Последние выводы о состояниии my mysculoskeletal system

1) Расслабленные(Decreased Tonus) Erectors Left -> Left Inominate Abduction
                                                                            -> Trunk right rotation L4 on L5;
                                                                                 Left on Left Sacrum Torsion; L5 goes with sacrum

Action: Hip Hyperextention last Phase
inable to do it in Sagital Plane. Shift of movement plane. Forced Abduction & External Rotation

Left: Lover Part
Weakness Inability of power contraction
test: good morning exersice on one leg
Not Engaged/Participate in low back extention from bending position->
Inactivation Multifudus &Part of Erectors probably Iliocostalis that conected with Glut Max (neigbours in kinetic chain)

There is two portions of Glut Max. 
Superiororiginates at the posterior sacrum, ilium(superior gluteal line); attaches to the gluteal tuberosity of the femur; 
Inferiororiginates at the posterior sacrum , ligamentous(sactoruberous, iliosacral lig) sheath; attaches to iliotibial tract.

Glut Max Effect Sacrum Angle - increase Pelvic Tilt

3) Расслабление Glut Med Ant Part Right
Test: One leg standing position hip slightly extended & internaly rotated Inominate Shifted Posterior (Like as Opposite leg going to make a step Hip Flexed with Inominate Anterior Translation)
=> Left Inomminate Drop
     Left Glut Med Post, Piriformis External Rotators "останавливают падение"/останавливают Shift







Assist Gl Max As Stabiliser in Hip Extention
Inability to Internaly Rotate From Leg Extended Position->
Inability to stabilyse Leg (antagonist for Gl Max) in Leg Extension->
Inability Gl Max To Forcefuly Contract


4) Short Hypertonic Ilia-Psoas Left
Reason: a) massage work Using Right Arm more Long Stroke With Right Arm Create Rotary Moment
             b) Hypotonic Left Erectors Trunk Left Rotatores, Left Multifidi
             c) Hypotonic Left Internal Obliques
             d) Posterior Pelvic Rotation : останавливает rotation when sitting

5) Hypotonus Internal Oblique Left
Reason: Judo Right Trunk Rotation Left External Right Internal Obliques Overdevelopment
Inability to contract Why: restriction of left trunk rotation Iliapsoas(pulls low back ventral inferior & right rotation- lock vertebra in Fl Sl Rr)

6) Hamstrings Hypertonic
Why: Glut Max Inability of contraction->Hamstring Facilitate

7) Hip Rotatores:
Function: Assist Abd Ext Rot, Stabilise the femoral head in the acetabulum
Quadratus Femoris; Obturator Internus- расслабление этих мышц может привести к diclocation of femoral head & changes in hip-inominate relationship. Probably can cause Inominate Abduction.

Yoga - streching with stability

Основной принцип йоги - поза в крайнем положении ROM с активацией антагонистов.
те одни мышцы растягиваемые, (1 група мышц) ставятся в lengthened position уже из-за самой позиции
при этом другие мышцы  назовем из антагонисты (вторая группа мышц) оказываются в shortened position
contraction of antagonist  - обеспечивает невралогическое расслабление lengthened muscles, дополнительное механическое растяжение, стабильность сустава без которой тело будет "сопративляться" растяжению 1ой группы мышц.

Muscle Tightness. From weakness or from restriction?

MAT основана на предположении что если одна мышца tight то мышца которая переводит ее в long range должна быть weak.

На деле это подтверждается тестами weak muscle в его short range и long range tight muscle.
Обычно tremor при muscle testing считают результатом weakness.

Я хотелбы сделать два предположения.
1. Мuscle pain, tr points, protective spasm is result from restriction that not allow proper functioning. Ex. Pain in LevatorScap, Supraspinatus <= tight infraspinatus

2.Тремор может быть также когда restriction не позволяет продолжить движение
мышца начинает получать прерывистиые сигналы от мозга что на другом конце (антагонист) срабатывает стретч рефлекс. Происходит постоянный interference from antagonist stretch reflex это нарушает neurological input и не дает мышце дальше сокращаться

3. Weakness может быть следствием overuse from restriction from antagonist

Soft Tissue Manipulation and Pelvic Pain

Soft Tissue Manipulation and Pelvic Pain By Leon Chaitow, ND, DO

Bialowsky (2009) reports that the effects of soft-tissue-focused manual therapies includes:

  • Changes of blood levels of b-endorphin serotonin (Degenhardt et al 2007)
  • Endogenous cannabinoids (McPartland et al 2005)
  • Improved circulation and drainage
  • Decreased muscle spasm
  • Relaxation
  • Re-alignment of soft tissues
  • Breaking of adhesions
  • Increased range of motion
  • Removal of cellular exudates

Manual Therapy Approaches

The listing below of a selection of currently utilised manual therapy approaches that address fascial and myofascial dysfunction takes for granted that there would be simultaneous or subsequent focus on etiological features. Also, the seven modalities listed should not be regarded as definitive, as there are many other variations. However, those listed (and briefly discussed) represent a variety of validated biomechanical approaches, some of them novel and others well established.

  1. Connective tissue manipulation (ctm), as practised in relation to chronic pelvic pain, is a variation on the work of Dicke (1953) and Ebner (1975). Known in Germany where it was developed as "Bindegewebsmassage", it involves direct manual strokes, or forms of vigorous skin rolling, focused on connective tissue. Connective tissue is treated/mobilized until there is: improvement in mobility, decrease in sensitivity, and increase in warmth. Goals include: improved circulation; improved tissue integrity; decreased ischemia; reduced nocigenic chemicals in restricted connective tissue; decrease or elimination of visceral pain or dysfunction---possibly involving reflex effects; decrease in adverse neural tension on peripheral nerve branches.

  2. Fascial manipulation (FM). The key premise of FM is that fascia presents a specific organization and relationship with the underlying muscles. In particular, the fascia is seen as: coordinating element for motor units (grouped together in myofascial units); uniting element between unidirectional myofascial units (myofascial sequences); connecting element between body joints via myofascial expansions and retinacula (myofascial spirals). This model is supported by in-depth studies of fascial anatomy and physiology. Numerous dissections of unembalmed human cadavers have evidenced: muscular fibre insertions directly onto deep fascia (Stecco et al 2007); fibre distribution according to precise motor directions (Stecco et al 2008, 2009); myotendinous expansions that link adjacent segments (Stecco et al 2009). Extensive histological analysis of deep muscular fascia has also provided evidence for hypotheses concerning fascia's role in proprioception and tensional force distribution within the fascial system. (Stecco et al 2006, 2007)

  3. Muscle Energy Technique defined as "a form of osteopathic manipulative diagnosis and treatment in which the patient's muscles are actively used on request, from a precisely controlled position, in a specific direction, and against a distinctly executed physician counterforce". (ECOP 2009) Various studies have demonstrated that muscle energy techniques increase muscle extensibility (Ballantyne et al 2003) and range of motion (Burns & Wells 2006) including thoracic rotation. (Lenehan et al 2003)

  4. Myofascial release. King (2010) notes that myofascial release (MFR) is "a system of diagnosis and treatment first described by AT Still, and his early students, which involves continual palpatory feedback to achieve release of myofascial tissues."

    Direct MFR: A myofascial tissue restrictive barrier is engaged for the myofascial tissues and the tissue is loaded with constant force, until tissue release occurs.

    Indirect MFR: The dysfunctional tissues are guided along the path of least resistance, until free movement is achieved. (ECOP 2009)

  5. Scar tissue release. Kobesova et al (2007) suggest that scars may develop adhesive properties that compromise tissue tensioning, altering proprioceptive input, behaving in much the same way as active myofascial trigger points. It is suggested that faulty afferent input can result in disturbed efferent output leading to (for example): protective postural patterns, increased neurovascular activity, and pain syndromes. The term active scar is designated to describe the ongoing additional neural activity associated with adhesive scar formations.

  6. Straincounterstrain (SCS). Osteopathic system of diagnosis and indirect treatment, in which the patient's somatic dysfunction is treated, using passive positioning, resulting in spontaneous tissue release. (ECOP 2009) SCS technique involves shortening myofascial structures to reduce the nociceptive experience arising from firm palpation of a tenderpoint in the dysfunctional tissues.

  7. Trigger point deactivation methods. Montenegro et al (2009) insist that myofascial pain syndrome should always be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain. Systematic reviews have investigated the effectiveness of soft tissue manual intervention for inactivating trigger points (TrPs) (Fernandez-de-las-Penas et al 2005, Rickards 2006, Vernon & Schneider 2009). Anderson et al (2009) have identified the most common location of TrPs related to pelvic pain: pubococcygeus (90%), external oblique (80%), rectus abdominis (75%), hip adductors (19%), gluteus medius (18%).

Iliotibial Band Treatment

Iliotibial Band Treatment
Greate Video

The iliotibial band is a thickening of the fascia on the lateral side of the thigh. The IT band goes from the lateral side of the ilium down to the tibia. When it is tight it can cause pain on the lateral side of the knee, proximal to the knee joint.

Some therapists work directly on the IT band, but because it is a long tendon it does not stretch. A much better way of lengthening the IT band is to stretch the muscles that attach into this long tendon, which are the tensor fascia lata and the lateral fibers of the gluteus maximus.

This 22 minute video shows a treatment of a client with a knee replacement and a tight iliotibial band. Rather than focusing only on the problem area, the therapist does an assessment and treatment of all the related structures, using techniques from a number of different modalities. Techniques used include PNF Stretching, Reciprocal Inhibition, Active Isolated Stretching, and lengthening of muscles while using eccentric contraction.

The therapist, Mike Sweet, is a graduate of Healing Arts Institute. He has taken many advanced classes, including Orthopedic Massage with James Waslaski, and Resistance Release Training with Deane Juhan.

Ortho-Bionomy by Jim Berns



Ortho-Bionomy was developed by a British doctor, Arthur Lincoln Pauls, in his early years as an Osteopath. Before practicing Osteopathy Dr. Pauls was a Judo instructor. Every day in Judo he practiced the principle of following someone's movement and energy in the direction they were going, and if possible exaggerating that direction. Yet when Arthur went to Osteopathy school and learned all the medical and manipulative techniques at that time, he was disturbed to find that his teachers did not understand this principle.
When I was first introduced to Ortho-Bionomy, I had been doing massage therapy for a few years and was close to being burned out. I had studied (and was quite good at) a wide variety of therapies from deep-tissue to subtle energy work. But there was a part of me that was frustrated with the chronic reoccurrence of the same problems.Clients would come in with certain muscle contractions; I would stretch them out and then they would come back a week or two later with the same patterns. I was worn out by the struggle of fighting their body: trying to move it from where it was to where I thought it should be. Inside of me somewhere, I believed there must be an easier way to help people out of their pain.

Counterstrain for Gluteus Medius
Positional release: extension, abduction и если надо external rotation of the hip

 "Classic counterstrain requires you to hold this position for 90 seconds. (Yes, 90 seconds seems like forever, and some say you can shorten the time to 20 to 30 seconds by doing a brief, gentle contract-relax of the muscle involved or its antagonist.[???тут вот мне не совсем понятно надо подумать???]) When you are done, slowly let the leg back down. Don't let the patient help you; come out of the position with the patient as passive as possible. Retest with pressure on the tender point. When you are done, if the technique was correct, there will be a dramatic diminishing of the tenderness."

Proprioreseptive Input. Activation exercises

It is important to note that when performing concentric contractions alone, there may be a resultant unloading of the muscle spindle and decreased facilitation from the stretch reflexes as the muscle moves into the shortened range. Therefore, concentric contractions are ineffective and even detrimental when attempting to improve proprioceptive input to an inhibited muscle. [from MAT description]

CROSS FIBER FRICTION TECHNIQUES

http://www.realbodywork.com/articles/crossfiber.html [GoodWebResource] 


Developed for the treatment of soft tissue lesions by the British osteopath, Dr. James Cyriax [TOREAD]

Effect:  1) reduces crystalline roughness  tendon  sheaths 
             2)prevent or soften myofascial adhesions (2)

Developed for the treatment of soft tissue lesions by the British osteopath, Dr. James Cyriax, deep transverse friction effectively reduces fibrosis and encourages the formation of strong, pliable scar tissue at the site of healing injuries. This technique, also known as cross-fiber frictioning, reduces the crystalline roughness that forms between tendons and their sheaths that can result in painful tendonitis. It can also prevent or soften myofascial adhesions.
A deep, non-gliding, oil-less friction stroke, cross-fiber friction is administered with a braced finger or thumb moving across the grain of a muscle, tendon or ligament. The therapist's thumb and the client's skin move as one over the exact site of the lesion with sufficient sweep and duration to create a mechanical effect on the tissue treated. The stroke must be applied directly at the site of the lesion, at right angles to the fibers, and be broad enough to separate the fibers without bouncing over them. The treatment is painful, though always within tolerance, and should be initiated only with the informed consent of the client. It should never be applied during the initial inflammatory stage in an acute injury.
The first treatment should be conservative, lasting one or two minutes only, followed by a day of rest for the treated part. The treatment is resumed on alternate days until the pain abates and full usage is returned, usually within 3 to 10 sessions. Appropriate application of ice following treatment is recommended.



(1) Tendon Sheaths - tendon sheath (оболочка) is a layer of membrane around a tendon.[1] It permits the tendon to move.[2]
It has two layers: synovial sheaths; fibrous tendon sheath.


When tendons are damaged and inflamed, the condition is commonly known as tendinitis. If the problem is in the lining of the tendon's sheath, it's called tenosynovitis.

Rotator cuff tendinitis affects tennis players, swimmers, and anyone who frequently lifts their arms above the head and in a forward motion. This causes several shoulder tendons to rub together. Inflammation can set in and, if severe and untreated, may start to erode the tendons. Rotator cuff tendons hold the upper arm bone in the shoulder socket.

Causes

The most common causes of tendinitis are strain, overexertion, injury, repetitive movements, and sudden or unaccustomed movements.Tendinitis is most common in seniors and middle-aged people, since the tendons of older individuals lack the elasticity of younger people and have sustained hundreds of microscopic tears due to wear-and-tear (*) over the years.
There are certain diseases that can cause tendinitis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, Reiter's syndrome, lupus, and diabetes. Sometimes, people with gout have uric acid crystals that appear in the tendon sheath that cause friction and tearing. Very high blood cholesterol levels may also be linked with this condition. Quinolone antibiotics (e.g., ciprofloxacin*, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of tendon rupture.

Gluteus Medius Tendenitis

В моем случае даже в сидячем положении возникает натяжение в Gluteus Medius Posterior fibers =>
тут же напрягается QL тк Hip Bone goes to Abduction + Posterior-External Rotation.
Psoas тоже напрягается так как Hip Bone идет в Posterior Rotation Psoas work eccentrically чтобы удержать осанку прямое положение спины.
При этом атрофируется Pectineus тк при данном движении Hip Bone уменьшается длинна покоя те уменьшается расстояние между точками прикрепления Pectineus. В результате происходит immobilization in short range / on slack=> атрофия

После часа сидения возникла постоянная боль. По всей площади бедра отдает в пах.

Use of Hip External and Internal Rotators in Preventing Spine Related Injuries

http://www.donskovsc.com/articles/fiofthep.pdf


  External Rotators                      Internal Rotators
 Psoas Major                               Gluteus minimus
 Iliacus                                       Gluteus Medius (anterior)
 Sartorius                                    Tensor fasciae latae
 Gluteus Maximus                        Adductor longus
 Piriformis                                   Semimembranosus
 Quadratus femoris                       Semitendinosus
 Gemellus superior and inferior
 Obturator externus and internus
 Gluteus medius (posterior)


As mentioned in the above text, lumbo pelvic posture may be affected with tight and/or weak hip
rotators. If the athlete/client experiences tight hip external rotators, pelvic positioning may be altered.
This tightness may cause the pelvis to retrovert (posterior tilt) due to the insertion into sacrum, and the
thoracolumbar fascia, which may further affect the positioning of the lumbar spine. Due to this
posterior pelvic tilt, the lumbar spine takes on a flexed disposition, which is commonly referred to as“flat back”. This affects the curvature of the lumbar spine (flattens back and decreases lordotic
curvature of the lumbar spine). This postural distortion may place unwanted stress to the low back and
cause future trauma to the lumbar region. This may be the cause of bulging and/or herniated disks
(Regan, 2000).


In contrast, tight hip internal rotators may cause an anteverted pelvis (anteriorly tilted pelvis), which
increases the lordotic curvature of the spine placing stress on this area. Injuries may occur to athletes
via stress to the pars interarticularis and facet joints (Regan, 2000). Both of these compensatory factors
affect the integrity of the lumbar spine. Tight hip rotators may pose to be problematic to athletes in
sports such as hockey, tennis and auto racing. When the hip rotators are tight, the athlete many times
compensates with rotation of the lumbar spine. The lumbar spine is composed of five vertebrae which
increase is size superior to inferior. This area is built more for stability versus mobility as excessive
rotation to this area may cause injury during athletic performance. Please view Table 2.0 for a look at
the healthy spine.



Having strong, flexible hip rotators can allow for optimum performance and decrease the
strain/pressure placed on other regions of the body (lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and SI joint). This
will allow movement patterns to occur more efficiently increasing performance standards and ensuring
the integrity of the athletes’ health in regards to preventing sports related injury.

Adductor Strain. Iliopsoas Tendinitis. Research

ADDUCTOR STRAIN
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/307308-overview

Physical

The acute adductor strain commonly occurs at the musculotendinous junction.
Tenderness, swelling, and ecchymosis can be observed at the superior medial thigh. Sometimes, a defect in the muscle can be palpated.
Pain is noted with resisted adduction and full passive abduction of the hip.
A pure hip adductor strain can be distinguished from combination injuries involving the hip flexors (ie, iliopsoas, rectus femoris) by having the patient lie in the supine position. If more discomfort is reproduced with resistive adduction when the knee and hip are extended than if the hip and knee are flexed, a pure hip adductor strain can be assumed.
Physical findings can help distinguish adductor strains from other causes of groin pain such as the following:
  • Iliopsoas strain - Hip flexion against resistance is painful. Tenderness is difficult to localize because the insertion of the iliopsoas is deep.
  • Osteitis pubis - Tenderness of the symphysis pubis and possible loss of full rotation of one or both hip joints are noted.
  • Conjoined tendon lesions (ie, sportsman's hernia) - Exquisite tenderness upon palpation at the inguinal canal. Having the patient cough reproduces pain.
  • Obturator neuropathy - Adductor muscle weakness, muscle spasm, and paresthesia over the medial aspect of the distal thigh may be present. Loss of adductor tendon reflex with preservation of other muscle stretch reflexes often is observed. A positive Howship-Romberg sign (medial knee pain induced by forced hip abduction, extension, and internal rotation) sometimes is observed.



ILIOPSOAS TENDINITIS
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/90993-overview

Physical

Physical examination should focus on complete examination of the abdomen, hip, and groin. In females, a complete pelvic examination also should be considered.
  • Inspection
    • The hip may be held in slight flexion and external rotation to ease tension on the musculotendinous unit.
    • Gait may demonstrate a shortened stride length on the affected side and increased knee flexion in the heel strike and midstance phases.
  • Palpation
    • An anterior pelvic tilt may be appreciated due to subsequent tightening of the iliopsoas muscle.//при posterior pelvic tilt мы полагаем weak-tender iliacus ????? 
    • Direct deep palpation to the area of the femoral triangle, which is bordered superiorly by the ilioinguinal ligament, medially by the adductor longus muscle, and laterally by the sartorius muscle, results in direct palpation of the iliopsoas musculotendinous junction.
    • Tenderness over the iliopsoas tendon's insertion may be noted by palpating the lesser trochanter under the gluteal fold with the patient lying in a prone position.
  • Functional testing
    • Functional testing includes resisted hip flexion at 15° with palpation of the psoas muscle below the lateral half of the inguinal ligament.
    • The patient also may be asked to sit with knees extended and subsequent elevation of the heel on the affected side. Pain caused by this maneuver (a positive Ludloff sign) is consistent with an iliopsoas tendinitis because the iliopsoas is the sole hip flexor activated in this position.
    • The snapping(щелчок) hip sign or extension test also may be performed. Start with the affected hip in a flexed, abducted, and externally rotated position ????(knee is flexed for ease of testing), and passively move the hip into extension.???? This may result in an audible snap or palpable impulse over the inguinal region. Pain associated with this maneuver is highly suggestive of iliopsoas tendinitis or bursitis.

-----------------------------
SNAPPING HIP SINDROME -snapping (щелчок) sensation when hip flexed or extended.

Extra-articular

  • Lateral extra articular
The more common lateral extra articular type of snapping hip syndrome occurs when the iliotibial bandtensor fascia lata, or gluteus medius tendon slides back and forth across thegreater trochanter. This normal action becomes a snapping hip syndrome when one of these connective tissue bands thickens and catches with motion. The underlying bursa may also become inflamed, causing a painful external snapping hip syndrome.
  • Medial extra-articular
Less commonly, the iliopsoas tendon catches on the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS), the lesser trochanter, or the iliopectineal ridge during hip extension, as the tendon moves from an anterior lateral (front, side) to a posterior medial (back, middle) position. With overuse, the resultant friction may eventually cause painful symptoms, resulting in muscle trauma, bursitis, or inflammation in the area.


WHAT Test for Snapping Hip Syndrom ?


Pectineus.  By its external border with the psoas. // поэтому при его дисфункции будет страдать и psoas 

It is one of the muscles primarily responsible for hip flexion. It also adducts and medially(internaly) rotates the thigh. The pectineus muscle is the most anterior adductor of the hip.

Conclution: Pectineus выполняет Hip Flexion+Adduction+Internal Rot. Assist Psoas (one kinetic chain)
Делает приведение Hip &  приведение Hip Bone. WHY?  <={ origin from pubis insertion femur=>
приводит Femur (internal rotation). Femur в отведеном положении (slight external rotation) => Iliasus растягивается => тянет Hip Bone в Adduction (отведение) }

Pectineus Weak-Long => Femur Ext Rotation => Iliapsoas Stress ->Tightness  => Hip Bone Abduction (раскрытие) => SIAI(anterior inferior)-Femur Impingement Syndrom in Hip Flexion (Knee Flexed) Adduction Internal Rotation
