Hip and Groin Pain: Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Issues
نویسنده
چکیده
Groin and hip injuries are common in sport. The diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of these injuries has long been identified as a complex and challenging area for all clinicians involved in the management of such injuries. While our knowledge increases steadily the challenge still remains for appropriate and successful treatment strategies. Rehabilitation has been identified as an important factor in the management of hip and groin pain. Rehabilitation can occur prior to and after surgery or can be a stand alone treatment for long standing or acute pain. Due to the number and complexity of injuries in the hip and groin area, the physiotherapist must have a strong anatomic and biomechanical knowledge base in order to identify possible aggravating structures or movement abnormalities during the assessment process. Often there is not one single cause for the symptoms but multiple causes. If rehabilitation is appropriate the physiotherapist must put in place a progressively graded rehabilitation programme appropriate to a given sport. There are still gaps in the literature on the provision of the specifics of successful rehabilitation. Therefore the physiotherapist must use sound principles of healing, exercise physiology, manual therapy and rehabilitation, in addition to knowledge of specific stresses and strains that the pelvic area is exposed to within a given sport, in order to provide a successful outcome for the athlete.

متن کاملSoft tissue balance of the hip.
Release of static and dynamic contractures around the hip provides significant immediate benefits for the patient and accelerates postoperative rehabilitation. Knee pain is decreased, groin pain is eliminated, range of motion of the hip is increased, and functional leg-length difference is reduced. This article emphasizes the importance of techniques used to ensure soft tissue balance.
