This kind of fracture frequently happens when the heel is crushed by the weight of the body during a high-energy incident, such as an automobile accident or a fall from a ladder. The heel may…
Introduction Reduced hip function and hip osteoarthritis (OA) are thought to be associated with limited hip range of motion (ROM). Reduced flexion, internal rotation, and adduction range of motion are frequently seen in patients with labral tears or femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), which is also a predictor of the development of OA. A reduction in hip abduction…

Introduction Knee joint mobilizations, sometimes referred to as nonthrust manipulation, are manual physical therapy procedures. Depending on the patient’s presentation, an oscillatory manual force may be delivered to the patellofemoral, tibiofemoral, or proximal tibiofibular joints during mobilization in several hand positions or grips. The application of the four types of mobilization grades (Maitland’s Mobilizations) is…
Introduction Hip Examination is a systematic clinical assessment used to evaluate the structure, function, and movement of the hip joint. It aids in determining whether hip pain, stiffness, weakness, or mobility issues are caused by musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, trauma, or imbalances in the muscles. In order to support a precise diagnosis and direct the right course…
