Sartorius muscle strain – case study
The following article describes the symptoms and treatment methods given to a BKS player in the case of Sartorius muscle strain.
Player:
Age : 21 years old
Height : 182 cm
Position: quarterback
Description of the injury:
During the volleyball training, the player felt strong pain in the right thigh.
Diagnostic test:
Functional tests as well as ultrasound examination confirmed the injury – Sartorius muscle strain – right thigh.
Ultrasound examination:
USG-sartorius muscle strain
Ultrasound examination – Sartorius muscle strain
USG-sartorius muscle strain – medical examination description
Medical examination description:
“Ultrasonography of the right thigh tissues: Visible incomplete disruption of the tailoring muscle in the area of 21×5 mm with partial constriction of the proximal end of the muscle – the image as after almost complete muscle rupture. Insertion of thigh adductors without pathological features. There is no exudate in the hip joint and in the ilio-lumbar bursa. 2nd image.”
Treatment and rehabilitation:
After diagnosis, the player was subjected to treatments and methods of comprehensive physiotherapy, such as:
Functional training
Manual therapy
Clavitherapy
Algonix
Functional massage of the Sartorius muscle
Cross-massage
Physiotherapy
Manual therapy:
manual therapy – sartorius muscle strain
Clavitherapy:
Clavitherapy Sartorius muscle strain
Physiotherapy:
The parameters applied during the therapy will be presented below. Devices manufactured by ASTAR company, PhysioGo 701I and Polaris HPs units were used.

USG check-up:
After 12 days of intensive rehabilitation, the ultrasound examination was again performed, which proved a significant health improvement:
“Ultrasonography of the right thigh tissues:
In the Sartorius muscle, visible scar-fibrous lesions in the area of 20×5 mm are visible at the lesion site. Insertion of the adductor muscles of the thighs without pathological features. There is no exudate in the hip and in the ilio-lumbar bursa. 4th image.”
Ultrasound examination – Sartorius muscle strain – comprehensive therapy effect
Therapy results:
Functional test – increased range of motion, decreased pain sensation in jumping and squatting exercises. The player returned to train.
Conclusions:
Intensive rehabilitation, based on the ASTAR devices application – LLLT cluster laser applicator , high-power laser therapy unit Polaris HP – has significantly accelerated the regeneration of injured Sartorius muscle. Estimated treatment time – 4 weeks. Effective treatments allowed the player to return back to game after 2.5 weeks.
