Which of the following would be the MOST appropriate instruction for a participant suffering from trochanteric bursitis?
  1. “Avoid calf raises”
  2. “Avoid open-chain kicking”
  3. “Avoid side-lying positions”
  4. “Avoid weight bearing activities”
Explanation
Answer: C - Participants suffering from trochanteric bursitis should be cautioned to avoid side-lying positions during exercise as this position places additional pressure on the bursa (located on the lateral hip region).Additionally, participants should be encouraged to stretch the IT band, quadriceps and hamstring and to strengthen the muscles of the buttock to assist in proper healing. Often, improper form in a repetitive act like running can irritate trochanteric bursitis.
