I was diagnosed with Kienböck’s disease, a rare wrist condition that causes the lunate bone to die due to lack of blood supply. I experienced severe wrist pain, stiffness, and limited mobility, making everyday activities like cooking, writing, and even…
I’ve always been an avid cricketer, but after one accident, followed by surgery I noticed my elbow was getting stiffer and more painful while I had taken more than 7 months physiotherapy. I couldn’t fully extend my arm, and even…
I was playing in a football game, running down the field, when I jumped for a header. I landed awkwardly, and I felt a sudden pop in my knee. I knew something was wrong. I couldn’t bear weight on my…
A case of 22 Yrs Female came with pain radiating to both arms from last 2 year taken no medical consultancies and 1 year physiotherapy with medicine but not subsided. Finally suggested for extra rib in cervical spine is to…
Arthrokinetic biomechanics plays a crucial role in understanding and addressing scaphoid injuries. Here’s a comprehensive overview: Biomechanical Considerations: Wrist kinematics: Movement patterns of the wrist joint. Scaphoid bone anatomy: Location, shape, and function. Ligamentous constraints: Volar and dorsal radiocarpal ligaments.…
Arthrokinetic techniques and exercises for frozen shoulder: Phase 1 (Pain Relief and Mobility): Glenohumeral Joint Mobilization: Anterior-Posterior Mobilization: Apply gentle, graded forces to improve joint play. Caudal Mobilization: Mobilize joint in caudal direction to reduce stiffness. External Rotation Mobilization: Improve…
Arthrokinetic biomechanics plays a crucial role in understanding and addressing rotator cuff injuries. Here’s a comprehensive overview: Biomechanical Considerations: Glenohumeral joint kinematics: Movement patterns of the shoulder joint. Rotator cuff muscle function: Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. Scapular movement:…
Arthrokinetic therapy for the cervical spine focuses on restoring optimal movement and function to the neck joints. Here’s a comprehensive overview: Biomechanical Considerations: Cervical spine kinematics: Movement patterns of the cervical spine. Joint play: Amount of movement available in each…
Let’s dive deeper into the biomechanical aspects of stiff elbow and its implications for arthrokinetic therapy: Biomechanical Considerations for Stiff Elbow: Elbow Joint Kinematics: Reduced flexion, extension, supination, or pronation can lead to stiffness. Biomechanical analysis assesses joint mobility, focusing…
Anatomy and Function The TFCC is a complex structure in the wrist, comprising: Triangular fibrocartilage Radioulnar ligaments Ulnar collateral ligament Extensor carpi ulnaris tendon sheath Biomechanical Functions: Forearm rotation Wrist stability Load transmission Injury Mechanisms: Fall onto outstretched hand Repetitive…
