Movement in the spine and hip joint make it possible for the pelvis to be established in the variety of Positions. it may be inclined or tilted in anteroposterior directions, laterally or rotated. which is known as Pelvic Tilt. Types of Pelvic tilt anteroposterior Tilt lateral tilting Rotation of Pelvis 1) Antero-posterior Tilt:  pelvic tilt measurement is performed in three ways in the erect position. It is possible to measure the angle at which the imaginary line is drawn through the pubic symphysis and the lumbosacral angle in relation to the horizontal line. The pelvic tilt is said to be normal when the angle of the os pelvic tilt is between 50 ° and 60 ° when the anterior upper iliac spines and the symphysis pubis are in the same vertical plane.  The angle is measured by a pelvic inclinometer . One arm of the inclinometer on the symphysis and the other on the PSIS. The normal range is 30 °. The increased angle of pelvic tilt may be referred to as forwarding

Fibromyalgia, also sometimes called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body in a specific way.  fibromyalgia  is a noninflammatory, nondegenerative, nonprogressive disorder, still, several factors may affect the severity of symptoms.  Fibromyalgia is the second most common condition affecting your bones and muscles with pain and still, it is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. classic symptoms of fibromyalgia are muscle and joint pain and fatigue with less activity. symptoms of fibromyalgia are, fatigue (extreme tiredness) increased sensitivity to pain headaches trouble sleeping (nonrestorative sleep) dry eyes depression anxiety pain or a dull ache in the lower belly sleeping for long periods without feeling rested  bladder problems(like interstitial cystitis) trouble focusing or paying attention In people with fibromyalgia, the brain and nerve activities are interpreted thus it may misinterpret or overreact to nor

Even something as common as a slightly sprained ankle requires therapy. Nearly every athlete or active person will at some point need physical therapy (PT) , which is the rehabilitation of an injury. Don’t shake your head. It doesn’t have to be a major injury, such as a broken bone. Even something as common as a slightly sprained ankle requires therapy. Ankle Sprains are among the most common in the lower limbs. It is usually caused by a low-velocity trauma such as twisting injuries, falls, car accidents and injuries related to sports activities. the ankle is one of the most complex joints in the human body in the lower limb as per anatomy. It has numerous bones, ligaments, and tendons. It’s definitely worth some research. Type “anatomy of the human ankle” into a search engine and you may be surprised at what you learn. For our purposes, let’s follow the timeline of a sprained ankle without PT. You first realize something is wrong with your ankle after an activity. Y

What are the three  hamstring muscles ? it is  Biceps femoris ,  Semitendinosus ,  Semimembranosus. Where is the hamstring muscle located?  Right Behind your Thighs, The hamstrings are a group of four muscles  located in the back of the thigh . They run from the pelvis down to the knee and help bend the knee and extend the hip. The hamstrings are quite susceptible to injury. Biceps femoris               The biceps femoris is the muscle of the back thigh. it names says itself that it has two-part(  Biceps- two head ). the long and short heads. Sometimes short head may be absent. The muscle's  Blood supply  is derived from the anastomoses of several arteries, the perforating branches of the profunda femoris artery, the inferior gluteal artery, and the popliteal artery. Biceps femoris ORIGIN: Biceps femoris Has two heads as it  originates  from two separate origins. the long head  originates from the ischial tuberosity. the short head  originates fr

Rhomboid major ORIGIN: spinous processes of T2-T5. INSERTION:  medial border of the scapula. ACTION: Rhomboid minor and Rhomboid major are working together as a whole to perform the movement. retract scapula (squaring shoulders), synergist with middle fibers of Trapezius. rotate glenoid cavity downward (lowering arm against resistance). stabilize scapula. NERVE SUPPLY: Dorsal scapular nerve

Quadriceps Setting (Quad Sets) is common exercise to increase knee Extension. it is basically working on quadriceps muscles to make them work isometrically. How to perform? it is the easiest exercise. The patient position will be in Supine, sitting in a chair (with the heel on the floor) or long-sitting with the knee extended (or flexed a few degrees) but not hyperextended. Have the patient contract the quadriceps isometrically, causing the patella to glide proximally; then hold for a count of 10, and repeat. sometimes this exercise is also known as Quadriceps Strengthening Exercises or SQE (Static quadriceps Exercise). Quad sets help you build and maintain strength in the muscles on top of your thigh. With this action, you are "setting" these quadricep muscles by holding them tight. Use verbal cues for patients or athletes if they are not understanding the right method such as, “Try to push your knee back and tighten your thigh muscle” or “Try to tighten your thigh

                     The Cobb Angle is Angle used as a standard measurement to determine and track the progression of scoliosis. it is a very Generalised and common method used by Physiotherapists now a day. Scoliosis of the vertebral column can be assessed with the Cobb's angle.                        Cobb's Angle suggests that the angle of curvature  can be measured by drawing lines parallel to the upper border of the upper Displaced vertebral body and the lower border of the lowest Displaced vertebra of the structural curve, then erecting perpendiculars from these lines to cross each other, the angle between these perpendiculars being the ‘angle of curvature’.                               In Above Images, Figures A and B are showing measuring Procedure for Scoliosis with the help of cobb's Angle. Figure B is showing implement of Cobb's Angle On X-Ray View. Sometimes  Hyperkyphosis  (it is a kyphotic angle) of greater than 40° commonly measured by
