Iliotibial band syndrome is one of the leading causes of lateral knee pain in runners. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia composing the tendon of the tensor fasciae latae muscle. It is located on the lateral aspect of the knee, extending from the outside of the pelvis, over the hip and knee, and inserting just below the knee.
Chronic limb threatening ischemia ( CLTI ), also known as critical limb ischemia ( CLI ), is an advanced stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is defined as ischemic rest pain, arterial insufficiency ulcers, and gangrene. The latter two conditions are jointly referred to as tissue loss, reflecting the development of surface damage to the ...
Chronic: Physical therapy, surgery [1] Compartment syndrome is a condition in which increased pressure within one of the body's anatomical compartments results in insufficient blood supply to tissue within that space. [6] [7] [8] There are two main types: acute and chronic. [6] Compartments of the leg or arm are most commonly involved.
Frequency. 1 in 1,000,000. Stiff-person syndrome ( SPS ), also known as stiff-man syndrome, [ 1] is a rare neurological disorder of unclear cause characterized by progressive muscular rigidity and stiffness. The stiffness primarily affects the truncal muscles and is characterised by spasms, resulting in postural deformities.
Genu varum (also called bow-leggedness, bandiness, bandy-leg, and tibia vara) is a varus deformity marked by (outward) bowing at the knee, which means that the lower leg is angled inward ( medially) in relation to the thigh 's axis, giving the limb overall the appearance of an archer's bow. Usually medial angulation of both lower limb bones ...
Straight leg raise – Maneuver used to assess for hamstring tightness. The straight leg raise has been found to be positive in only 10% of patients with spondylolisthesis. [22] Muscle strength exercises – Lower abdominal, gluteal, and lumbar extensors should be assessed for weakness. Weakness in these muscles can increase lordosis and ...
Specialty. Vascular surgery. May–Thurner syndrome ( MTS ), also known as the iliac vein compression syndrome, [1] is a condition in which compression of the common venous outflow tract of the left lower extremity may cause discomfort, swelling, pain or iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis . Specifically, the problem is due to left common iliac ...
Acute limb ischaemia. Acute limb ischaemia ( ALI) occurs when there is a sudden lack of blood flow to a limb, [ 1] within 14 days of symptoms onset. [ 2] It is different from another condition which is more chronic (more than 14 days) [ 3] called critical limb ischemia (CLD). CLD is the end stage of peripheral vascular disease where there is ...
