Characteristics Of Soccer
Characteristics of soccer
Soccer possibly is one of the most famous sports around the world. However, we usually hear that some talented soccer players like Marco Van
Basten, Michael Owen and Ronaldo need to retire or the performance is seriously affected due to different kinds of injuries.

According to the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) and research data by John Miller, there are some common injuries affecting
soccer players which mainly focus on the legs, for example, knee injuries, ankle injuries and hamstring injuries.
Ankle sprains usually happen when the sole of the foot rolls under, damaging the lateral ligaments of the ankle, for ... Show more content on

70% of all ACL injuries happen without collision with another player as a result of football involving lots of one–step stop deceleration, sudden
change of direction, landing from a jump with the knee and hip at extension or a lapse of concentration. Besides tearing the ACL, we need to know
any knee injuries can cause a player to be sidelined from training and competitions for a long period unfortunately. Therefore, the knee injuries usually
are the main cause to break the careers of soccer players. (Source: http://www.englewoodortho.com)
Although hamstring strains (muscle group at the back of your thigh) will not seriously affect the careers of soccer players, they still make lots of
players endure torment on it. The reason is that hamstring strains easily occur when the thigh muscles of a player are not strong enough. This situation
usually happens when the player lacks time for recovery between training and competitions or receives excessive intensity training or matches when the
player recently recovers from injuries. (Source:

Posterior Muscles
Posterior Muscles Originating Above the Knee The popliteus muscle is a minor flexor of the knee. It penetrates the joint capsule to find its origin on
the lateral condyle of the femur, and passes obliquely to insert on the medio–proximal tibia. Its main function is to help stabilize the knee, but is also
able to rotate the femur on the tibia to unlock the knee. Two other muscles have origin above the knee. The gastrocnemiusmuscle is a rather large
muscle that has two heads of origin above the knee. The medial head originates just above the posterior medial condyle of the femur. The lateral head
has its origin on the posterior lateral surface of the lateral condyle of the femur. These two heads come together to form a large muscle that ... Show

The MP joint is enclosed in a joint capsule, which is thin on the dorsal aspect, and rather thick on the plantar aspect.
Muscles of the Foot Many of the muscles of the foot originate in the leg. Tendons from these muscles attach in the foot and aid in the articulation of the
joints. From the anterior leg, the extensor hallucis longus muscle, extensor hallucis brevis muscle, extensor digitorum longus muscle, and the extensor
digitorum brevis act as extensors on the phalanges. From the posterior leg, the flexor hallucis longus muscle and flexor digitorum longus muscle act as
flexors of the phalanges. There are a few intrinsic muscles that lie in the plantar region of the foot. The plantar region is divided into four layers. In the
first plantar layer contains the abductor digiti minimi muscle, abductor hallucis muscle, and the flexor digitorum brevis muscle. The second plantar
layer consists of the four lumbrical muscles, and the quadratus plantae muscle. The adductor hallucis muscle, flexor hallucis brevis muscle, and flexor
digiti minimi muscle all lay in the third plantar layer. The fourth, and final, plantar layer consists of the seven interosseous

Relative Differences: The Three Types Of Impingement
Impingement is a clinical syndrome of end–range joint pain or motion restriction resulting from direct mechanical abutment of bone or soft tissues.
There are three types of ankle impingement syndromes: anterior impingement, which can be subdivided into anterolateral, anteromedial and anterior
impingement; posterior impingement, which can be subdivided into posterior and posteromedial impingement.
These clinical abnormalities are related to interposition of more or less calcified synovial tissue in the joint space. They are often associated with bone
and soft tissue abnormalities. These conditions commonly occur in active people and athletes, as recurrent subclinical injury is an important factor for
their development. Relative contributions

What Is Clavicular Osteolysis?
Clavicular Osteolysis
Clavicular osteolysis is a type of shoulder injury. It happens in the area where the collarbone attaches to the top of the shoulder blade
(acromioclavicular joint, or AC joint). Repeated stress may cause tiny breaks (microfractures) on the end of the collarbone (clavicle). This leads to loss
of bone cells in the end of the clavicle.
This condition causes shoulder pain, especially when you lift an object over your head. Rest may relieve the pain.
CAUSES
This condition may be caused by repeated stress on the AC joint.
RISK FACTORS
This condition is more likely to develop in:
Men.
People who lift weights over the head for sport or training purposes.

The Importance Of Physical Therapy
football player that tears his rotator cuff will not be useful for his team until he completes physical therapy. Physical Therapists are crucial to a patient
just out of surgery; athletes, and elderly in need. When a patient has pain or swelling, physical therapists use massages, ultrasound, electrical stimuli,
and cold and hot compresses to alleviate the pain or health issue. They help patients use equipment to aid their mobility such as wheelchairs and
prostheses. As of January 1, 2015, all 50 states, the district of Columbia, and the U.S Virgin Islands allow patients to seek some level of treatment
from a licensed physical therapist without a prescription or referral from a physician. Physical therapy can be found in several different settings like
hospitals, schools, sports, nursing homes, and clinics. Rob Gerofsky said "Getting the athletes to come back and do proper rehabilitation is important to
me." They spend most of their time on their feet, constantly working with patients.
Physical therapists need to know key factors of the anatomy to help their clients. They need to know that the Acetabulum,Iliofemoral, Pubofemoral, and
Ischiofemoral ligaments are the structures that provide stability for the hip joint (Stack). Another way to increase mobility in the hip is bridging through
reciprocal inhibition, while a manipulation would work through neurogenic inhibition (Student Physical). As people age, they tend to lose flexibility,
strength, and often their balance.

Glenohumeral Joint Research Paper
The Glenohumeral Joint and its
Function Within the Human Body
The glenohumeral joint, or shoulder joint, is one of the human body's appendicular joints and boasts the greatest ROM (range of motion) of any joint
in the body. An appendicular joint is a joint that is part of the appendicular skeleton which includes the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, and limb bones.
The appendicular joints typically have a larger range of motion, but due to this are often weaker than those found in the axial skeleton. The
glenohumeral joint is responsible for articulating movement of the upper arm by way of pivoting the humerus at the point that it meets with the
scapula. There are many different classifications of joints within the human body and the glenohumeral joint is classified as a ball–and–socket joint
which is one of six different synovial joints present in the body. A synovial joint is a joint that contains articular cartilage, joint capsules, and synovial
membranes. A ball–and–socket joint is a joint that can be described as a ball that fits into a cup shaped dock allowing motion in all directions. This
arrangement allows the bone to employ three different types of movement, angular, rotation, and circumduction. This structure is what allows... Show

This is due in large part to the significant presence of a synovial membrane nestled between the ball (humerus) and the socket (scapula). The synovial
membrane is particular to freely movable joint cavities and is a cushion between the two bones. As briefly mentioned previously, synovial joints contain
articular cartilage –which covers bones at the joint–, joint capsules –a sac that covers the ends of bones–, and synovial membranes –fluid that serves to
reduce friction, provide shock cushioning, and lubricates. These features are key in the glenohumeral joint because it has such a large ROM and is
subject to more shock than many other joints in the

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Research Paper
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a term that is used when describing pain in the anterior knee and surrounding areas of the joint. PFPS is most
prevalent in athletes, women, and young adults but can also occur in other populations as there are several factors that contribute to PFPS such as
overuse injuries, which put a great amount of force and stress on the knee and can contribute to patellar misalignment. Activities such as jogging,
squatting, and climbing stairs all put increased force on the knee joints. These repetitive motions and force can cause PFPS especially if the activity's
frequency, duration, or surfaces are changed. Skeletal misalignments between the hips, knees, and ankles or muscular imbalances/weakness can lead to

Prior to any interventions, and again after the 6–week intervention, function will be measured using LEFS and pain will be measured using the NPRS.
I propose starting this study with 100 female participants (ages 15–30 years old) who have been diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome by their
MD. They will be randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 will perform a home quadriceps/hip combination–strengthening program for 6 weeks,
while group 2 will perform a core, quadriceps, and hip strengthening program for 6 weeks. The appropriate test for this study design is a mixed model
ANOVA. In order to run the test the following assumptions must be met: the data must have normal distribution, equal variance, ratio or interval scale
of measurement, sphericity, measurements of two or more times, and at least two independent groups. One strength of this design is that it is able to
look at multiple things at once; it can compare two independent groups over the course of two different times. This may be great for multiple

Long Day Landing Essay
Correlation Between Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Hip Drop During Single Leg Landing Post ACLR
Purpose/Hypothesis: Incidence of second ACL Injury after ACL reconstruction is 17 times higher than healthy uninjured peer athletes. There is high
interest in understanding and correcting LE mechanics during single leg landings as the majority of injuries occur during single leg tasks.
Strengthening and motor control of the proximal hip musculature has been emphasized to improve pelvic stability and reduce injury risk. Alternatively,
decreased load acceptance at the knee may contribute to excessive hip drop during landing. Those with ACLR consistently demonstrate quadriceps
weakness and reduced knee extensor moment during landing. Our aim is to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The isometric strength of the quadriceps was significantly different side to side (INV QUAD = 2.72 В± 0.77, UNINV QUAD = 3.07 В± 0.78, quad
LSI = 89% В± 14%). The hip drop of the two limbs were weakly related to one another (r= 0.237, p = 0.026), the involved limb demonstrated more
hip drop than the uninvolved (INV HIP ADD =14.55 В± 5.05, UNINV HIP ADD = 11.00 В± 5.31). Quadriceps strength symmetry and normalized
max knee extensor moment were inversely related to hip drop with a stronger relationship on the surgical limb (INV: QUAD MVIC r = –.341 p =
.001, KNEE MOM: r = –.425 p < .001 (n=88), UNINV: QUAD MVIC r =–0.278 p = .009, KNEE MOM: r = –.294 p = .005).
Conclusions: There is a significant correlation between sagittal plane knee and frontal plane hip moment during SLL in both limbs. Increased
quadriceps strength and increased knee moment was associated with less hip drop during landing. Moreover, the quadriceps strength asymmetry in this
population further amplified this relationship on the surgical side. The increased hip drop indicates that the participants' involved side was not fully

The Injury Of A Knee Injury
There are many 206 bones in the human body, but three main bones that make up our ankle. The three main bones that make up our ankle are the
tibia, which is the shinbone, the fibula, which is the smaller bone on the leg, and the talus, which is a small bone that sits between the calcaneus, the
tibia, and the fibula. The inside part of the tibia is called the medial malleolus. The back part of the tibia is called the posterior malleolus. The end of
the fibula is called the lateral malleolus. There are two main joints in the ankle. One of the joints is the ankle joint. The ankle joint is where the tibia,
fibula, and talus meet. The other main joint is called the syndesmosis joint. This is the joint that is between the tibia and fibula. When an ankle does
not heal correctly, it is called a nonunion.
There are many ways to cause an ankle injury. Twisting or rolling an ankle can create ankleinjuries. Tripping over something or falling down can also
cause ankle injuries. There are many ways to tell if an ankle is broken. These symptoms are severe pain, swelling, colored bruising, unable to put
any weight on it, or dislocation. If someone has these symptoms, they should go see a physician. "The incidence of ankle fractures is approximately
187 fractures per 100,000 people each year" (U.S. National Library of Medicine). There are approximately seven billion people on this planet. On
average, there are 13,090,000 ankle fractures every year. There are many different types of ankle

Speech – Not just an 'old persons disease'
Most people when they hear of arthritis, they initially think it is an 'old person's disease '. I am here today to explain that this is not the case. How
do I know this? At the age of three, the doctor diagnosed me with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. In reality, arthritis affects a wide array of people, all of
varying ages and backgrounds. It also does not discriminate who it targets. The people who can get arthritis include children, sports people, the elderly,
teenagers – anyone. Today, I will be telling you my story; one that I hope will let you into my life, and my life living with arthritis.

Distal Radioulnar Joint
The wrist is an anatomic linkage bridging the hand to the forearm. Eight bones of carpus and the distal radius and ulna form complex articulation that
allow 3 degrees of movement. The hand, relative to the forearm, can flex and extend, pronate and supinate, and deviate ulnar and radial. [17]
In order to have such mobility while maintaining stability, the wrist has complex configuration of ligaments and bones. Malfunction of the wrist occurs
when the structural alignment of the bones has changed or when the ligamentous constraints have been disrupted. [17]
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ)
Problems of the DRUJ have been called by Palmer as the "low back pain of the wrist. [18]

There is also reported a palmar osteocartilagenous lip in 80% of the people which acted as a stable buttress to palmar dislocation of the ulna.
The articulation of the sigmoid notch with the ulnar head allows rotation of the radiocarpal unit in the transverse plane.[ 19]
The ulna head:
The medial area of it has a bony prominence, whichis known as the ulnar styloid process. This is the point of attachment for soft tissue structures. The
dorsal nonarticular portion of the ulnar head has an osseous groove to accommodate the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon (ECU). Articular cartilage
covers a 90 to 135 degrees arc of the ulnar head, and only a 47 to 80 degree arc on the sigmoid notch.[20]
One important geometric joint characteristic of the DRUJ is the radius of curvature between the two articulating surfaces. The radius of curvature of
the ulnar head (averages 10 mm) is different from the radius of curvature of the sigmoid notch (averages 15 mm). Consequently,

Knee Replacement: A Case Study
Introduction
The primary apprehension pertaining to the total knee replacement (TKR) is that the tibia tray suffers from aseptic loosening and it occurs due to
physical stress shielding pertaining to the bone which further may need a revision surgery. The finest material is expected to be put to use for the
process pertaining to the TKR surgery (Nasab & Hassan, 2010). According to Okazaki et al. (2004) the material used for prosthesis which had rigidity
had lead to stress pertaining to the components along with the bones that are adjacent to the artificial knee. It leads to affecting the bone stress shielding
as well. During the recent times, there has been development of such graded materials which have been invented for being considered as the probable
tibia try biomaterial pertaining to the implant for ensuring enhancement in the ability pertaining to the distribution of the stress experienced.
Bahraminasab and Jahan (2015), highlighted the strategy that can be chosen for selecting the requisite material for acting as the tibia tray during the

Bones are essential to all movement of the human body as they are what is moved during muscle contractions, but can also limit our range of motion.

the other which increases your base of support. In doing this you ensure that you are in complete control of your body and the ball will go exactly
where you want it.
After a good starting position has been obtained it is the action is made easier and more effective. A good throw is performed by throwing the ball
high and in a liner line straight up into the air using your non hitting hand. While the ball falls an athlete will take a step forward and place their
weight on their front foot before jumping to hit the ball. In moving your weight to your front foot you move your centre of gravity forward as well

Essay On Shin Splint
A shin splint is a widely used term for pain in the lower leg or shin. Scientists don't completely know exactly what a shin splint is. Some believe that a
shin splint is a small tear of the muscle that's pulled off the bone. Some other theories about the exact problem that causes shin splints include: an
inflammation of the periosteum or of the muscle.
Shin splints are commonly encountered in runners or other athletes due to the high amount of strain placed on their legs. The pressure of all of your
body weight placed on your legs can aid in causing shin splints. When athletes normally get shin splints, they have recently increased the amount of
miles they usually run, changed their workout plan, or changed the surface they are running on. When runners increase their mileage too quickly, it
puts newfound strain on their legs because their legs aren't used to running that long. If an athlete changes their workout plan, they are using muscles
that they didn't previously. If they use the muscles around the shin, it could inflame that area and cause the athlete, or just anyone working out, to get
shin splints. When a runner gets used to running on one type of surface, the tension or angle ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This causes shin splints to be mistaken for other conditions. One such condition is a stress fracture. One difference between shin splints and stress
fractures is that the pain caused by shin splints doesn't have a definite spot of where the pain is coming from. It is a more generalized type of pain
than stress fractures. Another difference is that shin splints feel worse in the morning due to the soft tissue tightening overnight. There isn't a real need
to seek medical attention for shin splints specifically, but if the pain keeps up, you might want to go to the doctor in order to make sure that it's just

Heel Pain, Heel Spurs & Plantar Fasciitis Explained
By Peter Van Dyke
Feb 14, 2009
Heel pain is by far the most common foot complaint that affects millions of people around the world. Plantar Fasciitis is the ailment that is often
associated with the symptoms of Heel Pain and Heel Spurs.
This article enumerates the features:
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
How does Plantar Fasciitis result in heel pain and heel spurs
What is the treatment to relieve the discomfort of heel pain
Heel Pain Symptoms
Heel Pain, Heel Spurs, and Plantar Fasciitis are foot ailments that cause discomfort in the center of the heel when weight is placed on the foot,
especially when one gets up in the morning. The pain slowly disappears after walking around for a short time. The pain can vary in severity from case
to case or from time to time.
What Causes Heel Pain and Heel Spurs?
The most common cause of both heel pain and heel spurs is "Plantar Fasciitis" That is the Latin term designating the inflammation of the Plantar Fascia.
Plantar Fascia is that flat band of fibrous ligaments located under the foot that connects the heel bone to the toes. This dense strip of tissues acts like a
bow string that spans the arch of the foot to give it support.

lead to more serious problems in the individual, and the family as a whole. "Intensive psychosocial intervention in inpatients and outpatients is found to
have a positive impact on child and family functioning, therefore reducing stress levels" (Commodari, 2010). Nurses must help these families transition
into this new environment by providing interventions, and helping families to identify and utilize resources (Commodari, 2010). Currently, there are no
political or legislative implications regarding septic arthritis. There is no current legislative activity surrounding the issue. Patient Safety. Health care
professionals, as a whole, must take responsibility for establishing safe methods of care that involve preventing errors and adverse events. These
methods should also establish methods of identifying and reporting errors and adverse events when they do occur ("NEW AAP POLICY
STATEMENT ON PATIENT SAFETY," 2011). Although patient safety in hospitals has substantially improved, American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends expanding the focus of patient safety to ambulatory care ("NEW AAP POLICY STATEMENT ON PATIENT SAFETY," 2011).

Hip Bursitis Research Paper
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
The medical definition of bursitis is an inflammation or irritation of the bursa, which is a small, fluid–filled sac found in articulation. Inflammation
occurs from the decrease of friction of the bursa between the bones, muscles, and skin. Bursitis can be an acute or chronic condition. Acute bursitis are
often a result from an infection or injury, while chronic bursitis are caused by long periods of repetitive motion or use of the affected joint. The most
common sites include the elbow, hip, shoulder,knee, heel and even the base of the big toe.
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (formally known as Trochanteric Bursitis, or GTPS for short) is a hip bursitis which distresses the superficial
trochanteric bursa located over the greater trochanter of the femur. Inflammation of the trochanteric bursa is due to muscles and tendons rubbing over
the bursa causing friction against the femur. This ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Rest, cold therapy and non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, are most effective to reduce inflammation
stemming from injury and overuse. Combination of physical therapy and activity modification are recommended for proper stretching and
strengthening of the hip and to avoid activities which may aggravate the area. In the event of a septic hip bursitis, an infection of the bursa, the
doctor may perform an aspiration, in which a needle and syringe is used to remove fluid from the bursa followed by a prescription of antibiotics to
prevent the spread of infection. If rest, physical therapy and NSAIDs are no longer effective in relieving the pain, then corticosteroid injections are
administered. Although surgery is rarely needed, it may be warranted with some chronic hip bursitis. The three types of surgery most often used are
tendon repair and iliotibial band release, osteotomy of the greater trochanter and

Football Injuries In Football
What is the most common football injury? As a football fan, have you ever wondered to yourself what exactly is the most common injury in football?
I'm sure it has crossed your mind that football can be a very dangerous sport. Infact football is ranked number one for the most dangerous sport in the
world. It is necessary to use so much gear to help protect the athlete from things such as big hits; although, this does not always stop an injury. Injuries
can be as little as something to do with a wrist all the way to something major like an MCL tear which would result in surgery.
There is a tremendous amount of injuries when it comes to football; however, these can be prevented. Strains and rupture of thigh muscles, ligamentous
injuries of the knee as well as meniscus or other cartilage tears represented the most frequent differential diagnoses.
Ligament injuries in the knee and strains of the thigh are one of the top injuries (Shalaj, et.al, 2016). These injuries can be helped by performing
proper warmup and cool down techniques as well as drinking water before, during, and after exercising or training. Make sure that even stretching
these muscles is done the correct way as if not can later lead to issues or injuries (Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, 2015)

jumping or doing any fast movement would hurt my ankle. In basketball my ankle would hurt even more because I would constantly be running up and
down and would do very fast movements that brought a lot of pain to my ankle and that has affected it today. The way I have noticed that my ankle
was affected by the sprain was when it gets cold, my ankle starts aching and if I walk for too long it hurts as well and I have to rest it so that I can feel

Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis and its Pathophysiology
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a noninflammatory, age–related disorder with a genetic factor associated with it and is best described as a wearing and tearing
down of the articular cartilage in the synovial joint that commonly occurs in the knees, ankles, hips, hands, fingers, and wrist (Huether & McCance,
2017). In OA the articular cartilage is broken down due to thinning and the process of fibrillation which causes pain with weight bearing and use of the
body part (Huether & McCance, 2017). As a result of the breakdown of the cartilage which leaves the subchondral bone vulnerable, the bone becomes

Osteoarthritis frequently affects the small finger joints and thumb, as well as the knees (Rheumatoid Arthritis.org, 2016). RA affects several joints in
comparison to OA that affect one joint or area (Rheumatoid Arthritis.org, 2016). Osteoarthritis affects more people than rheumatoid arthritis. According
to Rheumatoid Arthritis.org, (2016), 27 million people develop osteoarthritis and around 1.3 million people develop rheumatoid arthritis. Although OA
is more prevalent in the population, females tend to be diagnosed are higher rates and experience the pain and stiffness alike (Rheumatoid Arthritis.org,
2016). RA appears in people between the age of thirty and sixty years of age. Osteoarthritis generally develops later in life. The signs and symptoms of
RA are joint pain, stiffness, swelling joints, symmetrical symptoms, stiffness lasting greater than 30 minutes in the AM, fatigue, fever, and malaise
(Rheumatoid Arthritis.org, 2016). In comparison, OA symptoms feature joint pain and stiffness which is unequally distributed and experienced in
hands, fingers, knees, spine, and hips with stiffness in the AM lasting less than 30 minutes (Rheumatoid Arthritis.org, 2016). Another note is that with
RA other diseases involving the lung, heart, musculoskeletal problems are common and continuous problems from the effects of inflammation

pathology includes tendinopathy, tendinosis and bursitis, as well as rotator cuff tears. Most common indication for rotator cuff tears include increasing
age and traumatic shoulder injury. Clinical symptoms for rotator cuff injuries include shoulder pain, weakness and loss of range of motion. However,
these symptoms are common in various diseases; differential diagnosis includes labral tears, glenohumeral ligament tears or sprains, coracoacromial

Thus helps in treatment planning and prognosis. Multiple factors are to be considered during treatment planning. It is important to identify the disorder
and its clinical implications, to ensure the most appropriate treatment. Nevertheless, the choice of imaging test depends on personal experience,

usefulness of various imaging modalities for the evaluation of shoulder pain in different clinical scenarios. However, the diagnostic algorithm will
ultimately be influenced by the therapeutic approach. The use of various imaging techniques to determine rotator cuff injuries is very controversial.
Thus a technique used should not only be informative but cost effective as well. Arthrography is invasive with much health risk. US is a non–invasive,

Functions Of A Joint And Articular Cartilage
Osteochondritis Dissecans
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), happens when a piece of tissue that covers a joint (articular cartilage) is separated from the bone. Articular cartilage
protects the bones and allows joints to move smoothly, without pain.
OCD most commonly affects the knee joint, but it can also occur at the ankle, elbow, or other joints throughout the body. OCD occurs mainly in
children and adolescents. Mild cases of OCD tend to heal over time, especially if a child has this condition. However, severe cases may require surgery
to reattach the articular cartilage to the surrounding bone.
CAUSES
The cause of this condition is not known. Possible causes include:
Injury from repetitive motion or repetitive stress on the joint.
Inadequate blood supply to the joint.
Having certain genes that make developing OCD more likely (genetic predisposition).
RISK FACTORS
The following factors may make you more likely to develop this condition:
Being a child or adolescent. Having bones that are still growing makes OCD more likely to occur.
Participating in sports that put repeated force on the joints, such as distance running.
Being obese.
Having a family history of OCD.
Having posture problems, such as bow legs or knock knees.
SYMPTOMS
In many cases, there are no symptoms of this condition. However, symptoms vary depending on the severity and location of the condition. Possible

Shooting A Bow Lab Report
Shooting a bow largely involves the use of the upper extremity. Between the needs of stabilization and torque, many muscles in the upper extremity are
utilized to perform an effective shot. However, the lower extremity is also involved in bow shooting mechanics. Muscles in the lower extremity
perform both concentric and eccentric contractions to stabilize the body during all phases of shooting a bow. Therefore, shooting a bow involves
complex contractions of muscles throughout the body. In the next few pages the joints and the muscular involvement of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist
during bow shooting will be discussed in depth.
As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the involvement of the upper extremity will be discussed in detail as it relates to its function in the action of

However, we usually hear that some talented soccer players like Marco Van Basten, Michael Owen and Ronaldo need to retire or the performance is seriously affected due to different kinds of injuries. Types of Injury, Mechanism of injury, Cause of injury, Risk factors ... etc) According to the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) and research data by John Miller, there are some common injuries affecting soccer players which mainly focus on the legs, for example, knee injuries, ankle injuries and hamstring injuries. Ankle sprains usually happen when the sole of the foot rolls under, damaging the lateral ligaments of the ankle, for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 70% of all ACL injuries happen without collision with another player as a result of football involving lots of one–step stop deceleration, sudden change of direction, landing from a jump with the knee and hip at extension or a lapse of concentration. Besides tearing the ACL, we need to know any knee injuries can cause a player to be sidelined from training and competitions for a long period unfortunately. Therefore, the knee injuries usually are the main cause to break the careers of soccer players. (Source: http://www.englewoodortho.com) Although hamstring strains (muscle group at the back of your thigh) will not seriously affect the careers of soccer players, they still make lots of players endure torment on it. The reason is that hamstring strains easily occur when the thigh muscles of a player are not strong enough. This situation usually happens when the player lacks time for recovery between training and competitions or receives excessive intensity training or matches when the player recently recovers from injuries.

  • 2. Posterior Muscles Posterior Muscles Originating Above the Knee The popliteus muscle is a minor flexor of the knee. It penetrates the joint capsule to find its origin on the lateral condyle of the femur, and passes obliquely to insert on the medio–proximal tibia. Its main function is to help stabilize the knee, but is also able to rotate the femur on the tibia to unlock the knee. Two other muscles have origin above the knee. The gastrocnemiusmuscle is a rather large muscle that has two heads of origin above the knee. The medial head originates just above the posterior medial condyle of the femur. The lateral head has its origin on the posterior lateral surface of the lateral condyle of the femur. These two heads come together to form a large muscle that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The MP joint is enclosed in a joint capsule, which is thin on the dorsal aspect, and rather thick on the plantar aspect. Muscles of the Foot Many of the muscles of the foot originate in the leg. Tendons from these muscles attach in the foot and aid in the articulation of the joints. From the anterior leg, the extensor hallucis longus muscle, extensor hallucis brevis muscle, extensor digitorum longus muscle, and the extensor digitorum brevis act as extensors on the phalanges. From the posterior leg, the flexor hallucis longus muscle and flexor digitorum longus muscle act as flexors of the phalanges. There are a few intrinsic muscles that lie in the plantar region of the foot. The plantar region is divided into four layers. In the first plantar layer contains the abductor digiti minimi muscle, abductor hallucis muscle, and the flexor digitorum brevis muscle. The second plantar layer consists of the four lumbrical muscles, and the quadratus plantae muscle. The adductor hallucis muscle, flexor hallucis brevis muscle, and flexor digiti minimi muscle all lay in the third plantar layer.

  • 3. Relative Differences: The Three Types Of Impingement Impingement is a clinical syndrome of end–range joint pain or motion restriction resulting from direct mechanical abutment of bone or soft tissues. There are three types of ankle impingement syndromes: anterior impingement, which can be subdivided into anterolateral, anteromedial and anterior impingement; posterior impingement, which can be subdivided into posterior and posteromedial impingement. These clinical abnormalities are related to interposition of more or less calcified synovial tissue in the joint space. They are often associated with bone and soft tissue abnormalities. These conditions commonly occur in active people and athletes, as recurrent subclinical injury is an important factor for their development. Relative contributions ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. What Is Clavicular Osteolysis? Clavicular Osteolysis Clavicular osteolysis is a type of shoulder injury. It happens in the area where the collarbone attaches to the top of the shoulder blade (acromioclavicular joint, or AC joint). Repeated stress may cause tiny breaks (microfractures) on the end of the collarbone (clavicle). This leads to loss of bone cells in the end of the clavicle. This condition causes shoulder pain, especially when you lift an object over your head. Rest may relieve the pain. CAUSES This condition may be caused by repeated stress on the AC joint. RISK FACTORS This condition is more likely to develop in: Men. People who lift weights over the head for sport or training purposes. Athletes who participate in sports that involve over–the–head ...

  • 6. The Importance Of Physical Therapy football player that tears his rotator cuff will not be useful for his team until he completes physical therapy. Physical Therapists are crucial to a patient just out of surgery; athletes, and elderly in need. When a patient has pain or swelling, physical therapists use massages, ultrasound, electrical stimuli, and cold and hot compresses to alleviate the pain or health issue. They help patients use equipment to aid their mobility such as wheelchairs and prostheses. As of January 1, 2015, all 50 states, the district of Columbia, and the U.S Virgin Islands allow patients to seek some level of treatment from a licensed physical therapist without a prescription or referral from a physician. Physical therapy can be found in several different settings like hospitals, schools, sports, nursing homes, and clinics. Rob Gerofsky said "Getting the athletes to come back and do proper rehabilitation is important to me." They spend most of their time on their feet, constantly working with patients. Physical therapists need to know key factors of the anatomy to help their clients. They need to know that the Acetabulum,Iliofemoral, Pubofemoral, and Ischiofemoral ligaments are the structures that provide stability for the hip joint (Stack). Another way to increase mobility in the hip is bridging through reciprocal inhibition, while a manipulation would work through neurogenic inhibition (Student Physical). As people age, they tend to lose flexibility, strength, and often their balance. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Glenohumeral Joint Research Paper The Glenohumeral Joint and its Function Within the Human Body The glenohumeral joint, or shoulder joint, is one of the human body's appendicular joints and boasts the greatest ROM (range of motion) of any joint in the body. An appendicular joint is a joint that is part of the appendicular skeleton which includes the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, and limb bones. The appendicular joints typically have a larger range of motion, but due to this are often weaker than those found in the axial skeleton. The glenohumeral joint is responsible for articulating movement of the upper arm by way of pivoting the humerus at the point that it meets with the scapula. There are many different classifications of joints within the human body and the glenohumeral joint is classified as a ball–and–socket joint which is one of six different synovial joints present in the body. A synovial joint is a joint that contains articular cartilage, joint capsules, and synovial membranes. A ball–and–socket joint is a joint that can be described as a ball that fits into a cup shaped dock allowing motion in all directions. This arrangement allows the bone to employ three different types of movement, angular, rotation, and circumduction. This structure is what allows... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is due in large part to the significant presence of a synovial membrane nestled between the ball (humerus) and the socket (scapula). The synovial membrane is particular to freely movable joint cavities and is a cushion between the two bones. As briefly mentioned previously, synovial joints contain articular cartilage –which covers bones at the joint–, joint capsules –a sac that covers the ends of bones–, and synovial membranes –fluid that serves to reduce friction, provide shock cushioning, and lubricates. These features are key in the glenohumeral joint because it has such a large ROM and is subject to more shock than many other joints in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Research Paper Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a term that is used when describing pain in the anterior knee and surrounding areas of the joint. PFPS is most prevalent in athletes, women, and young adults but can also occur in other populations as there are several factors that contribute to PFPS such as overuse injuries, which put a great amount of force and stress on the knee and can contribute to patellar misalignment. Activities such as jogging, squatting, and climbing stairs all put increased force on the knee joints. These repetitive motions and force can cause PFPS especially if the activity's frequency, duration, or surfaces are changed. Skeletal misalignments between the hips, knees, and ankles or muscular imbalances/weakness can lead to abnormal ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Prior to any interventions, and again after the 6–week intervention, function will be measured using LEFS and pain will be measured using the NPRS. I propose starting this study with 100 female participants (ages 15–30 years old) who have been diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome by their MD. They will be randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 will perform a home quadriceps/hip combination–strengthening program for 6 weeks, while group 2 will perform a core, quadriceps, and hip strengthening program for 6 weeks. The appropriate test for this study design is a mixed model ANOVA. In order to run the test the following assumptions must be met: the data must have normal distribution, equal variance, ratio or interval scale of measurement, sphericity, measurements of two or more times, and at least two independent groups. One strength of this design is that it is able to look at multiple things at once; it can compare two independent groups over the course of two different times.

  • 9. Long Day Landing Essay Correlation Between Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Hip Drop During Single Leg Landing Post ACLR Purpose/Hypothesis: Incidence of second ACL Injury after ACL reconstruction is 17 times higher than healthy uninjured peer athletes. There is high interest in understanding and correcting LE mechanics during single leg landings as the majority of injuries occur during single leg tasks. Strengthening and motor control of the proximal hip musculature has been emphasized to improve pelvic stability and reduce injury risk. Alternatively, decreased load acceptance at the knee may contribute to excessive hip drop during landing. Those with ACLR consistently demonstrate quadriceps weakness and reduced knee extensor moment during landing. Our aim is to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The isometric strength of the quadriceps was significantly different side to side (INV QUAD = 2.72 В± 0.77, UNINV QUAD = 3.07 В± 0.78, quad LSI = 89% В± 14%). The hip drop of the two limbs were weakly related to one another (r= 0.237, p = 0.026), the involved limb demonstrated more hip drop than the uninvolved (INV HIP ADD =14.55 В± 5.05, UNINV HIP ADD = 11.00 В± 5.31). Quadriceps strength symmetry and normalized max knee extensor moment were inversely related to hip drop with a stronger relationship on the surgical limb (INV: QUAD MVIC r = –.341 p = .001, KNEE MOM: r = –.425 p < .001 (n=88), UNINV: QUAD MVIC r =–0.278 p = .009, KNEE MOM: r = –.294 p = .005). Conclusions: There is a significant correlation between sagittal plane knee and frontal plane hip moment during SLL in both limbs. Increased quadriceps strength and increased knee moment was associated with less hip drop during landing. Moreover, the quadriceps strength asymmetry in this population further amplified this relationship on the surgical side. The increased hip drop indicates that the participants' involved side was not fully recovered post–surgery. Limitations: As a prospective study, it is possible the participants had deficits prior to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 12. The Injury Of A Knee Injury There are many 206 bones in the human body, but three main bones that make up our ankle. The three main bones that make up our ankle are the tibia, which is the shinbone, the fibula, which is the smaller bone on the leg, and the talus, which is a small bone that sits between the calcaneus, the tibia, and the fibula. The inside part of the tibia is called the medial malleolus. The back part of the tibia is called the posterior malleolus. The end of the fibula is called the lateral malleolus. There are two main joints in the ankle. One of the joints is the ankle joint. The ankle joint is where the tibia, fibula, and talus meet. The other main joint is called the syndesmosis joint. This is the joint that is between the tibia and fibula. When an ankle does not heal correctly, it is called a nonunion. There are many ways to cause an ankle injury. Twisting or rolling an ankle can create ankleinjuries. Tripping over something or falling down can also cause ankle injuries. There are many ways to tell if an ankle is broken. These symptoms are severe pain, swelling, colored bruising, unable to put any weight on it, or dislocation. If someone has these symptoms, they should go see a physician. "The incidence of ankle fractures is approximately 187 fractures per 100,000 people each year" (U.S. National Library of Medicine). There are approximately seven billion people on this planet.

I am here today to explain that this is not the case. How do I know this? At the age of three, the doctor diagnosed me with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. In reality, arthritis affects a wide array of people, all of varying ages and backgrounds. It also does not discriminate who it targets. The people who can get arthritis include children, sports people, the elderly, teenagers – anyone. Today, I will be telling you my story; one that I hope will let you into my life, and my life living with arthritis. The hospital is a place in which I am very familiar. I have vivid memories of being a small child wandering down the hospital hall, clinging on to my mother's hand – my eyes wide with apprehension. To this very day, I am still not a fan of hospitals. Then again, who is? I remember the sterile white room at the hospital, the doctors dressed in their sharp white coats and the astringent anti–bacterial smells wafting down the hall. I did not know what to expect. My story with arthritis and my relationship with the hospital started very young, when I was at the age of three.

  • 14. Distal Radioulnar Joint The wrist is an anatomic linkage bridging the hand to the forearm. Eight bones of carpus and the distal radius and ulna form complex articulation that allow 3 degrees of movement. The hand, relative to the forearm, can flex and extend, pronate and supinate, and deviate ulnar and radial. [17] In order to have such mobility while maintaining stability, the wrist has complex configuration of ligaments and bones. Malfunction of the wrist occurs when the structural alignment of the bones has changed or when the ligamentous constraints have been disrupted. [17] The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) Problems of the DRUJ have been called by Palmer as the "low back pain of the wrist.

  • 15. Knee Replacement: A Case Study Introduction The primary apprehension pertaining to the total knee replacement (TKR) is that the tibia tray suffers from aseptic loosening and it occurs due to physical stress shielding pertaining to the bone which further may need a revision surgery. The finest material is expected to be put to use for the process pertaining to the TKR surgery (Nasab & Hassan, 2010). According to Okazaki et al. (2004) the material used for prosthesis which had rigidity had lead to stress pertaining to the components along with the bones that are adjacent to the artificial knee. It leads to affecting the bone stress shielding as well. During the recent times, there has been development of such graded materials which have been invented for being considered as the probable tibia try biomaterial pertaining to the implant for ensuring enhancement in the ability pertaining to the distribution of the stress experienced. Bahraminasab and Jahan (2015), highlighted the strategy that can be chosen for selecting the requisite material for acting as the tibia tray during the knee implants based on the multi–criteria decision making approach in order to increase both its durability and the quality.

Blocking consists of two main actions, primarily a vertical jump to place yourself in the path of the volleyball and secondary raising your arms above your head in order to block a larger area of space. Bones are essential to all movement of the human body as they are what is moved during muscle contractions, but can also limit our range of motion. During the primary vertical jump flexion and extension of the hip is allowed by the highly mobile ball and socket joint formed between the pelvis and femur. Flexion and extension of the knee is made possible by the hinge joint formed between the femur and tibia and dorsiflexion ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Incorrect technique can lead to poor performance but can be improved by correcting biomechanics such as balance, stability and centre of gravity. Performance can also be increases by adding spin to the ball. Athlete spend years trying to improve their performance by perfecting correct technique Many technical issues in volleyball stem from bad balance. Before you perform a jump serve you must first adopt a stance with one foot in fortune of the other which increases your base of support. In doing this you ensure that you are in complete control of your body and the ball will go exactly where you want it. After a good starting position has been obtained it is the action is made easier and more effective. A good throw is performed by throwing the ball high and in a liner line straight up into the air using your non hitting hand. While the ball falls an athlete will take a step forward and place their weight on their front foot before jumping to hit the ball. In moving your weight to your front foot you move your centre of gravity forward as well which helps to build momentum towards the ball and to exert more force on the ball thus making it travel faster making it harder for the opponent to ...

Why People Have Joint Pain Why Many People have Joint Pain and How to Help Ease It As people age they begin to feel that they are experiencing pain in their joints more so than they did during their youth. There can be many reasons for this pain. Or can it be just a part of ageing. During our youth we don't pay much attention to how hard we played, what we eat, or if we took vitamins. Our mothers for the most part were responsible for what we eat, how much sleep we got, and in general how well we take care of ourselves. As children our bodies are pretty resilient and other than broken bones, skinned knees, bumps, and bruises pretty much heal and go away without any need or concern to see a physician. Years ago mothers made sure that we got the proper amount of sleep, which for the most part once we got to sleep our bodies took care of how much sleep we got all by its self, for most children that was anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a night if undisturbed. Most children got a balanced diet, some even got a daily vitamin or eat foods that were enriched in vitamins such as cereal and milk. A lot of kids ate in the cafeteria at school. Schools did their best to make sure that the lunches were well balanced.

  • 19. Essay On Shin Splint A shin splint is a widely used term for pain in the lower leg or shin. Scientists don't completely know exactly what a shin splint is. Some believe that a shin splint is a small tear of the muscle that's pulled off the bone. Some other theories about the exact problem that causes shin splints include: an inflammation of the periosteum or of the muscle. Shin splints are commonly encountered in runners or other athletes due to the high amount of strain placed on their legs. The pressure of all of your body weight placed on your legs can aid in causing shin splints. When athletes normally get shin splints, they have recently increased the amount of miles they usually run, changed their workout plan, or changed the surface they are running on. When runners increase their mileage too quickly, it puts newfound strain on their legs because their legs aren't used to running that long. If an athlete changes their workout plan, they are using muscles that they didn't previously. If they use the muscles around the shin, it could inflame that area and cause the athlete, or just anyone working out, to get shin splints.

Having a child hospitalized causes an increase in the levels of stress and anxiety for any caregiver. It has been found that hospitalization causes parents and siblings of the child to feel a sense of loss of control and confusion (Commodari, 2010). Stress can lead to more serious problems in the individual, and the family as a whole. "Intensive psychosocial intervention in inpatients and outpatients is found to have a positive impact on child and family functioning, therefore reducing stress levels" (Commodari, 2010).

Functions Of A Joint And Articular Cartilage Osteochondritis Dissecans Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), happens when a piece of tissue that covers a joint (articular cartilage) is separated from the bone. Articular cartilage protects the bones and allows joints to move smoothly, without pain. OCD most commonly affects the knee joint, but it can also occur at the ankle, elbow, or other joints throughout the body. OCD occurs mainly in children and adolescents. Mild cases of OCD tend to heal over time, especially if a child has this condition. However, severe cases may require surgery to reattach the articular cartilage to the surrounding bone. CAUSES The cause of this condition is not known. Possible causes include: Injury from repetitive motion or repetitive stress on the joint. Inadequate blood supply to the joint. Having certain genes that make developing OCD more likely (genetic predisposition). RISK FACTORS The following factors may make you more likely to develop this condition: Being a child or adolescent. Having bones that are still growing makes OCD more likely to occur. Participating in sports that put repeated force on the joints, such as distance running. Being obese. Having a family history of OCD. Having posture problems, such as bow legs or knock knees. SYMPTOMS In many cases, there are no symptoms of this condition.
