What is Compartment Syndrome?

Compartment syndrome happens when excessive pressure builds up inside the body's enclosed muscle space. Compartment syndrome is usually the result of bleeding or swelling following an injury. What is Compartment Syndrome? The hazardously high compartment syndrome pressure impedes blood flow to and from the tissues affected. It can be an emergency that requires surgery to avoid permanent injury. Behind the Muscle in Compartment Syndrome? Organ or muscle groups are organized into areas which are called compartments. The walls of these compartments are formed by strong connective tissue webs, called fascia. Blood or edema (fluid resulting from inflammation or injury) may build up in the compartment following an injury.  Fascia's tough walls can't easily expand, and compartment pressure increases, preventing adequate blood flow to tissue inside the compartment. Severe damage to tissue may result, with loss of body function or even death. The legs, arms, and abdomen are more lik...

What is Muscle Contusion Or Bruise?

Athletes in contact sports have many chances of getting a muscle contusion (bruise). Contusions are second only to strains as a leading cause of injuries from sports. Most of the contusions are minor and heal fast, without taking the athlete out of the game. However, severe contusions can cause deep tissue damage and complications which may prevent an athlete from playing sports for months. What is the Difference between Muscle contusion or bruise? Contusions occur when a blunt object strikes a part of the body with a direct blow or repeated blows, crushing underlying muscle fibers and connective tissue without breaking the skin. The result of falling or jamming the body against a hard surface can be a contusion. Symptoms Swelling Pain Limitation in ROM Around injured Area Weakness in injured Muscle stiffness Sometimes Blood accumulation is present at the site of damage underlying complications like a fracture, dislocation of joint sprain torn muscle Abdominal contusion in sports cause...

Base of Support (BOS) in Physiotherapy

The base of support means the area supported beneath the object. Whenever the base of support is more the stability will be more.  Greater the BOS lower the COG of any object. For example, the fundamental position of standing the BOS is lesser than the lying, so COG in the standing position it is in the higher level whereas in the lying posture it will be just near to the ground as a result lying posture is more stable than any other fundamental position and also it can be maintained for the longer period. The stability is directly proportional to BOS and inversely proportional to COG.

how Physiotherapy can Help in diabetic neuropathy?

A severe and common complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes is diabetic neuropathy. It's a kind of nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels in the long term.  The condition usually develops slowly, occasionally over several decades.

What is agonist and antagonis Muscle in Physiotherapy?

Agonist Muscle these are chief muscles , which produces the main movement. it is also called as prime movers as they are initiative muscles for the action. there are many muscles are in the body which is acting as prime movers. but as for example, we take the flexors of the elbow to understand this concept. elbow flexion is done by brachialis as well as biceps brachii muscles. no doubt both muscles are needed to do elbow flexion but the brachialis has its major function into elbow flexion. so here brachialis is the agonist muscle for the elbow flexion. 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. th...
