TRAINING LADDER FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: FOR MUSCULAR BLEEDING IN THE ANTERIOR THIGH (HAEMATOMA MUSCULI)
STEP 4
The following rehabilitation program will cover the needs for the vast majority of children with muscle bleeding in the anterior thigh. Older teenagers involved in sports at a high level can advantageously use the rehabilitation program for adults.
Unlimited: Cycling. Swimming. Running with jumping.
(5 min)
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.
(15 min)
Sit on a chair with elastic attached to the ankle. Raise the leg and slowly stretch and bend the knee.
Lie on the floor with slightly bent knees. Put the elastic under the foot and hold firmly with your hands. Stretch the knee so that the elastic is drawn tight and slowly bend the knee again.
Stand with your back against a wall with a ball or firm round cushion between the wall and your back. Slowly go down to bend your knee 90 degrees before slowly rising up again.
Stand with elastic around the hip. Step forward over one knee and hold the front foot firmly against the floor. Bend the rear leg and go forward onto your toes. Remember to change leg.
Stand with both legs on the stool with elastic around the hip. Take-off and land with feet together.
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.

STEP 3
The following rehabilitation program will cover the needs for the vast majority of children with muscle bleeding in the anterior thigh. Older teenagers involved in sports at a high level can advantageously use the rehabilitation program for adults.
Unlimited: Cycling. Swimming. Running with increasing distance.
(5 min)
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.

Sit on a chair with elastic attached to the ankle. Raise the leg and slowly stretch and bend the knee.
Lie on the floor with slightly bent knees. Put the elastic under the foot and hold firmly with your hands. Stretch the knee so that the elastic is drawn tight and slowly bend the knee again.
Stand with your back to the wall with your weight on both feet. Slowly go down and bend the knee to 90 degrees, and slowly rise again.
Go forward on the injured leg until the knee is bent to max. 90 degrees. Stand up on the same leg and return to the starting position.
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.

STEP 2
The following rehabilitation program will cover the needs for the vast majority of children with muscle bleeding in the anterior thigh. Older teenagers involved in sports at a high level can advantageously use the rehabilitation program for adults.
Unlimited: Cycling with a weak load. Swimming. Jogging.
(5 min)
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.
(10 min)
Sit on a chair with elastic attached to the ankle. Raise the leg and slowly stretch and bend the knee.
Go up and down from the stool. Go up with alternating right and left legs.
Lie on the floor with slightly bent knees. Put the elastic under the foot and hold firmly with your hands. Stretch the knee so that the elastic is drawn tight and slowly bend the knee again.
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.

(10 min)
Sit on a chair and lift the knee to a horizontal position. Hold for 1 minute, lower the leg to approx. 45 degrees for 30 seconds. Lower again to the starting position.
Sit on a chair with the injured leg on a stool or similar. Lift the leg above the stool with the foot flexed at a maximum, and hold the position for 10 seconds, followed by 10 seconds rest. The exercise should be repeated for approx. 3 minutes.

The painless soft tissue mass in childhood–tumour or not?
Boothroyd AE, Carty H. Postgrad Med J 1995 Jan;71(831):10-6 Soft tissue malignancies are uncommon in adults and even rarer in children. Twelve children presented to the radiology department over a three-year period with a clinical diagnosis of a malignant lower limb mass. This diagnosis was usually based on the presence of a firm, painless mass. However, imaging revealed a heterogeneous group of benign pathologies: haemangioma (two cases), haematoma (two cases), aneurysm (two cases), and one case each of infection, myositis ossificans, Baker’s cyst, lipoma, muscle rupture, and venous malformation. During the same period there was only one malignant soft tissue neoplasm. A variety of imaging techniques were used but ultrasound combined with colour flow Doppler was the single most helpful modality. The radiological diagnosis were confirmed by biopsy, surgery or clinical follow-up
