Pre-habbing & Re-habbingThe Sporting Groin
- Early to End Stages
James MooreConsultant Physio RFU & UKA
The Gilmore Groin and Hernia Clinic Symposium RSM, Sept 2011
Diagnostic Flow chart
Pt presents with Abdominal related groin pain
Do they have any Hip symptoms or PE signs? - Image the Hip
Do they have any PJ symptoms or PE signs? - Image the PJ
Do they have any abdominal symptoms or PE Signs? - Image the Abdominals
Treat the Hip, PJ and abdominals for 2-6 weeks
Re-assess for change - two types of patients
Abdominal symptoms & Physical signs are settling
Function has improved, able to do more, Pain no change
Sporting movement - Sprinting
Sporting movement - Kicking

Pre / Re - Habbing decisions
• Isolation or functional load?
• Inner vs. outer range?
• Isometric vs. concentric vs. eccentric?
• Resisting an extension torque or producing a flexion mvt?
• Sagittal vs. Coronal vs. Transverse?
• Produce vs. resist rotation / coronal?
• Perturbations?
• Max force vs. sub-maximal?
• Time under tension?
• Tensile load?
Trunk stiffness vs core stability
Trunk stiffness - Rotation
Monitoring progress
1. Pain or “stiffness” next morning
2. Squeeze test
–Compare with baseline
3. Pubic symphysis stress tests
4. Adductor muscle tone
–Bent knee fall outs

Pre / Rehab should include:
1. Establish benchmark
2. Early loading for tissue regulation and pain reduction
3. Progress to dynamic loading - Stress / strain / elastic
4. Integrate dynamic loading - speed
5. Balance the hip & pelvis - Total hip strength
6. Progression based on obj functional & clinical markers
7. Re-evaluate every 2 weeks
8. Time frame to consider surgery
