What is Pott’s paraplegia? Pott’s paraplegia, which causes severe spinal deformity, is a major complication that is challenging to cure with surgery and treatment alone. It has become accepted that chemotherapy alone can effectively cure Pott’s paraplegia in cases of early spinal TB. The most prevalent location for musculoskeletal tuberculosis is the spine, and symptoms…
Introduction Recurrent shoulder dislocation is a disease that develops when the glenohumeral joint, or shoulder joint, dislocates frequently. Being one of the most moving joints in the human body, the shoulder is among the most susceptible to dislocation. Shoulder instability, also known as recurrent shoulder dislocations, is the state in which the dislocations become recurring….
What is a Gibbus Deformity? Gibbus deformity is a spinal condition characterized by a sharp angulation or curvature of the spine, often resulting from a vertebral compression fracture. This deformity can be caused by several conditions such as trauma, tumors, or congenital defects, but it is most usually linked to Pott’s disease, also known as…
The disease known as deep infrapatellar bursitis is characterized by inflammation of the bursa right below the kneecap, under the patellar tendon. Exercises for deep infrapatellar bursitis help reduce stress in the affected area and promote strength, flexibility, and pain alleviation to manage the symptoms of this condition effectively. With a concentration on improving knee…
What is Pott’s spine disease? Pott’s spine, also known as spinal tuberculosis or tuberculous spondylitis, is a form of tuberculosis that affects the vertebrae of the spine. It occurs when Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis, spreads from the lungs to the bones of the spine. This condition often leads to the destruction of…
Ankle joints are complex mechanisms that play important roles in allowing movement in the lower extremities and providing stability. Several ligaments support the ankle’s overall stability by joining the bones and ensuring optimal joint function. The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) comprise the lateral (outside) portion of the ankle joint. These ligaments contribute lateral support to the ankle by attaching the talus and calcaneus, two-foot bones, to the fibula, one of the two lower leg bones. Ankle ligament overstretching or taking produces a sprain. Ankle sprains are…
Introduction: Exercise for iliotibial band syndrome, along with pain medication and physical therapy, is an important element of your entire treatment plan. Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury, particularly among runners, cyclists, and other athletes involved in repetitive lower limb activities. The iliotibial band (IT band) is a thick band of connective…
Exercise for flat feet is a crucial part of your overall treatment plan. Incorporating specific exercises, along with foot supports, helps strengthen the arch of the foot, improving stability and reducing discomfort. Introduction: Pes planus, often known as fallen or collapsed arches, is the medical term used to describe the ailment known as flat feet….
What is a Chondromalacia Patella? Chondromalacia patella (CMP) is a disorder characterized by the weakening and deterioration of the cartilage beneath the patella (kneecap). This cartilage normally allows smooth movement of the knee joint, but when it deteriorates, it can cause pain, discomfort, and a grinding sensation during movement. Often referred to as “runner’s knee,”…
Introduction Shoulder subluxation occurs when the lining of the shoulder joint (the capsule), ligaments, or labrum become strained, torn, or detached, causing the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head) to move entirely or partially out of its socket. Individuals with shoulder subluxation typically experience pain when their shoulder “gives way.”A physical examination together with…
