While on patrol, I was dispatched to Troy Market Place in reference to a intoxcated male attempting to get into an 18 wheeler and leave. Upon arrival, I observed a white male in the driver seat for the rig, while it was running. Once I started exiting my patrol vehicle, the white male jumped out the driver seat and went towards the back of the rig. I then knocked on the driver door and directed the driver to step down from the vehicle. I then advised the driver why officers were there.…
Olivia Ann Tangren, born July 22, 1997, at 12:11 AM at the Mayo Clinic in Owatonna Minnesota. I weighed eight pounds eleven ounces, and was twenty-two inches long. My mom swears I had the largest head in the history of the hospital. At that time gas cost $1.20, and everyone was watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S.…
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…
• Poor ankle TJPS demonstrated significant differences in the control of their COP during quiet stance when compared with subjects with good ankle TJPS • Poor ankle plantar flexion TJPS stood on force plate, eyes open and closed, showed significant increases in COP A-P and lateral sway amp and vel • Poor ankle dorsiflexion TJPS showed increases in lateral COP amp and vel but not in A-P amp or vel • (very good and very poor comparison) TJSP demonstrated significant difference between groups • Very poor ankle plantar flexion TJPS showed increased A-P and lateral COP amp and vel across all conditions compared with those with very good ankle plantar flexion TJPS • Subjects with very poor ankle dorsiflex TJPS demonstrated sig greater lateral COP amp & vel with eyes open and greater lateral cop velocity when compared to their very good ankle dorsiflexion TJPS • Very poor subjects didn’t demonstrate a visual dependence when eyes had to be closed (dorsiflexion) • Dorsiflexion comparsions were not as great as plantar flexion comparisons • Very poor plantar flexion group had visual dependence when had to have eyes closed • Very poor plantar flexion TJPS swayed with more COP displacement amplitude than lateral & A-P controls, also showed increased velocity of cop movement in lateral and A-P…
Luiz is a physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually wounded soldier in the book We Are Called To Rise by Laura McBride. The injury he endured while he was on a mission in Iraq has left him unable to move. At the moment he is recovering from his injury with the help of special doctors in a hospital located in Washington, DC. As a result of his injury, being in a hospital has affected Luis in many ways. Luis has stayed in the hospital for a long time, therefore, his physical well-being is improving daily.…
In What is the Safest Sprint Starting Position for American Football Players?, a research article provided by the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, authors Bonnechere, Beyer, Rooze, and Serge Van Sint, state that the four-point starting position leads to a higher risk of concussion or neck injury in American football players. They also deduce from their research that there is no influence on the learning process effect in varying individuals (i.e. football players and non-players). Bonnechere et al. support their claims through the observation of biomechanics. Data was gathered from twenty-five healthy young men, twelve of whom were football players.…
Michaela P. Capulong NU 333-01: Physical Assessment for the Nursing Professional June 1, 2015 Journal 3 A good assessment technique is a strong foundation in our nursing career. Gathering an accurate history is vital in determining the etiology of a patient's problem. Also, having excellent communication skills will help nurses to collect data accurately.…
As I mentioned in the previous assignment, I want to increase my baseline 500 steps each week so that by the end of the semester I am recording 10,000 steps which is in the active range. I will continue walking around the property at work and stepping in place whenever I possibly can. I will stick to walking to the mailbox which is two blocks from home as opposed to driving up to it on my way home. If I have days where I am tired I will just give myself another pep talk. I have a pretty good support system thus far so I will lean on them if pushing myself on my own does not cut it.…

The foot and ground exert an equal and opposite force on each other. This is known as the ground reaction force.12 The position and acceleration of the runner's center of mass regulates the direction and magnitude of the ground reaction force. For instance, a runner sprinting from a standstill. Throughout the initial phase of acceleration, the body is inclined forward and therefore the center of gravity falls in front of the contact surface.…
Literature Review This experiment tests the length of a foot depending on the height of a person. According to Tremblay, the taller the structure or being, the larger the base of support is needed. This is also represented by Tremblay in the equation Height+Length of Left Foot in Centimeters+Length of Shoe in Centimeters x Shoe Size = Height in centimeters. A ratio representing this statement is 6.6:1 inches.…

After stepping off with your left foot your right foot will flow forward as it pushes on the ground. The same rules apply, gravity is pushing the marcher down and the ground is pushing back. Same with friction, friction keeps the movement steady and momentum determining how fast and how far the movement will take the marcher. This time there is force. As stated, instead of a lift there is a push of the foot giving more momentum to the movement.…
The relation between age and functional skill measures reflect more than overall activity level. Infants who walk more may have more opportunities to fall, but they also begin to be better walkers and fall…
A 3-year prospective study was conducted by Herman, Giladi, and Hausdorff on 265 healthy older adults (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). The researchers evaluated the TUG test, in comparison to the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and the Berg Balance Test (BBT) in assessing the participants’ functional ability and risk for falls (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). With the TUG test, the time is recorded as the participant stands up from a chair of standard height, between 44 to 47 centimeters, and walks at a comfortable pace with or without an assistive device (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). The participant is then asked to turn, walk back and sit down and the recorded time is stopped when the participant is sitting down comfortably on the chair (Herman, Giladi, & Hausdorff, 2011). Time to complete the TUG test is dependent on the participant’s performance.…
