Q

A

V stable and robust
Subject to high loads through many movements

34
Q

Acute hip

A

Majority of studies using 4-6 weeks
Sharp, obvious pain in groin
Big haemorrhage
Instant loss of balance and performance

35
Q

A

Adductor injuries

36
Q

What other injuries common for acute

A

Proximal rectus femoris and iliopsoas

37
Q

More than — injuries showed no imaging signs of acute injuries

A

1 in 5

38
Q

Clinically diagnosed adductor injuries often confirmed on

A

Imaging

39
Q

Iliopsoas + rectus femoris injuries showed

A

a different radiological injury location in more than 1/3 of cases

40
Q

Acute - 0-48 hours

A

RICE
Gentle stretching to P1
Active pain-free ex
Phys mod (TENS, laser)

41
Q

Acute- after 1st 48 hours

A

Gradually increase stretching
Gradually increase strengthening (act abd/add, add/flex against resistance, stabilizing exs)
Functional strengthening
Sport-specific skills

42
Q

Movement patterns

A

Groin/hip pain usually multi-structural, multi-planar and multi-directional
A number of research without stringent inclusion/exclusion criteria found strong associations
Still high incidence, still high recurrence, still no reliable treatment strategy

43
Q

Treatment

A
  • Active rehab with manual elements
  • Including mainly the adductor and abdominal muscle
  • Regardless of evidence, not all discovered elements are present in exercise programmes
  • Common: abdominal, adductor work
  • Missing: sport specific rehab, other muscle groups (adductors? Hip ROM?)
44
Q

Prehab groin

A

Adductors + trunk flexors + glutes

Functional work

45
Q

Hip pathologies

A

Labral tears

FAI (morphology, not pathology)

46
Q

Hip pathologies- treatment

A

o Usual patient: M/F, active (loading activities) professional
o Treatment: usually good and quick improvement (to the point) with intense gluteal exercises (off-loading) and temporary avoiding painful activities
o Some further improvement (usually including increase of strength and stability)
o Recovery either plateaus, or go back to square 1 with going back to sports
o Loading management
o Injection
o Surgery
