The patient also displayed a positive anterior drawer sign. To conduct the anterior drawer test, the practitioner will place the patient in a supine position and flex

Hip flexors (Psoas major, rectus femoris, sartorius, tensor fasciae latae, pectineus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, gracilis)

We need to know the normal range of movement of the muscles and joints so when moving, handling and positioning a person we know the limits of each limb. We need to take into consideration other factors that may inhibit a person’s movements as:

The hip flexor is a group of muscles that assist with the upward movement of your leg or knee. An injury occurs when these muscles are torn or stretched too far. This can occur from having weak muscles, forgetting to warm up, having stiff muscles, or from a fall. The athletes that have hip flexor problems play sports that include sudden upward movements or changes in direction. Those sports include martial arts, football, soccer, and hockey.

The hip is a very versatile joint that allows a high degree of movement, although not quite as great as the shoulder. Being a ball and socket joint, it allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and other ranges of motion to occur. It is the second largest weight-bearing joint in the body, only the knee can bear more weight. It involves a complex system of bones, ligaments, and nerves to cause the movements needed to get the body in motion. Although the hip is such an important joint many things can go wrong if not taken care of properly, especially when it comes to the bones of the joint.

The entirety of the Russian Revolution had as many as nearly 6 million people dead, wounded, or reported missing; the

A routine of different muscles are subject to observation under repeated physical activity. This involves steps like looking upwards and sidewards for about 30 seconds, looking at the feet while lying on the back for 30 seconds which helps to identify diplopia and ptosis and keeping arms stretched forward for 60 seconds. Patients are unable to maintain prolonged extension of limbs due to fatigue.

From the biomechanical testing my client exhibits normal ability to adapt and lock his foot, as well as respond to vertical loading. He also has no issues with his knee position. However, he will want to address his postural issues. The lordotic posture could be caused by tight hip flexors, and erector spinae group. It also could be coupled with weak or lengthened abdominals and hamstrings. This is coined as Lower Cross Syndrome (Janda, 1996). Because of the lordotic posture I will want to test for muscles strength and flexibility know which muscles is most at fault and address it. Another point to note is the forward upper cross syndrome. This could be due to years of studying and looking at a computer or phone. He could have week neck deep neck flexors and lower traps while his upper traps and sternocleidomastoid could be tight.

In conclusion, during forward steps of gait with ADIM, there was increased bilateral IO and TrA thickness and increased hip extension. Increased hip extension during forward step with ADIM may have been caused by the increased stability provided by IO and TrA, causing motion restriction at the spine and pelvis, or there was increased gluteus maximus activation. Also, the ADIM potentially caused bilateral activation of the IO and TrA and decreased contralateral pelvic rotation during forward steps with ADIM.

As an alternative to maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the six-minute walk test (6MWT)4 has been more commonly used, since its cost is low, it is easy to perform and has been used to assess exercise capacity before and after interventions.

ACTIVE MOVEMENT – without touching the injury sight, I would ask the player to attempt to perform a variety of movements. This would include flexion, extension and rotation. If these movements can be performed without pain I would proceed onto the next step of the assessment.

Then PROM with overpressure in all directions of the right hip was performed. After this warm-up sequence, the patient would perform basic therapeutic exercise including heel raises, toe raises, toe and heel walking, clamshells, and quadruped hip extension exercises. After that sequence of exercises, the patient started the PNF rolling sequence.

Her flexibility would be testing next through the zipper stretch (take right hand over right shoulder and bring left hand up the back. Measure the distance between the two hands…. Switch arms and repeat) and the sit and reach (sit on the floor with legs out straight. Shoes off. Feet are placed flat against a box with both knees held flat against the floor as far as possible and holds the greatest stretch for two seconds… no jerky movements… and measure).
