Hip

Gluteal tendinopathy is a prevalent and impactful condition. For many decades clinical practice has been guided by ‘myths’ that developed around clinical beliefs. It’s time to examine these myths and engage with the substantial evidence base.

This masterclass aims to: (i) engage with the evidence to refute the most common myths associated with gluteal tendinopathy and trochanteric pain, and (ii) provide clinicians with guidance around contemporary, evidence-based clinical practice.

To comment on and explore (1) the prevalence of clinical knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA); (2) the association between pain or function and clinical knee or hip OA; (3) the association between injury or surgery and clinical knee or hip OA.

There is a low prevalence of a clinical knee or hip OA in the active professional male footballer. Pain may be a valid symptom to predict or monitor knee or hip OA. Validated assessment tools should be utilised to identify a negative effect on function. The odds of developing clinical OA in the knee with the number of injuries or surgeries. The hip presents with earlier clinical signs of OA compared to the knee.

A detailed description of the various different tests is given, with photographs for each test procedure. Diagnostic interpretation of each test requires careful consideration, with special attention to specific variables such as test performance and patient population.

History and physical examination can be useful to classify young active individuals with non-arthritic intra-articular hip pathology as having impingement or instability.

However, the specific type of deformity leading to symptoms may not be apparent from this evaluation. Several radiological indexes have been described in the literature for individuals with non-arthritic hip pathology.

This course outlines the clinical indications, methods, and interpretation of hip radiological images as it relates to physical examination findings for those with non-arthritic hip pathology.

This illustrated on-line course covers the assessment, interpretation and treatment of the following short/tight muscles:

• rectus femoris and iliopsoas

This illustrated on-line course covers the assessment, interpretation and treatment of the following short/tight muscles:

• Hamstrings:

• Lower and upper hamstrings

• Tensor fascial lata

This illustrated Dry Needling online course covers the clinical relevance of trigger points in syndromes related to the hip.

Illustration and needling instructions of Dry Needling techniques for the following hip muscles are provided:

• Dry needling of the hip muscle

• Semimembranosus and semitendinosis

• Sartorius

Their anatomy, function, innervation and contra-indications for Dry Needling are also included.

Until recently, the hip joint was not thought to be a significant cause of problems in the athletic population. Now, thanks to MRI, and hip arthroscopy we have been able to learn more about some of the common underlying causes of groin pain. These will be covered in part one and two of this course.

Part 3 covers the clinical assessment and treatment of labral tears, ligamentum teres tears, synovitis, chondropathy, surgical management, os acetabulare and lateral hip pain.

This on-line course includes ample photos of exercises for hip rehabilitation.

How should you treat elite athletes who present to you with complex pathology (muscle dysfunction, strength and flexibility components and underlying joint dysfunction) and a prolonged history of unsatisfactory previous treatment?

This on-line course provides effective solutions for the rapid resolution of chronic, complex groin and thigh pain involving local myofascial injury with associated joint dysfunction.

The purpose of this course is to introduce alternative treatment approach for piriformis syndrome using a hip muscle strengthening programme with movement re-education. Interventions for piriformis syndrome typically consist of stretching, dry needling and/or soft tissue massage to the piriformis muscle.

However, this case study highlights an alternative view of the pathomechanics of piriformis syndrome and proposes an effective different treatment approach.
