Although the condition was long labelled trochanteric bursitis, the dominant pathology is a tendinopathy of the gluteus medius and minimus rather than a primary bursitis.

Step-by-step assessment, special tests, and clinical reasoning.
Although the condition was long labelled trochanteric bursitis, the dominant pathology is a tendinopathy of the gluteus medius and minimus rather than a primary bursitis.
Since no single clinical test reliably confirms the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy in isolation, contemporary practice relies on a validated cluster of tests to raise or lower the probability of nerve root involvement.
A structured classification framework allows the clinician to reason from a broad presenting complaint toward a defensible working category, and to match the intervention to that category rather than applying a uniform protocol to every patient.
Learn to interpret spirometry step by step: FEV1, FVC, obstructive and restrictive patterns, bronchodilator response, GOLD staging and loops.
Learn how physiotherapists identify and manage atelectasis, postoperative atrial fibrillation and brachial plexopathy after CABG, including the causes of left-lower-lobe atelectasis.
