Análisis y tratamiento de las barreras motrices de la cadera según el concepto Sohier. A propósito de un caso

Abstract

This work has aimed to compare the effectiveness of treatment through physical therapy, isometric exercises and analytical techniques according to the Sohier method in the hip joint compared with physical therapy without using resets in a patient with recurrent muscle fiber strain of the rectus femoris.

The study subject was a 33-year old professional football player who was studied prior to and following the two treatment phases. The study included pain with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), amplitude of the right hip joint through two manual goniometer arms and the Borg's perceived exertion scale (PES), using the modified rate of perceived exertion scale for active muscles (Borg's RPE Scale). Standing out among the results are reduction of pain in both phases (higher in phase 2) and increase and stabilization in quantity or quality of hip mobility in phase 2.
