Physiotherapy is very important in the treatment of Perthes disease and should be performed regularly and often over a long period of time. Parents should also consistently continue a homework program with their child in the home environment that was developed in the physiotherapy program. Applications/Contents In the early stages, it is important to relieve … Physiotherapy Perthes disease
Other therapeutic procedures In addition to the possible medication to relieve pain or inflammation of the joint, relief plays an important role in Perthes disease. Orthoses can relieve the force/pressure on the hip joint and thus protect the femoral head (e.g. Thomas splint), crutches may be necessary at times, and even complete relief for a … Other therapeutic procedures | Physiotherapy Perthes disease
Possible side effects of Perthes disease The problem is that children suffering from Perthes disease are often not yet able to localize their pain exactly. Pain can occur locally at the hip joint, in the muscles surrounding the joint (e.g. thigh), but also in surrounding joints (e.g. knee joint). By relieving the hip joint or … Possible side effects of Perthes disease | Physiotherapy Perthes disease
An impingement syndrome is when there is a tightness in a joint that is painful and leads to restricted movement or degeneration (wear) of the joint. In the hip, this constriction exists between the acetabulum, the socket formed by the pelvic bones, and the femur, the femur bone that forms the femoral head. It is … Physiotherapy for hip impingement syndrome
Causes The causes of hip impingement can be caused by a change in the formation of the femoral head or the acetabulum from birth. If the femoral head is too large and the angle between the head and neck of the bone is altered, FAI may be favored. Also, if the acetabulum is too deep, … Causes | Physiotherapy for hip impingement syndrome
Summary In hip impingement, there is a tightness between the femoral head and the socket. The cartilage and the capsule can be injured by entrapment and the development of arthrosis is promoted. Therefore, surgery is often indicated in which the joint mechanics are restored arthroscopically. Mobilizing physiotherapy is combined with strengthening exercises for the hip … Summary | Physiotherapy for hip impingement syndrome
The anatomy of the bones is slightly altered, so that the joint partners do not slide optimally into each other, but bump into each other when moving. There are two different forms of hip impingement: pincer impingement and cam impingement. Pincer impingement is a malformation of the acetabulum on the pelvic bone. The hollow hemisphere … Physiotherapy for a hip impingement
Further measures Further measures to relieve the painful hip are manual measures such as traction, in which the joint is slightly pulled apart, and the massage of surrounding tense muscles. If the hip impingement is too pronounced, conservative therapy is not effective or exercise is no longer possible, surgery must be considered to avoid painful … Further measures | Physiotherapy for a hip impingement
Summary Hip impingement is an abnormal growth of the bone, which mostly affects young athletes. If the extent of the problem is low, conservative therapy may be sufficient, strength building and a stable posture combined with relief of the joint and omission of the causative sport. In more severe cases, surgical removal of the excess … Summary | Physiotherapy for a hip impingement
Various anatomical disorders of the hip joint are generally described as hip malposition. The most common clinical pictures here include rotational malpositions and hip dysplasia. The hip joint is formed by the femur and the acetabulum. The acetabulum encloses the head of the femur like a nut in its shell, which is why it is … Hip Malpositions
Hip Dysplasia In case of hip dysplasia, there is a risk of dislocation (dislocation) due to the lack of the acetabulum during movement. The head of the femur slides out of the acetabulum and gets stuck in a painfully immobile position. To avoid this, the magic word here is to build up strength. A stable … Hip Dysplasia | Hip Malpositions
Hip dysplasia in children In congenital and recognized hip malpositions, various measures can be taken to treat the infant’s hip at an early stage. A common method is to place a plaster cast in a certain position, which is maintained for several weeks to force the bones to ossify in this position. If a dislocation … Hip dysplasia in children | Hip Malpositions
