UDSPÆNDING
(5 min)

Lie on your back. Draw the injured leg up towards your head so that the muscles in the back of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Perform the exercise with outstretched as well as bent knee. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be performed standing with the injured leg outstretched on a chair while the upper body is bent slightly forwards.

Stand with support from the back of a chair or the wall. Using your hand, bend the knee and draw the foot up and your knee slightly backwards so that the muscles in the front of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be done lying down. If you lie on your stomach you can draw the foot up by using a towel.

Lie on your side on a table. Bend one leg up under your body and let the other hang over the edge of the table so that the muscles in the outer side of the thigh become increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating. The exercise can also be done standing by placing the outstretched injured leg behind the good leg at the same time as bending over the injured leg.

Stand with one leg outstretched and the other slightly bent. Thrust your weight to the side over the bent leg so that the inner side of the opposite thigh becomes increasingly stretched. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax for 20 seconds before repeating.

Inflammation of the bursa

Placement of intra-articular injections verified by ultrasonography and injected air as contrast medium.

Fredberg U, van Overeem Hansen G, Bolvig L. Ann Rheum Dis 2001 May;60(5):542.

Intraarticular injection of long-acting corticosteroid is a corner stone in rheumatological treatment. The injected intra-articular corticoid is more effective when the placement is correctly secured. Injection of radiographic contrast material has shown that less than half of the injections are correct placed in the joint space after blind injection. Generally, the clinical application of ultrasonographic examinations can be enhanced by contrast agents. The most common used technique is creation of microbubble contrast agents. Such agents, applied to the bloodstream, have been used for hepatic, nephrologic, cardiologic and transcranial examinations. Obviously, the risk of air embolism depends on the anatomic site of the injected air contrast. Transient ischemic attacks are described after echocardiography with air contrast and in animal models haemodynamic effects during venous air infusion can be measured. Intra-articular injection of air and subsequently lateral and posterior radiographs has shown that this technique can enhance the procedure precision. The disadvantage of this method is that the result can first be seen after the injection, and that a correction can only be made with a new injection. In the joint space the air is separated from the vascular system and when only small amounts of sterile air are used the risk of venous air embolism is neglectable. Air is a very effective contrast medium in ultrasonography. Air sonography has been used for the diagnosis of meniscus lesions in knee joints and for rotator cuff lesions in the shoulder. We expand the applicability of this method to all joints, not only for diagnostic purposes, but also for the correct placement of the needle before injection of medicine (steroid, osmium-acid, viscosupplementation): The sterile air that is contained in the capped vial with lidocain or steroid is used as contrast medium. The needle is ultrasonographic guided placed in the joint space profound for the distended capsule. When the steroid and lidocain are mixed in the syringe a small volume of air will be in the needle itself (˜ 0.05 ml). The air in the needle is clearly seen when the injection is started and will secure the correct placement of the needle. With this technique, it is not necessary to use two separate syringes and the inclination of the syringe will not cause the air to move from the needle to the bottom of the syringe. If the knee is injected, injection directly into the recess is recommended, which will make the small volume of air possible to be seen momentary. Figure 1 illustrates the ultrasonography of a MTP joint in a patient before (UL-34A) and after (UL-34B) injected air. The intraarticular air is clearly seen. We had made more than one thousand ultrasonography guided intraarticular injection without any complications. This method is easy, inexpensive, without risk and radiation and should be used routinely in rheumatology. Especially chemical synovectomy of the knee should always be guided by ultrasonography and with this technique also smaller joins can be considered for chemical synovectomy.

Go up and slowly down from the stool. Go up with the healthy leg first and down with the same leg first. The load can be increased by putting on a rucksack and gradually increasing the ballast in the rucksack.

Stretching is carried out in the following way: stretch the muscle group for 3-5 seconds. Relax for 3-5 seconds. The muscle group should subsequently be stretched for 20 seconds. The muscle is allowed to be tender, but must not hurt. Relax for 20 seconds, after which the procedure can be repeated. The time consumed for stretching, coordination and strength training can be altered depending on the training opportunities available and individual requirements.

Tapening



Type: JUMPER’S KNEE:

Objective: The load on the tendon fastening can be adjusted with use of tape, so that the maximum load is moved to another part of the tendon fastening allowing the injured part to be relieved.

Application: One or two tape “anchors” are applied around the lower leg just below the lower edge of the kneecap. The tape must not be fixed so tightly so as to cause any discomfort from the lower leg or foot (cold sensation, sleeping sensation).
