Player:

Age : 21 years old
Height : 182 cm
Position: quarterback

Description of the injury:

During the volleyball training, the player felt strong pain in the right thigh.

Diagnostic test:

Functional tests as well as ultrasound examination confirmed the injury – Sartorius muscle strain – right thigh.

Ultrasound examination:

USG-sartorius muscle strain

Ultrasound examination – Sartorius muscle strain

USG-sartorius muscle strain – medical examination description

 Medical examination description:

“Ultrasonography of the right thigh tissues:  Visible incomplete disruption of the tailoring muscle in the area of ​​21×5 mm with partial constriction of the proximal end of the muscle – the image as after almost complete muscle rupture. Insertion of thigh adductors without pathological features. There is no exudate in the hip joint and in the ilio-lumbar bursa. 2^nd image.”

Treatment and rehabilitation:

After diagnosis, the player was subjected to treatments and methods of comprehensive physiotherapy, such as:

• Functional training
• Manual therapy
• Clavitherapy
• Algonix
• Functional massage of the Sartorius muscle
• Cross-massage
• Physiotherapy

Manual therapy:

manual therapy – sartorius muscle strain

Clavitherapy:

Clavitherapy Sartorius muscle strain

Physiotherapy:

The parameters applied during the therapy will be presented below. Devices manufactured by ASTAR company, PhysioGo 701I and Polaris HPs units were used.

Laser therapy treatments within a period of time – 22.09.18 – 05.10.18:
