The control group (13 patients) received a conventional rehabilitation protocol, while the intervention group (15 patients) received focused stretching exercises of the gluteus medius muscle in addition to the conventional rehabilitation protocol. Patients had preoperative and postoperative surface ...
The joint capsule was then incised while shifting the gluteus medius muscle towards the proximal section. Intraoperatively, a large number of rice-sized free bodies were observed emerging from the incised joint capsule, which had been thoroughly cleaned out, and some free bone fragments were ...

The present study only revealed that the GM muscle produced higher activity than the VMO and VL Conclusion Patellar taping does not change knee and hip muscle activity during proprioceptive exercises in women with patellofemoral pain syndrome. These results have implications for the use of patellar ...
Some patients believed that specific hip exercises addressing the soft tissues affected during surgery were needed to improve hip function, mobility, muscle strength and prevent bodily imbalances. The following quotations illustrate patients’ perception of these effects of PRE: ...
Muscle force was recovered at a mean 3.25 months (0.5–6). Eight patients were very satisfied, one satisfied and one moderately satisfied. Conclusion This technique is much less heavy than implant replacement; postoperative course is shorter than for open tenotomy and the technique is simpler ...
One type of known exercise apparatus specifically directed to exercises for the muscle/skeletal groups in the hip regions and incorporating a leg supporting device includes a base support and an exercise bar pivotably coupled to the base support. A slide is friction-mounted to the bar, and inclu...
