Pes anserinus tendinitis/bursitis syndrome, or pes anserine bursitis, is a cause of chronic knee pain and weakness. [3] [4] It occurs when the medial portion of the knee is inflamed. If the bursa underlying the tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus gets irritated from overuse or injury, a person can develop this ailment. This ...
Therapeutic ultrasound and E-stim deliver medication deep to the bursa to reduce inflammation. The rehabilitative exercises are done with the intention of stretching and strengthening the hip abductors, quadriceps, and hamstrings. [2] These stretches have the potential to significantly reduce the tension over the pes anserine bursa. [citation ...
This condition usually occurs in athletes from overuse and is characterized by pain, swelling and tenderness. [6] The pes anserinus involves the tendons of the gracilis, semitendinosus, and sartorius muscles; these tendons attach onto the anteromedial proximal tibia. When inflammation of the bursae underlying the tendons occurs, they separate ...
PTs and OTs provide a wide-range of non-surgical treatments to prevent or reduce symptoms of CTS and support recovery following surgical treatment, which primarily fall within the categories of wrist positioning (also known as splinting), patient education, manual therapy, sensory reeducation, exercises, thermal treatments, workplace ...
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that induces pains when ulnar nerves are stretched, pressed, and irritated. This syndrome is also known as "ulnar nerve entrapment". Similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome evokes symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. [10]
[3] [4] Chronic pain is considered a syndrome because of the associated symptoms that develop in those experiencing this disorder. [5] Chronic pain affects approximately 20% of people worldwide and accounts for 15–20% of visits to a physician. [3] Pain can be categorized according to its location, cause, or the anatomical system which it affects.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise. [1] [2]: 63 It is thought to be caused by eccentric (lengthening) exercise, which causes small-scale damage (microtrauma) to the muscle fibers. After such ...
The semitendinosus, remarkable for the great length of its tendon of insertion, is situated at the posterior and medial aspect of the thigh.. It arises from the lower and medial impression on the upper part of the tuberosity of the ischium, by a tendon common to it and the long head of the biceps femoris; it also arises from an aponeurosis which connects the adjacent surfaces of the two ...
