Abnormal Endfeel in Physiotherapy

The abnormal end feels, several of which have subdivisions and each of which is commonly associated with some degree of pain or restricted movement. classified in Five : 1) Muscle Spasm :  This end feel is invoked by movement, with a sudden dramatic arrest of movement often accompanied by pain. The end feel is sudden and hard. An early muscle spasm occurs early in the ROM, almost as soon as movement starts; this type of muscle spasm is associated with inflammation and is seen in more acute conditions. A late muscle spasm occurs at or near the end of the ROM. It is usually caused by instability and the resulting irritability caused by movement. 2) Capsular : this end feel is similar to tissue stretch. present earliest in ROM. ROM is reduced.  this end feel can be classified into hard capsular , in which the end feel has a thicker stretching quality to it, and soft capsular (boggy), which is similar to normal tissue stretch end feel but with a restricte...

How to Perform Bridging Exercise?

The bridge exercise is a backbend, a core strengthener, and a balance pose all in one. Bridging exercise, a closed chain weight-bearing exercise, is an exercise that increases muscular strength of the hip extensors and promotes trunk stability. The bridge exercise is a great way to isolate and strengthen the gluteus (butt) muscles and hamstrings (back of the thigh).   If you do this exercise correctly, you also will find that it is good core stability and strength exercise that targets the abdominal muscles as well as the muscles of the lower back and hip. It's also known as the hip raise. It is often prescribed for patients with back pain and increases the activities of trunk stabilization muscles such as the internal oblique, external oblique, and erector spinal muscles. The bridge exercise is considered a basic rehab exercise to improve core and spinal stabilization. It's considered to be a safe exercise for those with back issues. If you sit all day, ...

Iliopsoas Iliacus and Iliopsoas Psoas major | Thigh Movers

Iliopsoas Iliacus also is known as the iliopsoas(Iliopsoas Iliacus + Iliopsoas Psoas major). this refers as two muscles which are separate in the abdomen but merges while inserted and thus known as the joint iliopsoas. Origin of the iliopsoas Iliopsoas originates from iliac fossa & crest, lateral sacrum separately. Iliopsoas Psoas major Originates from transverse processes of L1-L5, bodies & discs of T12-L5. Insertion of the iliopsoas The iliopsoas is inserted on the lesser trochanter of the femur as one tendon. The action of the iliopsoas The iliopsoas( Iliopsoas Iliacus + Iliopsoas Psoas major ) is the prime mover of thigh flexion.iliopsoas is also responsible for lateral flexion of the vertebral column(psoas). Nerve Supply of the iliopsoas The iliopsoas is supplied with Femoral nerve (L2-L4) (Iliacus), Anterior rami of sacral plexus (L1-L3 ) (Psoas major). Ili...

Sartorius | Thigh muscles

The sartorius muscle is a thin, long, superficial muscle in the anterior compartment of the thigh. It runs down the length of the thigh, runs over 2 joints—hip and knee joints and is the longest muscle in the human body. muscle has a twisted position in the body. Sartorius passes behind the medial condyle of the femur to end in a tendon. The tendon sartorius, after taking an anterior curve joins with the tendon of the Gracilis and Semitendinosus in the pes anserinus before its final insertion. Origin of Sartorius : Satorius originates anterior superior iliac spine. Insertion: Satorius is inserted on the medial aspect of the proximal tibia. Actions of Sartorius:  Sartorius flexes, abducts & laterally rotates the thigh. Sartorius also flexes knee (weak flexor).  Nerve Supply:  it is supplied by Femoral nerve. Arterial Supply: The sartorius muscle receives blood supply from superficial circumflex iliac, lateral femoral, deep femoral, descending gen...

Antagonist muscles

Antagonist :  I am against the agonist , so I am famous as antagonist woohoo!😏                                  antagonist's muscles are acting against the agonist. for the example, we take the elbow flexion and extension. as we know biceps brachii and brachialis is acting together as an agonist for elbow flexion, here the extensor muscles of the elbow the triceps is antagonist's muscles.                                  this both agonist and antagonist's muscles work under neurological reflex when agonist contracts antagonist goes under relaxation or vice-versa.

Anterior drawer test for Shoulder

The term Anterior Shoulder instability refers to a shoulder in which soft-tissue or bony insult allows the humeral head to sublux or dislocate from the glenoid fossa. don't confuse between drawer test for knee and this drawer test for the shoulder. It is an injury to the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) where the humerus is displaced or subluxate from its normal position in the centre of the glenoid fossa and the joint surfaces no longer touch each other. Procedure  Patient Position: The patient is in a supine position and the affected shoulder over the edge of the table. limb Position: The patient’s arm should be relaxed. Position the arm in a combined midrange abducted position with forwarding flexion and lateral rotation. Therapist hand Position: The stabilizing hand is placed on the scapula so that the fingers and thumb secure the scapula at the spine of the scapula and the coracoid. Then The patient’s arm is pulled anteriorly to apply a gliding force to the gle...
