groin strain

an injury which results from overstretching of the adductors in the groin, especially common in football. Requires a rehabilitation programme for both flexibility and strengthening. See also groin pain.

groin strain

groin pain of insidious onset induced by sports exercise, relieved by rest but rapidly recurrent during next period of sport; pain increases and occurs earlier in exercise as injury becomes chronic, to the point of constant dull ache with only gentle activity; symptoms can be induced by passive limb abduction and external rotation at hip joint; treated by rest, physical therapies and anti-inflammatory agents, and bespoke orthoses to address limb pathomechanics; prevented by pre-exercise stretching and resistance strength exercises to condition pelvis and lower limb
