Q

aggravating activities for greater troch bursitis

A
  • ipsilateral side lying, prolonged standing, crossing the legs. rising from a chair and climbing activities.
  • Climbing and descending stairs or walking uphill.
  • Hip external rotation and abduction movements.
  • Running and jumping.
  • All these activities create increased stress or pressure on the hip joint, requiring more
    stabilization from muscle-tendon units and their surrounding structures.
  • Running, jumping, and climbing all require a high level of gluteal muscle contraction with both
    concentric and eccentric control

Q

T o F: the hamstring is the most common strained muscle

A

T (biceps femoris at the musculotendinous junction)

27
Q

what happens with degenerative changes of a hamstring strain

because of poor blood supply, there is a weakening and thickening of the tendon and this restricts healing leading to chronic tendinopathy or tendinosis

Q

what are contributing factors to a hamstring strain?

A
  • poor warm up

    -tight hip flexors, erector spinae, and hamstrings
  • poor running technique and biomechanics
  • neural tension
29
Q

signs and symptoms of hamstring strain

A
  • “pop” tearing
  • tenderness with passive stretch and palpation
  • posterior thigh pain that gets worse with resisted knee flexion
  • glute pain and point tenderness
30
Q

aggravating factors of a hamstring strain

A
  • quick increase in velocity
  • lengthening of hamstrings
  • decelerate knee extension, (eccentric action)
  • dance yoga and MMA
31
Q

easing activities of hamstring strain

A
  • slow walking
  • anti-inflam meds
  • rest
  • neutral hip and knee flexion with post pelvic tilt and lumbar spine flexion
  • slow level walking
  • positioning the hip and knee to avoid excessive stretch
32
Q

Rehab ideas for hamstring strain

  • isometric followed by concentric and eccentric pain-free exercises
  • stretching
  • joint mobilization
  • proper mechanics
33
Q

prevention of recurrence of hamstring strain includes…

A
  • strength and endurance
  • abs, lumbar, pelvic, and glute strengthening
