Muscle action
All four quadriceps are powerful
extensors of the knee joint.
They are crucial in walking, running,
jumping and squatting.
It is also a flexor of the hip.

Treatment and Management
Phase one 24- 48 hours
ICEup to 20 minutes each hour
Compression dressing in knee flexed position
No weight or partial weight bearing with crutches
Gentle active range of motion in pain free range

15/30
Treatment and Management
Phase two 2-5 days
If range of motion is not possible continue non weight bearing
Modalities like ultrasound or high voltage galvanic stimulationcan be given
Start with isometric strongly resisted hamstring work if active
range of motion is achieved
Light partial weight bearing can be allowed

Treatment and Management
Phase three
Discontinue crutches full weight bearing
Work on active range of motion
Gentle quadriceps stretching
Increase resisted quadriceps work
High voltage galvanic stimulation
X ray at 3 weeks to rule out myositis ossificans

Treatment and Management
Phase four
Range of motion is within 10 degree of normal or full
Achieve normal flexibility
Normal quadriceps strength
Normal power balance
Can now start jumping start or stop in sprinting

Adductor Strain
Strains usually occurs at the myofascial junction and more
frequently in adductor longus.
Caused due to sudden overextension or stretching ininadequately warmed up muscle.
Commonly seen in ice hockey, soccer, high jump, water skiing
and football.

A mild (Grade 1) groin strain may not be very painful and may not limit mild or
moderate physical activity.
A moderate (Grade 2) sprain causes moderate discomfort and limits or prevents
running and jumping.
A severe (Grade 3) strain causes pain doing almost anything and could include any
of the symptoms.

Swelling and/or bruising that may develop several days after
the injury.
Inability to move the leg inward or across the front of your body.

Treatment and Management
Dont try to come back too soon.Absence of symptoms while
performing normal daily activities is deceiving and different from
the forces involved in training or competition.
No brisk walking, jogging, or running as long as you have
moderate-to-severe pain.
Once the pain disappears, gradually increase the intensity,
duration, and frequency of training.
Go through all the movements required in your sport without
pain before returning to action.

26/30
Treatment and Management
Phase one 12-72 hours
Apply ice packs to the area for 15-20 minutes,
3-4 times a day to minimize swelling and pain.
Compression dressing
Use an elastic wrap or bandage to apply pressure and limit swelling
Gentle active range of motion in pain free range
Rest - Take 5-7 days off
Analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs

Treatment and Management
Phase two 2-5 days
If range of motion is not possible continue further exercises.
Modalities like ultrasound or high voltage galvanic stimulation
can be given.
Gentle stretching exercise.
Light resisted exercises.
Activities like stair climbing and cycling.

If pain is completely not presented strength is 80 percent as
compared to normal side on isokinetic testing.
