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
Our muscle biceps brachii is an important muscle for our upper extremity. It has two heads, one long and one short (Caput longum et breve), which are attached differently to the shoulder blade. Its function is to move the forearm, so it bends the elbow and turns the hand into supination position (all parts). Physiotherapy … Therapy for biceps tendon inflammation
Causes Causes of biceps tendon inflammation are usually overstraining due to a heavy load on the biceps, e.g. during weight training and weight lifting. Due to the location of the biceps tendon between the two bony projections on the upper arm (tuberculi major et minor) in the so-called biceps furrow (sulcus intertubercularis), the tendon is … Causes | Therapy for biceps tendon inflammation
Test A test to diagnose an inflammation of the biceps tendon is, in addition to the medical history (course of disease, accidents, etc.) and physical examination, also a functional test of the muscle. In case of an inflammation, the abduction of the arm (the abduction) against resistance is very painful and limited. The function of … Test | Therapy for biceps tendon inflammation
Rupture of biceps tendon/rupture Recurring or severe inflammation can change the composition of the biceps tendon. It becomes less resilient and brittle. In the case of chronic inflammation of the biceps tendon or other inflammatory or degenerative diseases of the shoulder joint, the tendon may tear if the strain is not adequate. More rare is … Rupture of biceps tendon/rupture | Therapy for biceps tendon inflammation
