How to recover and treat quadriceps strain.

**Quadriceps tendon strain is a change in the angle of the knee when the knee is supported by force, and it is not advisable to bend the knee and avoid wearing high heels that cause pain. Appropriate rest, pain and swelling can be obvious knee extension immobilization, avoid knee flexion and extension activities. Brakes can be made with cotton "splints", compression bandaging, protective support straps, knee pads, knee braces, splints or plaster holders, etc.

Topical physiotherapy is administered, preferably with moist and hot compresses. Cold compresses can also be used in the acute phase. Occlusion** is also very effective, note that the drug should be injected around the muscle, not into the patella.

In severe cases, if the treatment is not cured for a long time, longitudinal splitting of the muscles and legs can also be performed to reduce the tension and remove the osteophytes. Traditional Chinese medicine** depends on the symptoms. The pain is changeable, and the pain of the wandering curtain can be taken with Dusheng San (12g of incense attached), decoction in water, 2 times a day.

Accompanied by trauma, or the onset of the disease is sudden, the pain is severe such as a knife cutting needle prick for the pain and blood pain, with the activation of the spirit of the elixir (that is, angelica 12g, salvia 15g, frankincense 12g, myrrh 12g, plus Liu Jinu 15g), decoction in water, 1 time in the morning and evening. If the pain is aggravated by the cold, the cold and numb people can use the magic effect of the powder: safflower, cinnamon, Chuanwu, Caowu, Hexian peach pills, that is, aconitum plus five spirit fat, clematis; Supplemented by Qinwu, the curative effect is quite good.

External drugs, wandering pain can be steamed and ironed with silkworm sand. If the injury is paralyzed and the blood is painful, you can use Liu Jinu to apply it externally, that is, to use Liu Jinu to blindly grind the end of the external application. For cold pain, use Sichuan Wu to pound fine noodles as a powder, vinegar to adjust the external application, or use ginger moxibustion.

Swelling can be wet compressed with miscanthus saturated solution. In the chronic stage** quadriceps tendon strain, massage can be done by kneading, pulling, pulling and pulling. If the pain point is limited and does not heal for a long time, a small needle knife can be used to run parallel to the tendon for longitudinal incision to relieve pressure, or parallel to the tendon to loosen the withered connection.

1.Seated weight-bearing leg flexion and extension.

2.Barbell squat Half squat.

3.Supine leg squats.

4.Squat in front of the barbell.

5.Prone leg flexion and extension.

6.Calf weight lifting (weight should be gradual).

Generally, it takes half a year to basically regain the strength of the quadriceps.

Quadriceps tendon strain, also known as quadriceps tendonitis, has recently been called quadriceps terminal disease. Due to occupation, sports, lifestyle habits, etc., the quadriceps tendon suffers from long-term chronic strain at the upper border of the patella. How is quadriceps leg strain diagnosed?

Pain at the quadriceps tendon insertion at the superior edge of the iron bone. Mild cases only hurt when jumping, and severe ones hurt when going up and down stairs, and even when walking. Wearing high heels, which causes slight knee flexion, can worsen the pain.

or there may be slight swelling, which can be deducted and a friction rub. This friction rub is different from the first one or two sounds that occur during normal joint flexion and extension, and the normal sound disappears or diminishes after a few movements. The friction rub is persistent, active and passive, and the pitch is constant and lasts longer.

A fricative, such as a crepitus, or "snow hold" sensation, is located at the suprapatellar vein. Tenderness at the upper border of the patella, slight local swelling, thickening, roughness, toughness, pain in the knee when resisting resistance, or passive stretching pain. but no patellar tenderness.

X-ray, osteophyte hyperplasia at the upper border of the patella, and even avulsion of osteophyte can be seen. However, the clinical symptoms of quadriceps tendon strain are disproportionate to the osteophyte condition.

The disease is mainly symptomatic, and rice is helpful for acute injuries. Rice** includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Others**include**, comfort**, stop running and jumping, and**strengthen the hamstrings after exercising.
