Clinical SeminarSpecificity in Assessment and Management of Hip Abductor Muscle DysfunctionAlison Grimaldi, University of Queensland, AustraliaThe hip abductor muscle synergy may not be most effectively assessed or managed as a single entity in those with musculoskeletal dysfunction. This seminar will provide ideas for improving the specificity of our assessment and exercise approaches with the aim of optimising treatment outcomes in both the short and long term. Assessment techniques will cover functional movement patterns, muscle tests and real time ultrasound evaluation. Exercise approaches discussed will include real time ultrasound retraining and progressions to weightbearing – movement retraining, strengthening, and perturbation training. |
