The Effect Of Sesamoid Mobilization And Flexor Hallucis Strengthening On Reducing Pain And Improving Function In The Great Toe, Jennifer Shamus
The Effect Of Sesamoid Mobilization And Flexor Hallucis Strengthening On Reducing Pain And Improving Function In The Great Toe, Jennifer Shamus
Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of standard physical therapy when combined with sesamoid mobilization, flexor hallucis strengthening and gait training for reducing pain and increasing function in the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) in persons with functional hallux limitus. Sprains of the first MPJ are common in athletics. Push off, forward drive and running can be significantly impaired after this injury. More importantly, MPJ sprains can also result in persistent pain and loss of range of motion. Given the debilitating nature of this injury, it is important to determine the most effective treatment for hallux limitus. …
Non-Predictability Of Abdominal Strength And Function With Trunk Manual Muscle Testing In Patients With Low Back Pain, Eric C. Shamus
Non-Predictability Of Abdominal Strength And Function With Trunk Manual Muscle Testing In Patients With Low Back Pain, Eric C. Shamus
Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios
The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of the Clarkson and Gilewich manual muscle test of trunk flexion and rotation to predict abdominal muscle strength and function in patients with low back pain. In examining movement and function, physical therapists routinely test muscle strength.
The participants consisted of thirty-one adults with complaints of low back pain. For each subject, five tests were conducted. A manual muscle test of trunk flexion and rotation, dynamometer measurement of trunk flexion strength, and lumbar stabilization during a partial curl up and single leg slide were performed. Pearson product correlational statistics were …
