ABSTRACT

In pes anserine bursitis patient complaint of medial side knee pain which is in inflammatory condition. The case report aims is to present evaluation & treatment of young female who’s working in the medical field which majorly involved long-standing. In addition to traditional methods of treatment, we focused on her muscle strength & biomechanical correction to improve her ADLs. A 27-year patient came to OPD with severe pain, swelling, tenderness which affected her daily functional activity. In pes anserine bursitis improvement of whole biomechanics is very important. To improve the biomechanics of the hip, knee, ankle, core we started planning 9 days strengthening program. Initial 3 days, the patient had severe pain & swelling over the inner side of the knee. We explain the effect of exercise to the patient & asked her to avoid the brace. Initially, due to this problem list, we gave her simple exercise with that cryotherapy & electrical modality to reduce the symptoms. In the next 7 days, we focused on improving the all-affected muscle strength, in this patient we had to correct the overall biomechanics to improve quality of life. We focused on strengthening core muscles, back muscles & all the weak muscles. Initially, we started with Thera Band, then with weight cuff & progress with Bosu ball training for balance & proprioception section. In addition to traditional method the strengthening exercises & biomechanical correction of lower limb showed early recovery.
