I bought a foam roller but after reading this blog I am reluctant to start using it. I do not think that we see many tight hip flexors clinically, but more so an underactive Iliopsoas that is causing an overactive Rectus Femoris/Tensor Fascia Lata/Adductor Longus to name but a few. Rapid Destructive Arthropathy of the Knee in Parkinson's Disease with Pisa Syndrome: A Case of Knee-Spine Syndrome. I really felt like rollers and massage helps me ramp up my milage a bit faster, but it is hard to be 100% certain about this. From previous comments made I have decided not to reference my comments (apart from Fairclough) to avoid the threat of being under the spell of being steered by the research world as opposed to being guided by it (no matter the quality of the research I have to be able to effectively appraise the literature to decide if the research I read is fair, well constructed, unbiased and robust enough such that I can decide that the result is one which will alter my reasoning process and ulitmately my practice in conjunction with my own anecdotal evidence; but it is too easy to just poo-poo the research world and just quote anecdotal evidence as this is one of the weakest forms of evidence, as well as frankly being a bit arrogant if you solely rely on it. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 24(1): 26-34. I must disagree with you with regards to orthotics, please remember that femoral/tibial adduction and internal rotation (dynamic knee valgus) is coupled with talus adduction and inversion/calcaneal eversion and sometimes navicular drop. If everyone solely quoted anecdotal evidence, people could quote any amount of junk to come to their decisions). Because of the internal rotation and adduction of the knee, the knee joint is put in a stressful position that it cannot handle the torsional and lateral forces well. As frequently theirs is serving to exacerbate problems as its so unfunctional that it has no carry over, that its not glute med thats solely the issue and they are performing it incorrectly and hence using an already tight rectus femoris. A third condition involving contralateral pelvic drop and trunk lean was assessed to examine exaggerated changes in centre of mass. Gait & posture 79: 217-223. The pathophysiology advocated by both of these studies is one of compression of a highly innervated and vascular area of fat (previously presumed to be bursa), which is inflammatory in nature and as such will respond very well to an ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection if symptoms are preventing adequate rehabilitation. Your foot should not lower enough to touch the groundbe sure to control the movement with a slow, steady drop. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. For those of you that are fans of the dreaded foam roller, please roll local to the tensor fascia lata (roughly near your pocket on a pair of trousers), but remember that muscles and tendons arent amazed by compression either, and that you run the risk of causing gluteus medius tendinopathy as a result [4]. Ipsilateral and contralateral foot pronation affect lower limb and trunk biomechanics of individuals with knee osteoarthritis during gait. Rear foot kinematics when wearing lateral wedge insoles and foot alignment influence the effect of knee adduction moment for medial knee osteoarthritis. There is a simple test you can do right now to see if you have any noticeable trace of this postural issue. In my experience, Ive seen far too many athletes who have completed a course of treatment and rehab for ITBS and returned to running pain free, only to be struck down by ITBS again as they start to build their volume again using the same old dysfunctional running gait. This exercise strengthens the gluteus medius muscle located in the side of your hips and buttocks. I would like to say that your comment about research being conducted by MSc or PhD candidates is naive and largely inaccurate. Accessibility The questions I asked myself were why if two patients presented with very similar stance phase mechanics would one have lateral knee pain and the other pain under or around the patella? FREE UK delivery on orders from 40 Trial the insoles - money back if you're not happy, Take them for a trial. As for the research, any time you read the literature it should be read with a critical mind, not treated as gospel. The symptoms described (and felt by myself) are very neural in nature (burning almost) and as for most neural pain, the inhibition response of the body makes it nearly impossible to continue runningpatients with PFPS can usually run through the pain, not that I would ever condone that though!! Now I am several olympic, half and full Ironman races further, still pain free. The Relationship between Knee Adduction Moment and Knee Osteoarthritis Symptoms according to Static Alignment and Pelvic Drop. It effectively decompresses the highly innervated area that Fairclough refers to. 2, 22 Thus, to have a 90% chance of detecting an effect that accounted for 30% of the variance between the groups for the squat tasks at an a priori alpha level of .05, 13 participants per group . Its only an anecdotal coaching observation, but Im increasingly convinced that increasing running cadence encourages increased Hamstring engagement to achieve the improved swing mechanics required to achieve the higher cadence rate. Cambered surfaces could obviously cause a valgus effect in one knee whilst a Varus effect in the other but in my experience it is generally the knee that is on the lower side of the camber that is affected as the angle of the road forces the knee laterally. I am very interested to hear both your clinical and scientific rationale for this. Disappointing as you appear to have a very good mechanical/biomechanical knowledge. Lee SW, Kim SY. Why it took so many replies to establish this.. All is all, a very good article Brad, backed up with solid scientific evidence; something that our profession governs from us, and how we should endeavour to practice with the best available evidence and knowledge. J Phys Ther Sci. Rollering the ITB itself is just pointless, painful and frankly serves no purpose it does not stretch the ITB (it itself does not get tight) and one simply cannot release it. In my treatment sessions, involving extensive muscle testing, I often find the hip flexor weakness/imbalance you speak of where the TFL is compensatory. It is now 4 weeks since my last run and I have taken a 2 week course of COX-2 NSAIDS. I think youre right about contralateral pelvic drop also playing a significant role. more info on iliopsoas function for this would be great. If it can loosen my up to help train harder, then it could be a good thing. A high-quality prospective study by Noehren and colleagues [6] linked this pattern to patients with ITB syndrome symptoms. Ive lost track of the number of running and triathlon clients that I see complaining of ITB who have wasted both time and discomfort rolling up and down on a variety of foam roller torture devices to alleviate their ITB issues. Thanks for taking the time to put this together BradI fully agree with the sentiment of not rolling the ITB for this type of condition, but I would suggest that manual treatments are far more effective than acupuncture alone and I steer well clear of cortizone for these conditions, even if acutely inflamed. doi:10.1590/bjpt-rbf.2014.0089, Lavine R. Iliotibial band friction syndrome. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! Thank you for your comments; its great to exchange ideas and its obviously a topic youre passionate about. Stand in front of a mirror and then balance on one leg. The lateral shift of the trunk to the right, during right sided weight bearing is a common compensation we see. Hi, I have come to this debate really late but felt it important to say that I agree with Paul Savage. Designed by leading podiatrists to reduce your risk of injury, the unique design features support your foot throughout training. Now Im strenghning my glutes ,one leg drps etc.I realize that I had very weak muscles in that area cause I never had this soreness ever. I have bucket loads that I could comment on about what you have presented (with reference to your references etc), but I will keep my critique (and frustrations!) Ultimately poor iliopsoas force production (in a strong muscle) comes from poor pelvic control as the poor iliopsoas has no solid anchor to pull against to then pull on the femur and independently flex the hip joint. eCollection 2021. Static friction is basically the friction force required to stop two bodies moving relative to one another (sadly the physics world decided not to refer to it as stiction). Issues in your running form are manifestations of muscle strength, mobility restrictions, and stability that you have. Runners often focus too much on foot strike, foot pronation and other clearly visible aspects of running. Increased unilateral foot pronation causes biomechanical changes on both lower limbs that are associated with the occurrence of injuries. Foam rolling and deep massage probably help restore the slide and glide movements of the muscle and connective tissue. Ellis I am still struggling to understand quite why you felt it necessary to raise the importance of swing mechanics within this blog in such a fashion, as I felt (and it seems from other readers comments) that I had done an adequate job of stressing this within the main body of text. [3] Lewis, C et al (2007). You mentioned addressing an underactive and miss-firing iliopsoas group. The net external KAM was calculated using inverse dynamics. I feel it is marketing and socialisation that has drawn in the therapy and fitness world to using it in this way. Id argue that ITB syndrome is more related to compression than friction, as was previously believed [1]. Noehren, B., et al. Nie Y, Wang H, Xu B, Zhou Z, Shen B, Pei F. Biomed Res Int. The lack of articulation during exercise makes sense as does the muscle imbalance. anterior and posterior (flexion and extension)). Pelvic drop gait increased KAM peak and impulse. Claire again I agree with your sentiments with regards to Gluteus Medius, the clam simply is not an exercise for this muscle. It is worth it if the problem is so bad like mine that even walking a few km could be a problem. Dan DeCook. This is usually rectified by a deep tissue demonstration of the importance of the TFL in their ITB suffering before beginning work to rectify the muscular & / or skeletal imbalances that have contributed to it.
