What is a Quadriceps Tendonitis? Quadriceps tendonitis, also known as patellar tendonitis or jumper’s knee, is a common overuse injury that affects the tendon connecting the quadriceps muscles to the patella (kneecap). It often occurs in athletes who participate in sports that involve jumping, such as basketball, volleyball, and track and field. The knee joint…
The brachioradialis muscle is a forearm muscle that plays a significant role in both the flexion and extension of the forearm. It is located on the lateral side of the forearm, running from the distal end of the humerus (upper arm bone) down to the radius (one of the two bones of the forearm). Additionally,…
What is a Femoral Neuropathy? Femoral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the femoral nerve, a major nerve in the leg that originates from the lumbar plexus of the lower back (specifically from the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves). The femoral nerve is one of the biggest nerves in the body. It begins…
Defination Kyphosis is a spinal condition that results in an excessive curve of the spine and an abnormal rounding of the upper back. Sometimes the condition is referred to as roundback or hunchback in the case of a severe curve. Although it can happen at any age, kyphosis is most common in teenagers. Most of…
What is a Foot Drop? Foot drop is the incapacity to elevate the forefoot as a result of the foot’s dorsiflexor insufficiency. This can thus result in a dangerous antalgic gait and even falls. Drop foot, a broad phrase indicating difficulties elevating the front portion of the foot is frequently used to refer to foot…
Exercises for Supraspinatus Tendonitis is an important part of your overall treatment plan along with Physical therapy, Pain medication, and Rest. The supraspinatus is a component of the muscles of the rotator cuff. The painful condition known as supraspinatus tendinopathy, which becomes more common around middle age, happens to be one of the most common…
Introduction The trochlear nerve, or fourth cranial nerve (CN IV), acts as one of the ocular motor nerves that regulate eye movement. As the only cranial nerve with a dorsal outflow from the brainstem, the trochlear nerve, despite being the smallest, has the longest intracranial path. It starts in the midbrain and travels laterally and…
What is LASER Therapy? Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation(LASER) LASER therapy is the use of low-intensity laser light to treat pain caused by soft tissue injury. It promotes tissue healing and regular cell activity. LASER treatment treats musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative disorders, and wound healing by emitting monochromatic light from high-intensity super luminous LEDs….
The sternocleidomastoid muscle, often abbreviated as SCM, is a prominent muscle located in the neck. Its name is derived from its points of origin and insertion: the sternum (sterno-), clavicle (cleido-), and mastoid process of the temporal bone (mastoid). This large, superficial muscle plays a crucial role in various head movements, including rotation, flexion, and…
Introduction Margret Rood created the neurophysiological and developmental therapeutic method known as “Rood’s approach” to enhance muscular tone, including both flaccidity and spasticity. Rood’s technique was created specifically for people with motor control issues and is based on the physiological reality that sensory input elicits the optimal muscle response. Developmental sequences are used, i.e., practicing…
