pain was still there.
Strains – strains occur as a result of a partial or a complete muscle tear. Tendonitis – this condition occurs as a result of irritation or inflammation of the tendon. Meniscus tears – this is one of the most common knee injuries in football, as it occurs due to the sudden changes in speed or the sudden side-to-side movements. Bursitis – this condition occurs as a result of irritation or swelling of the knee

Introduction: Piriformis syndrome (PS) is a neuromuscular condition with a special combination of several characteristic manifestations mainly highlighted by gluteal pain(1). Others may involve pain in the lower back area down to buttocks, paraesthesia, numbness and limitations to some weight-bearing activities like walking for long periods, standing and sitting to some degrees(1-5). Other symptoms may also include: the sciatic notch tenderness, swelling, sexual dysfunctions and splayfoot with a dominant external rotation in supine lying indicating tightness of the muscle(6). In general, four primary manifestations had the highest tendency to be found as was reported by a recent systematic review. These include: posterior buttock pain, increased sciatica symptoms with sitting, tenderness over the greater sciatic notch and positive results of Piriformis muscle tension tests
In studying athletic training, I have learned how to integrate external clinical evidence from systematic research, analyze the complex movement and the pathology of injuries and develop effective rehabilitation plans. For
