Straight leg raise

hibernating beneath the ground. She has no idea what I want or why I expect her to do it but she eagerly sniffs around, perusing for anything that will satisfy me. I feel saliva pooling up beneath my tongue as I think about the delectable fried frog legs that will reward me after I bring home the…

places with all these needles. Everything became a blur as they gave me the anesthesia to calm me down before they took me back. I vaguely remember my parents telling me good look and the next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. My whole right leg was numb from the waist down and I was extremely groggy. I wasn’t in any pain and I was able to eat some crackers and drink some apple juice. My surgeon told my parents that the surgery was successful and they repaired all my torn ligaments and…

Companionship. On a journey like this, it’s not important. She knew that Preston would assume the she couldn’t do it alone. She thought to herself, who will I get paired with this time? As she listened to her given instructions, words putting themselves in order in her brain, understanding what needed to be done. She waited and waited. Finally he gave her, her long awaited answer. “Now for your partner.” Preston paused. “Your partner is...Adam.” he stated with serious expression. He couldn’t be…

This type of bandage is used to provide support for the ligaments and tendons located in the lower limb contralateral to the injured leg which is bearing excessive weight. This technique is similar to the previous minus the use for underlying wound dressing, inner conforming gauze layer, the wide adhesive elastic tape or tape around the top and bottom. When using a splint, the materials…

In our lives we can chose what happens in them. The sports gene is about Donald Thomas that was born with an Achilles tendon and about Stephon Holm who wasn’t born with an achilleas tendon. They compete against each other in high jumping. Thomas doesn't even have to train because of his achilleas tendon which allows him to jump higher than Stephon who does train. Into the wild is about Chris McCandless who sells all his stuff, donates all his money, and gives up his education at Emory University…

starters you can do calf raises. They will help to strengthen your calves and stretch out your Achilles. But calf raises only address one side of the muscles, ligaments and tendons that support your ankle. You have to address the front of your leg and both sides. When I was in college and sprained my ankle, the physical therapist told me to put both of my feet inside the legs of a chair and then push them outward to strengthen the outside of my…

It was a very cold and frigid sunday mornin’ in good ole’ South Carolina when I was playing ultimate frisbee. I was hot sweaty and exhausted in the cold early morning. I was the one they were going to throw the frisbee to and I looked up at the sky and the light blinded my eyes. As I was running backwards trying to catch the frisbee I almost tripped over an old wooden log. I recovered slowly from my stumble and continue to run down the wet field. As the frisbee came closer to me I could feel…

talking to Ryan, Brendon’s boyfriend. “I’m gonna go get a drink” Ryan said before walking over of the living room and towards the kitchen. I looked over at Gerard who was talking to his brother, Mikey. I felt Gerard trail his hand higher up on my leg. He kept talking to his brother acting like he wasn’t doing a thing.

The auteur theory suggests that the same can be said of directors of films, that they will be recognizable as the creative force behind each film they produce. There are three premises to auteur theory that film viewers can use to…
