Q

Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Biomechanical Etiology – Current Concept (Fairclough et al., 2006, 2007)

IT band is attached to the distal femur and cannot rub on epicondyle
IT band is compressed against epicondyle during movement
Tibial IROT occurs on femur with knee (flexion/extension)
Tibial IROT (decreases/increases) compression
Pain due to compression of fat layer under ITB vs repetitive friction

Q

ITBS Treatment

Stretch?
1 and 2 joint hip flexors
WHY? - Restricted hip flexor length (Thomas test) demonstrated (increased/decreased) gluteal activation

Self stretch
Contract- relax
Active stretch

Thomas test is positive – restricted hip (flexor/extensor) length

People with tight hip flexors don’t use their glutes well

Maintain core stability – if go into lumbar extension when doing these stretches then it will (increase/decrease) the stretch.

decreased; flexor; decrease;

Q

When someone does hip extension and they extend their lumbar spine it can come from tight hip (flexors/extensors)., spine will go into extension.

Q

Gluteal Muscle Recruitment

Lower crossed syndrome:
Specific patterns of muscle weakness and tightness

Weak (anterior/posterior) abdominals   (APT)
Short lumbar (flexors/extensors)
Short hip (flexors/extensors)
(Tight/Weak) gluteals – In this position gluteals can not activate effectively

Restricted hip flexor length (Thomas test) demonstrated (increased/decreased) gluteal activation

“Gluteal amnesia”

If you are in lumbar extension the hip flexors are shortened and they get tight and the glutes don’t work as well.

People with lower crossed syndrome don’t activate their glutes as well.

Have pt do clamshells on both sides. Involved side – they don’t get muscle fatigue because they are using hamstrings or something else to compensate

Trochanteric Bursitis

Pain in (medial/lateral) hip with possible radiation of pain down to (ankle/knee) region.

How do you differentiate?

Reproduction with L spine movement?
Dermatomes? Sensation changes?
Myotomes?
DTR’s?
Dural Tension signs? (SLR)
Palpation Gr trochanter
Hip motion (compression)

You know its not from the lumbar spine – based on the repeated motions

92
Q

Mechanism of Hamstring Injuries

(Low/High) speed running
(Initial/Terminal) swing phase of gait
Hamstrings are active (accelerating/decelerating) shank in prep for foot contact
Large (concentric/eccentric) demand
(Acceleration/Deceleration) injury
(Semitendinosus/Biceps femoris) more often injured

Simultaneous hip (flexion/extension) and knee (flexion/extension)
Kicking
Dancing
Stretch injury
Semimembranosis

Hamstrings have to decelerate the tibia and it is a large eccentric demand

Most peoples quads are a lot stronger than their hamstrings

Based on amount of:
Pain
Damage
Loss of motion
Reflects underlying amount of tissue damage

Can be used to estimate recovery period

More damage - the longer it takes to heal

A

mild; moderate; severe;

95
Q

Hamstring Exam

History
Sudden onset of (anterior/posterior) thigh pain during activity (running)
Audible pop - (distal/proximal) tendon
Usually unable to continue activity

Purpose of exam:
Location and severity of injury
Mechanism and location have prognostic impact on time to return to pre injury level

Biceps femoris - (high speed running/kicking)
(Shorter/Longer) recovery period

Semi membranosis - (high speed running/kicking)
(Shorter/Longer) recovery period

A

posterior; proximal; high speed running; Shorter; kicking; longer

96
Q

Hamstring Exam

Palpation:
Palpable defect - grade (1/3)
Measure length of palpable pain region - Healing reassessment

Location of pain - distance from point of maximal pain to IT
More proximal the site of the point of maximal pain, the (shorter/greater) the time needed to recover

IT - Ischial tuberosity

Palpate where pain is

Complete rupture – can feel where it is torn

The larger the area is the longer the healing

Distal hamstring tears equate to a quicker recovery

A

3; greater;
