OBJECTIVES Low back pain is common, costly, and disabling for active duty military personnel and veterans. The evidence is unclear on which management approaches are most effective. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of lumbar extensor high-intensity progressive resistance exercise (HIPRE) training versus control on improving lumbar extension muscular strength and core mu...

Leg pain from lumbar disc herniation is a common presentation. However, certain muscular and peripheral nerve variants may present similarly and represent an unrecognized etiology of femoral nerve dysfunction. Such cases might affect the outcome of specific treatment regimes. Therefore, recognition of these variations in anatomy may be useful to the clinician when treating the patient with medi...

OBJECTIVE To detail the presentation of two elite female soccer players with right thigh pain that occurred during training. This article will outline the investigation, diagnosis and management of their cases. CLINICAL FEATURES The patients presented with anterior thigh pain following injuries incurred during training camp. Both were diagnosed with acute muscular strain and associated muscul...

Background. Pelvic floor (PF) hypertonic disorders are a group of conditions that present with muscular hypertonia or spasticity, resulting in a diminished capacity to isolate, contract, and relax the PF. Their presentation includes voiding and sexual dysfunctions, pelvic pain, and constipation. Various factors are associated, such as complicated vaginal birth, muscular injury, scar tissue form...

The importance of the muscular factor, which is traditionally considered in myofascial pain syndrome (MFPS), development and maintenance musculoskeletal (MSP) actively discussed. hypothesis leading role trigger points (MTPs) muscle remains debatable.

Introduction Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) causes pain that may lead to posture and movement modifications and arouses muscular imbalance with reduced range of motion in the affected joints. Clinical assessment of the gait is difficult in children, because of the complexity and rapidity of movement. In children with JIA, the gait pattern is further complicated by subtle compensatory gait ...

Pain caused by temporomandibular disorders originates from either muscular or articular conditions, or both. Distinguishing the precise source of the pain is a significant diagnostic challenge to clinicians, and effective management hinges on establishing a correct diagnosis. This paper examines terminology and regional anatomy as it pertains to functional and dysfunctional states of the tempor...
