Definition: Iliopsoas tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon or area surrounding the tendon. Major causes of iliopsoas tendinitis are acute trauma and overuse resulting from repetitive hip flexion. Introduction: This painful hip condition can affect athletes who participate in sports like cycling, running, swimming, hockey and baseball. Spin classes, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts…
INTRODUCTION The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves that emanate from the brain. It transmits information to or from the surface of the brain to tissues and organs elsewhere in the body. The name “vagus” comes from the Latin term for “wandering.” This is because the…
What is an Ankle Sprain? An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments surrounding the ankle joint are stretched or torn. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones and provide stability to the joint. Ankle sprains often happen during activities that involve sudden changes in direction, twisting, or landing…
Anatomy related to Potts fracture Mechanism of injury of Potts fracture Clinical Presentation of Potts fracture Classification of Pott’s Fracture: Pott’s fracture is according to the number of malleoli involved, the mechanism of injury, joint stability, or the level of the fracture. 3 main classifications are: (1) Henderson’s Classification This is the easy classification depending…
INTRODUCTION : The glossopharyngeal nerve, known as the ninth cranial nerve (CN IX), is a mixed nerve that carries afferent sensory and efferent motor information. It exits the brainstem out from the sides of the upper medulla, just anterior (closer to the nose) to the vagus nerve. Sensory: Innervates the oropharynx, carotid body and sinus,…
Definition: Concussion is a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain. It is the result of an injury caused by a biomechanical force i.e., a direct blow to the head, neck, or face or from a blow to another part of the body with a mechanical force transmitted to the head. The individual may not experience…
The basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency (<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low-frequency stimulation. To produce low-frequency effects at sufficient intensity and at sufficient depth, patients can experience considerable discomfort in the superficial…
Introduction The vestibulocochlear nerve (auditory vestibular nerve), known as the eighth cranial nerve, transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain. The vestibulocochlear nerve is the eighth paired cranial nerve. It is comprised of two parts – vestibular fibres and cochlear fibres. Both have a purely sensory function. Anatomy The…

INTRODUCTION : The abducens nerve (or abducent nerve) is the sixth cranial nerve (CNVI), in humans body that controls the movement of the lateral rectus muscle, responsible for outward gaze. It is a somatic efferent nerve. ANATOMY OF ABDUCENS NERVE : The abducens nerve arises from the abducens nucleus in the pons of the brainstem….
