- build to 30-45 mins

 Introduce run intervals when:


- walking is painfree
- painfree squeeze
- (If PS involvement, painfree PSST’s)
- nil/minimal adductor guarding

 Start with RTJogging, progress to RTSprint as required


- monitor 24 hour pain response & squeeze test
- <3/10 pain during & quickly eases off, no morning pain or stiffness,
squeeze test remains painfree & recovers to pre-run level – ok to continue
- If not didn’t cope – response will determine delay in next trial
- Also check guarding – reduced BKFO, inability to turn off indicates didn’t
cope well, not ready

Muscle Strength Tests

 Side Lying or Supine only to P1

Thorborg

Krause et al 2007- Sidelying more reliable


Thorborg et al 2010 – Supine more reliable -held on with hands

Make (isometric) or Break (eccentric)(Sisto & Dyson-Hudson 2007)


Eccentric produces greater force, may be more sensitive to
deficits but greater risk of injury or pain aggravation
(Thorborg et al 2010)

Copyright Alison Grimaldi 2014 49


Sports Specific Drills
 Dancers - Bar class initially avoiding:
end range extension or abduction
deep plie’s esp in 2nd
fast closing movement
 Football codes/field sports – once coping well with straight line run
- Side shuffles
- Side stepping drills
- Weave
- Figure of 8’s
- Zig Zag - predictable
- COD – unpredictable (whistle)
 Kicking – Introduce last
- Start small range controlled direction
- Monitor & control volume
- not when pre-fatigued

AVOID
