Quadricepsplasty for knee stiffness after femoral lengthening in congenital short femur.
We review the results of a modified quadricepsplasty in five children who developed stiffness of the knee after femoral lengthening for congenital short femur using an Ilizarov external fixator which spanned the knee. All had a full range of movement of the knee before lengthening was undertaken. Unifocal lengthening was carried out in the distal metaphysiodiaphyseal region of the distal femur ...
متن کاملIliotibial band syndrome: a common source of knee pain.
Iliotibial band syndrome is a common knee injury. The most common symptom is lateral knee pain caused by inflammation of the distal portion of the iliotibial band. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia that crosses the hip joint and extends distally to insert on the patella, tibia, and biceps femoris tendon. In some athletes, repetitive flexion and extension of the knee causes the dista...
متن کاملHigh-intensity knee extensor training restores skeletal muscle function in COPD patients.
Improving reduced skeletal muscle function is important for optimising exercise tolerance and quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. By applying high-intensity training to a small muscle group, we hypothesised a normalisation of muscle function. Seven patients with COPD performed 6 weeks (3 days·week(-1)) of high-intensity interval aerobic knee extensor exerci...
متن کاملIliotibial Band Anatomy And Biomechanics, Implications For The Treatment Of Iliotibial Band Syndrome
METHODS: Gross anatomical studies of 20 embalmed cadavers that examined origins, insertions and significant attachments of the ITB were performed. The strain generated in the ITB by three typical stretching manoeuvres (Obers test: OBER, Hip flexion, adduction and external loading: HIP, Straight leg raise: SLR) was measured in 5 unembalmed cadavers using foil-type strain gauges. An ultrasound as...
