contralateral pelvic drop

Trendelenburg sign is a physical examination finding seen when assessing for any dysfunction of the hip. Osteoarthritis Cartilage. Illustrated by Levent Efe. Why do some runners overuse rectus femoris? J Athl Train 46(2): 142-149. I would be interested in studies about that. My glutes were firing well and were strong, my rec fem was very flexible, ankle/calf range was good, hamstrings within normal limits, but the glaring deficiency was in my hip flexor strength. Great piece Brad! Work to do! Youve got to give the body time to adapt to an increase in run volume and a lot of runners/triathletes dont get this bit right. If it can loosen my up to help train harder, then it could be a good thing. Wow that was strange. Ive tried quite a few things, almost all of the advice didnt help much for me but I seem to be able to manage the problem now. And possible using cupping could allow break up of adhesions and allow ground substance between the facial layers to improve gliding. The lateral shift of the trunk to the right, during right sided weight bearing is a common compensation we see. Arch Rehabil Res Clin Transl. Pohl MB, Kendall KD, Patel C, Wiley JP, Emery C, Ferber R. J Athl Train. This will result in the insertion of the Iliotibial Band moves AWAY from the origin. Any changes to form without addressing the root cause can result in injuries. I would watch gait patterns intently from heel strike to toe off one side then shift my attention to the next sides heel strike to toe off.back and forth like watching tennisand often with ITBS, unlike PFPS, I would get someone looking great from heel strike to toe off, but they would still have pain (not as bad, but still enough to not be able to train properly). A hardened/thickened ITB seems to remain hardened/thickened when slackened. This then guides their rehab their biomechanics can be great, strength great but endurance lacking just film them essentially it highlights that all is ok but they lacking endurance fitness which puts them at risk of re-injury (especially good for ACL reconstruction athletes). Am J Sports Med 44(2): 355-361. Accessibility eCollection 2019 Dec. D'Souza N, Charlton J, Grayson J, Kobayashi S, Hutchison L, Hunt M, Simic M. Osteoarthritis Cartilage. Thanks everyone for contributing to an enjoyable debate! Use left/right arrows to navigate the slideshow or swipe left/right if using a mobile device. Experimentally reduced hip-abductor muscle strength and frontal-plane biomechanics during walking. Pelvic Drop Exercise to Improve Hip Strength. You mentioned addressing an underactive and miss-firing iliopsoas group. Anyone can come up with a hypothesis like the person who once though that the world was flat, or who thought you could a) stretch the ITB itself or b) release it with a foam roller. When one runs (whether stance or swing phase), the limb is moving in a plane of movement which is (relatively speaking) perpendicular to this plane/vector of compression strain (i.e. (2012). Ive done rehab rollingu name it. anterior and posterior (flexion and extension)). Am J Sports Med: 363546518793657. Second, contralateral pelvic drop without concomitant ipsilateral trunk lean results in a medial shift of the line of gravity, which increases the knee adductor moment. Ive tried icing after a run that was a little painful, just incase it helps, and doing a good massage session after a run that was a little tight. I have found foam rollering to be one of the most valuable tools for treating ITBFS. The point that I would like all readers to go away with is that it is muscle imbalance, and not a tight IT band that causes this common problem and that it is rehabilitation (activation/strengthening) and not compression/stretching that will cure your symptoms. I have never believed in the foam roller as the theory was so poor (the scientific research even worse). Stand in front of a mirror and then balance on one leg. The body is trying to accommodate. Excessive elbow flare can lead to bad running habits such as criss-crossed elbows as the elbows move in front of the body. Repeat the pelvic drop 10 to 15 times. Effect of position and alteration in synergist force contribution on hip forces when performing hip strengthening exercises. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies Assessment of pelvic obliquity prior to treatment may allow those with marked pelvic drop to be targeted for hip muscle strengthening. How refreshing to read this biomechanical analysis of ITB syndr. Prospective study of the biomechanical factors associated with iliotibial band syndrome. im a sufferer from ITB pain. Even being attached to the femur proximal to the epicondyle, it seems plausible that the length of the band running from that attachment to Gerdys tubercle would still be permitted anterior-posterior movement, so I dont think this should be ruled out as a possible cause. Lower down, around the knee region, it inserts into gerdys tubercle on the lateral aspect of the tibia, passing over the lateral femoral condyle. 2015;19(3):167176. Brad, I have only just discovered this fascinating debate. Forming untested anecdotal hypotheses is not best practice and can be dangerous in certain scenarios; its not scientific, its bad practice and is indicative of idleness. Your second point suggested that Iliotibial Band Syndrome is one of friction. Well done on your comments back to everyone Brad. Weakness in the hip muscles can cause a variety of problems in the body. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Our website is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The increased pelvic drop is viewed from the frontal view during midstance. Pelvic drop is defined as a unilateral drop in height of the pelvis in the frontal plane. The influence of hip abductor weakness on frontal plane motion of the trunk and pelvis in patients with cerebral palsy. doi:10.1007/s12178-010-9061-8, Cruz AC, Fonseca ST, Arajo VL, et al.

"Knee angular impulse as a predictor of patellofemoral pain in runners." Elevated hip adduction angles and abduction moments in the gait of adolescents with recurrent patellar dislocation. But if anyone has any new insights or opinions on the ITB or anything else related, please keep posting. I guess it is very difficult to lengthen your ITB this way. Yes it does . Be aware that changes in your running form have to be implemented with expert guidance. It becomes most obvious when you see the 'shoulder drop' it creates. Is there a pathological Gait Associated with Common Soft Tissue Running Injuries? Bramah, C., Preece, S., Gill, N., Herrington, L. (2018). Miller et al (2007) in Gait & Posture analysed the swing phase of gait in runners to fatigue. 1, 16, 17 Takacs and Hunt . Keeping this muscle strong can also help prevent hip, knee, or ankle pain. In the frontal plane, some studies have reported increased hip adduction 12303945-47 and others have not. 1. In my experience, Ive seen far too many athletes who have completed a course of treatment and rehab for ITBS and returned to running pain free, only to be struck down by ITBS again as they start to build their volume again using the same old dysfunctional running gait. IT band syndrome, Achilles tendonitis, patellofemoral pain and even shin splints may be connected to or made worse by contralateral pelvic drop. Ipsilateral and contralateral foot pronation affect lower limb and trunk biomechanics of individuals with knee osteoarthritis during gait. Research does not give us all the answers, but equally, we need to move on from the Guru driven approaches that previously drove our profession and use research to inform our clinical practice. New research suggests that contralateral pelvic drop may have a significant influence on the frequency of many common running injuries. Stand sideways on the step and hang one leg off the step. There is information that suggests contralateral pelvic drop may be reduced or eliminated by selectively strengthening muscles that support the hips while running. Wondering what your thoughts are on this little theory on the impact of VL; Over activity within an adducted hip, knee valgus on stance phase. Its all of them. An excellent and highly relevant article Brad. Also, do you prescribe interval running to allow the patient time to ultimately improve the endurance in their improved running technique? Cemented vs Cementless Hip Implant Survivorship Data. After reading a lot on ITBS I came to my own conclusion that the stretching approach was more or less useless. Peak KAM was higher in the pelvic drop trial (0.55Nm/kg0.15) compared to the typical gait trial (0.40Nm/kg0.109) (p<0.001). Twenty healthy individuals performed a series of single limb standing trials, where they were asked to balance on their dominant leg. Frustrate me? Clin Biomech 24 (1), 35-42. What I mean by quality is that some tend to be hard, almost thickened to the touch, and others are soft, almost pliable. For me, the problem seems guaranteed to recur anytime I jog too far for my current condition, but if I stay below that, I seem to be fine. Certain patients biomechanical dysfunction can be what I describe as bottom up (foot driven) and the skilled clinician will identify this group and should send them to an excellent musculoskeletal podiatrist. Your response suggests that you believe Iliotibial Band Syndrome is linked more to the swing phase of running rather than stance. In the injured group, there were 4 subgroups of runners with either patellofemoral pain, iliotibial band syndrome, medial tibial stress syndrome or Achilles tendinopathy. Performing the pelvic drop exercise may cause you to break yourhip precautions. Patient takes a shorter step on the contralateral limb. We did quite a bit of anatomical research on this in cadavers in writing this paper http://db.tt/vtNXLVVl looking at exactly the lack of Stretch! Brads thoughts are that during stance there is not enough (or should not be enough) knee flexion on impact to cause this anterior-posterior shear strain to the amount you describe from Muhles 1999 article (that is in someone with normal pelvic control, without pelvic drop). Excessive pelvic drop can weaken the posterior chain causing suboptimal stride. Rollering the ITB itself is just pointless, painful and frankly serves no purpose it does not stretch the ITB (it itself does not get tight) and one simply cannot release it. Given that he has not posted to this thread for almost three years, I think we can safely assume that Brad is either too busy or secretly regretting he ever wrote this post. Would this be fair? Brindle, R. A. and C. E. Milner (2017). Med Sci Sports Exerc 44(9): 1747-1755. Does it work ? The current study purpose was to investigate the effects of contralateral pelvic drop gait on the magnitude of the knee adduction moment (KAM) within asymptomatic individuals. The iliotibial band starts around the hip with insertional fibres of both gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata. The researchers wrote, This study identified a number of global kinematic contributors to common running injuries. Both clinicians (Brad and Ellis) in particular produce valid arguments in their rationale for how they treat this problem. Walking may also help a little. One of the more functional exercises you can do for running, the single leg squat is a favorite of mine. (function(d,t){var g=d.createElement(t),s=d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];g.src="//x.instagramfollowbutton.com/follow.js";s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);}(document,"script")); Last night I posted this short video on Instagram of a female marathon running client of ours. I can find that the adductors are overactive in some clients and that soft tissue release of these along with dry needling to the ITB and addressing movement dysfunction are key. Just one more thing to ponder! Your foot should not lower enough to touch the groundbe sure to control the movement with a slow, steady drop. I really felt like rollers and massage helps me ramp up my milage a bit faster, but it is hard to be 100% certain about this. I have implemented a great deal of your recommendations. This is a significant finding. "We feel contralateral pelvic drop may contribute to multiple different injuries, as it increases the stress placed throughout the entire bodyparticularly the lower limbs," study author. That is rigour. But does shear/friction force of the ITB against the underlying structures occur in a running gait well it has to, but in combination with compression (as Brad points out). Great example of a bilateral (left hip worse than right) contralateral pelvic drop. 2021 Apr;33(4):329-333. doi: 10.1589/jpts.33.329. Hip abductor function in individuals with medial knee osteoarthritis: Implications for medial compartment loading during gait. Glut. Peak and impulse were identified. Bookshelf Some of these structures will be neural which will fit in with the concept of the highly innervated fat pad being the actual source of pain. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help Effects of hip exercises for chronic low-back pain patients with lumbar instability. Please do not confuse this with the grossly erroneous term overpronation and if you havent done so already, take the time to read this excellent summary by my colleague Ian Griffiths. Some problems that can be attributed to hip weakness include: If you are experiencing hip weakness, you should visit your healthcare provider or physical therapist to help you find the correct exercises to strengthen the hips. I would propose that there is under-utilisation of the (ilio)psoas in the swing phase (or that it is weak), causing compensatory over-use of TFL along with Rec Fem (especially when going from extension into flexion) to assist in hip flexion resulting in greater ITB compression/shear/friction (Brad does mention this quite clearly). Yet, we see three main kinematic parameters standing out from specific running related injuries: contralateral pelvic drop, knee valgus and foot overpronation. Thanks again for the healthy debate everyone..back to work! The functional anatomy of the iliotibial band during flexion and extension of the knee: implications for understanding iliotibial band syndrome. Any clinicians following this discussion I would suggest you start addressing muscle imbalance sooner rather than later and analysing running/gait biomechanics and movement patterns (with a slow-motion camera anyone purporting to be able to do this with the naked eye, real time, is lying). Turned out that my lateral epicondolus was too prominent as such never allowing the IT band to fully recover. If you have experienced ITBS yourself you will well know that the symptoms can be neural like, so a highly innervated structure is highly likely to be involved, when I suggest that all the mechanical elements are involved, its not being non-committal to anyone of them, its appreciating all the direct and resultant forces that are at play and the tissues restrictions and movements that occur as such. Normal range here is less than 5 degrees. We know that the anatomical structure of the ITB cannot be lengthened at all. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. One biomechanical flaw that will cause an increased strain of the iliotibial band is hip flexor imbalance. With regards your comments around the shortcomings of both research and researchers, it is difficult to come to any consensus if people simply dismiss the research that supports or negates their methods and treatments. This exercise strengthens the gluteus medius muscle located in the side of your hips and buttocks. I have been keeping an eye on this blog with interest over the past couple of weeks. Or because the individual runs on heavily cambered surfaces. I pronate on my right foot, but I get more ITB left knee, so I suspect that the pronation doesnt have much effect for me. So my question is how do you apply proper functioning of these muscles and activation patterns to the actual running form? All part of the fun and the challenge! It largely depends on the severity of the case, with some runners able to return to full training much sooner, and others requiring a longer period of rest and rehabilitation. Brett Sears, PT, MDT, is a physical therapist with over 20 years of experience in orthopedic and hospital-based therapy. Stefanyshyn, D. J., et al. weakness is also extremely common and also often involves a TFL compensation feeding more tension into the ITB. [4] Cook, J & Purdam, C (2012). JOSPT 40 (2), 42-51. Participants. Hy everybody, great article that show us problems are the same in every country I think you could find some interest in reading this article with our point of vue, after testing 19 ultra-trailers who were suffering: http://podoxygene.com/articles/articles.php?id=5&cat=3 best wishes, Thank you for your brilliant article. In regards to the hip flexor imbalances as a potential cause for ITB symptoms and the compensatory rectus femoris activation, how would you know if the psoas isnt functioning correctly and how would you remedy this? Heres an example of a simple iliotibial band syndrome rehab routine you can try: Please do not throw out the baby with the bathwater. I would like to say that your comment about research being conducted by MSc or PhD candidates is naive and largely inaccurate. The mechanism at work here is the body trying to shift the Center of Mass over the top of the base of support, in the frontal plane. Tightness is a factor, but often I find that manually slackening the ITB passively doesnt seem to change its quality (to the touch). The pathophysiology advocated by both of these studies is one of compression of a highly innervated and vascular area of fat (previously presumed to be bursa), which is inflammatory in nature and as such will respond very well to an ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection if symptoms are preventing adequate rehabilitation. 2021 Aug 1;37(4):351-358. doi: 10.1123/jab.2020-0273. As for the research, any time you read the literature it should be read with a critical mind, not treated as gospel. So I think to summarise a bit to finish, a good stance phase is imperative to a good swing phase, it was never my argument that the stance phase isnt important in ITBS, but the swing phase is the under discussed element that I personally feel is the most easily missed, or even dismissed, when treating anyone with ITBS. (2020). J Phys Ther Sci. eCollection 2020. 2023 Dotdash Media, Inc. All rights reserved. I personally despise the use of foam rollers on the ITB because they just injure the band and promote tension not reduce. Mentally, shifting running style seems to help a little, but again it is hard to be 100% sure about this. You can measure the angle by drawing a line through the PSIS and measuring the angle formed between this and a line parallel to the floor. A video posted by James Dunne (@kineticrev) on Mar 5, 2015 at 1:05pm PST. (just a piece of the puzzle of course!). Copyright 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. An underactive Iliopsoas muscle is very common within running athletes who have a tendency to use rectus femoris, one of the quadricep muscles, to generate hip flexion, instead of iliopsoas. This confirmed the results of their retrospective study from a year previous and is also supported by the abovementioned retrospective work of Miller et al (2007) and the very high quality prospective work of Hamill et al (2008) from Clinical Biomechanics. Rapid Destructive Arthropathy of the Knee in Parkinson's Disease with Pisa Syndrome: A Case of Knee-Spine Syndrome. Having suffered from ITBS for a long time, it ultimately took a surgeon to fix it. But then there is the question that Brad raised about whether the knee flexion angle is great enough with running to be considered a problem. The KAM increased significantly with contralateral pelvic drop (p =0.001) and with combined contralateral pelvic drop and trunk lean ( p <0.001) compared to the level pelvis trials. Z. Hoch (2011). However clinically I consistently find that there seems to be a marked difference in the quality of my clients ITBs. doi:10.1590/bjpt-rbf.2014.0089, Lavine R. Iliotibial band friction syndrome. Contralateral Pelvic Drop. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 41(9): 625-632. As for Guru driven approaches, we still need this. With regards to Vastus Lateralis, so many athletes are dominant through their lateral and central Quadriceps because of the moderate range of motion that they train within, but I would not choose to employ a foam roller as my tool of choice to combat this. Use a mirror to ensure you are in the proper position if necessary. The site is secure. We observed hip muscles are complex and are the powerhouse of running. Ultimately poor iliopsoas force production (in a strong muscle) comes from poor pelvic control as the poor iliopsoas has no solid anchor to pull against to then pull on the femur and independently flex the hip joint. @KineticRev Right stance isn't as bad because of the trunk shift. Verywell Health articles are reviewed by board-certified physicians and healthcare professionals. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. I feel that gluteus maximus is more influential than gluteus medius in this presentation as it is a three-dimensional single joint muscle, the most powerful external rotator of the hip and the superior fibres contribute significantly to hip abduction. Mechanically compression strain is the process of one structure being pushed into another. This was described as early as 1996 by Orchard et al within the American Journal of Sports Medicine and continues to be mentioned frequently throughout the literature to date. With regards to is it the swing phase, or is it the stance phase that is the issue(?) By keeping the hips strong, you may be able to prevent hip, back or knee problems and you can maintain appropriatefunctional mobility. Regards, Nathalie. Add a hip abduction while doing a plank places an extremely high isometric load on the obliques and hip abductors on the lower hip while also training the hip abductors of the top side. If you are a running coach, strength coach, or a physio, we would like to work As such these variables need to be understood and addressed as part of any thorough treatment / rehab / prevention plan. Please feel free to reach out, comment and ask questions. "The effect of real-time gait retraining on hip kinematics, pain and function in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome." When our pelvis drops, the centre of mass gets pulled on the same side, so the trunk will naturally lean towards the higher side (opposite of the pelvic) to prevent falling over. Clients stance is too narrow. doi:10.1589/jpts.27.345, Santos TR, Oliveira BA, Ocarino JM, Holt KG, Fonseca ST. Your commentary on this area shows lack of insight into the process. Heres What You Need to Know. It usually occurs contralateral to the side of weakness. PMID: 22999376 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2012.08.041 Adult What is it, and what can be done about it? It is a minor procedure with quick recovery . Its possible that both compression and friction forces are involved, but there are still a lot of unknowns, and I think both should still be considered when investigating the cause of the injury. 2015 Apr;50(4):385-91. doi: 10.4085/1062-6050-49.5.07. Id argue that ITB syndrome is more related to compression than friction, as was previously believed [1]. The goal of any research is the pursuit of knowledge: without it, we simply have hunches, theories and ideas. [5] Distefano, L et al (2009). 2017 Sep;57:177-181. doi: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2017.06.009. In fact, some studies would suggest that there is no relationship between the biomechanics of the swing phase and ITB syndrome. Compare the stance of catwalk models with Kipchoge or Gwen Jorgensen both of whose have wider stances. Please correct me if I am wrong or my thoughts are incorrect but with a lack of explanation it is difficult to see where your reasoning is derived Ellis. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Does Gait Retraining Have the Potential to Reduce Medial Compartmental Loading in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis While Not Adversely Affecting the Other Lower Limb Joints? Our expertise, combined with the patented D3O shock absorption technology, enables Enertor to deliver the most advanced injury prevention insoles on the market today. both are valid components to be looked at by the clinician. The research, Sex-specific Considerations for Shoulder Instability and Adhesive Capsulitis in Females, was published online on May 19, 2022 in the Journal of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery. How long did we accept that it was friction before this theory came out? J Phys Ther Sci. Look at the upsurge in research into myofascial dysfunction, it pretty much hinges on the treatment approaches that were theorised and developed over many years by a few individuals that identified previously unconsidered methods of treatment that simply worked. MeSH Its difficult to say, but if one were to break up an adhesion it needs to be pulled apart/stretched, not compressed surely(?) Contralateral pelvic drop during gait increases knee adduction moments of asymptomatic individuals Pelvic drop gait increased KAM peak and impulse. Wouters, I., et al. This was completed by the three principal investigators and two physiotherapists. 2022 Mar;30(3):381-394. doi: 10.1016/j.joca.2021.10.010. To stabilize the body, these forces also lead to excessive eversion of the rearfoot leading to overpronation. Single leg glute bridges is a focussed exercise to build strength in the glute muscle complex. Im slowly learning to feel how my legs often tighten up during a jog before ITB pain occurs to start backing off the pase, or concentrating on my style, or even walk for a while. Definitely James the ITB has to move anterior and posterior in relation to the underlying structures (bones, bursa, muscle, fatty tissue) during a normal gait cycle of swing and stance. Banded clamshells, banded side leg raises are very helpful in building strength in hip abductors. The key point that most people miss is that you should only go down as far as you can keep your pelvis level. My doc didnt reognized it for years wich of course increaed t5he problem.To the point where I only run less than 1 min and the pain was too much I had to stop. Yet to find any research to back these observations up directly. 2022 Nov 26. doi: 10.1007/s00402-022-04703-y. As Oz Phys states very well, I am not blindly guided by the evidence base, but you must evaluate, appraise thus decide what you will follow and what you will dismiss. Regarding the friction vs. compression issue, in contrast to what Fairclough observed, a study by Muhle et al (1999) using MR imaging showed that the IT band did in fact move posterior to the femoral epicondyle during knee flexion. Here are a few exercises you could try for starters: Home Blog Running Technique Do Your Hips Move Like This? http://zzathletics.com/Golf-Ball-Muscle-Roller-Massager-GBMR1.htm, Excellent article and Amen! As you mention, there is a great study showing greater hip adduction during running as a risk factor plain and simple, correct this and you go along way to sorting it out!

I must disagree with you with regards to orthotics, please remember that femoral/tibial adduction and internal rotation (dynamic knee valgus) is coupled with talus adduction and inversion/calcaneal eversion and sometimes navicular drop. Most significantly, contralateral pelvic drop was found to be the strongest predictor of injury. Brad Im very impressed by your passion in presenting (and taking the time to find) all the relevant findings in the literature. This will occur whenever the IT band is put under more strain by a change of position at either its origin or insertion. Both male and female elite athletes at increased total hip arthroplasty risk versus the general population. Aaron LeBauer PT, DPT, LMBT. and transmitted securely. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. KAM was assessed during single limb stance in two conditions: with pelvis and trunk maintained in a level position, and with contralateral pelvic drop. Just wanted to raise the point that sometimes surgery is the only option out and people should really consider this if things dont clear within a reasonable time.
