The KT-1000 took measurements of the average of 3 attempts, which depending on the ranges the values vary. Strength: Ligamentous strength was measured using special tests including: medial joint opening, lateral joint opening, anterior drawer, Lachman’s test and pivot joint test, which a proper measurement can be obtained in comparison to the non-afffect side. The P values were properly stated for each dependent variable. Level of Evidence:…
On 01-01-2017 at 0025 hours I was dispatched to Kinzer Street and 6th Street in reference to a motor vehicle accident. See accident report 2017-0001T Upon my arrival I made contact with Katie Clark, who was the driver of a 2001 Chrysler Sebring who started stating immediately her friends all told her not to driver. Clark advised me she had drunk a half of fifth of alcohol and that she should not have been driving. While speaking to Clark I could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from Clark’s breath and she was crying and slurring her speech and stumbling. I had Clark step to the rear of the vehicle…
For example, shod running is associated with an increased peak torque at each of the three lower extremity joints when compared to minimal or barefoot running. The most prominent increases occur at the hip and knee joints. More importantly, disproportionately large increases in the hip internal rotation torque and in the knee flexion and knee varus torques. An increase in the three joints showed weak correlations with increase stride length observed in shod runners, but an increase in the external knee varus torque was found to significantly correlate with the increase in stride length. This was found to only explain 8% of the variance in the increase while shod running (Kerrigan, Franz, Keenan, Dicharry, Della Croce, & Wilder, 2009).…
Waka was shopping in town the morning the sea came in. There was no eldest son to arrange her funeral rites, no daughter to moisten her lips for The Water of the Last Moment. The chauffeur undertook it. Next, the maid stuffed Waka’s every orifice with cotton. They were the only ones to pass the night with her body.…
The effect of the ankle's oblique axis is an obligatory internal and external rotation of the foot with plantar flexion and dorsiflexion, respectively (Fig 8).…
\item {\bf{On the issue of the study been very poorly written and both parts dealing with two control methods that appear to be independent; The authors decided to split the chapter into two (2) and this can be seen in chapter 3 and 4. By splitting, each chapters were rewritten and the previous works removed. This is because a larger part of the section are either in chapter 2 or in chapter 1. However, research works where inspiration was drawn from were left and clarity on how those works differ were pointed out in the introduction of the chapters. One of the identical figures and nearly identical sections has been deleted and reference made to them when it is required to be addressed in the other work.…
The extensor halluces longus (synergist) originates as a muscle in the middle section of the fibula and adjacent interosseous membrane and ends as a tendon is inserted at the dorsal base of the distal phalanx of the big toe. It is the prime mover in dorsiflexion of the big toe and assists in dorsiflexion of the foot. The extensor digitorum longus (synergist) originates in the lateral area of the tibia, proximal two-thirds of the medial surface of the fibula and adjacent interosseous membrane. It splits in to four tendons that attach to the proximal base of the dorsal surface of the middle and distal phalanges. This muscle is the prime mover in dorsiflexion of the toes but assists in the dorsiflexion of the…
However, with knee flexed, my hip’s range of motion was only 8 degrees (range of motion was smaller). This means that my rectus femoris in my left leg is passively insufficient. In order for it to be passively sufficient, my hip’s range of motion with knee flexed must have been 10 degrees. In the same way, my right leg’s rectus femoris is passively insufficient, with a measurement of 10 degrees when knee was relaxed, and a measurement of only 9 degrees when knee was flexed.…
Pes plano-valgus or flat foot is a mostly congenital foot problem whereby the medial longitudinal arch of the foot is flat and can become either rigid or flexible, the forefoot which consists of the metatarsals and phalanges become everted. Sufferers will have a bulge on the medial midfoot where the cuneiforms and navicular have moved out of alignment and the ankle will be…

Introduction: The Effect of Running Shoes on Lower Extremity Joint Torques, explains the two-condition experimental comparison of running shoes on 68 healthy young adults. The experiment measures data related to joint torques, specifically at the hip, knee, and ankle. The experimental process included participants first running on a treadmill barefoot, and again with running shoes. Pressure, rotation torque and joint torque were measured and compared between the two testing methods. The objective of this article is, “To determine the effect of modern-day running shoes on lower extremity joint torques of running” (Kerrigan).…
A pre-test was given before intervention and a post-test done after the intervention. The tests were a manual muscle test using an isometric dynamometer in directions of dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion and eversion, a figure eight hop test, a triple-crossover hop test, an ankle instability visual analog and a Y-Balance test. These tests were focused on the dependent variables of strength, dynamic balance, functional performance and perceived ankle instability. The independent variables were the RBP and PNF rehabilitation interventions. The control group only participated in the pre-test and post-test; where the other groups received rehab sessions three times a week for six weeks.…
During this experiment I will be looking at how pressure and force cause tension and compression on your toes (Pointe Shoe Physics, Concussion) . When you go on pointe you compress your toes into this shoe which you only stand on your toes. This causes all your weight to be all your toes. (Danielle Spector, The Pressure Pointe) My purpose is to determine how much pressure is put on toes while on pointe in different positions.…
By replacing the surface of the bone and the cartilage with a metal and plastic implant, the afflicted persons are able to walk without pain or discomfort. The ankle joint takes a lot of force from movement, mainly in the form of compression. The body’s entire weight bears down on your ankles during any step you take. The force the ankle endures is different from person to person, but the result is the same: a large amount of compressive force is on the ankle during normal movement.…
In this paper I will be discussing why core stability is important and vital to the improvement of athletic performance, preventing/relieving low back pain, and improving longevity. Also, I will discuss not only how core stability is important for each one of these areas, but also why each area is important to a given situation or person. Some people value athletic performance and I’m hoping I can help them improve through the reading of this paper. Some people are looking to prevent or relieve low back pain and I’m hoping to also provide excellent information for their reference. I will also discuss longevity and how important it is and how core stability plays a role in that area.…
