In the essence of lawfully securing the ability to invade and search someone else’s property to look for evidence of a crime, two approaches have been examined. One being the totality of circumstance approach which states that all facts and circumstances in the given situation should be looked at in each case individually, meaning that the whole picture needs to be examined in order to determine if there is probable cause to enter someone’s property for searches and seizures; the other approach being the Aguilar-Spinelli two pronged test, which was developed in Aguilar v. Texas and Spinelli v. United States and the two requirements were that, “The magistrate must be informed of the reasons to support the conclusion that such an informant is…
Slide Board Product Information The first slide board was designed by Former Miami Dolphins football player Jeff Markland and his initial purpose was to use in the rehabilitation of injured knee joints (Lloyd, 1992). Markland created his own model, and called it Kneedspeed, after having seen Eric Heiden, a gold medal speed skater in the Olympiads using a similar product (Lloyd, 1992). Then, Markland associated with Kathy Stevens of Reebok and they developed the Reebok slide board (Lloyd, 1992). In the 1990s, slide board came into the fitness field which also is called lateral slide training, but it did not gain much popularity; because the lateral sliding movements seemed unnatural if you lack the inner thigh strength to boost your bodies across the board (Lloyd, 1992).…
Doctor Russel, While discretion is a mandatory component of our job, I am seeking your advice in particular because I know you to be a trustworthy man. If you haven’t heard already, Philadelphia Eagles’ star receiver Derrick Cowl was recently injured in a game against the Chicago Bears. After assessment by the team’s trainer and an orthopedic in Philadelphia, a tear of the right ACL and damage to the right medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus was confirmed. About 2 years ago I treated a similar injury sustained by a prospect receiver, Jamie Nelson, at Ohio State, which is why I assume I was referred for this case.…

Ryan Fussy, Teddy Bridgewater, Derrick Rose, these are just a few examples of people that have experienced the dreadful injury. Everybody wonders what really happens when athletes or someone they know goes down with an ACL injury. Ryan Fussy’s story is very simple, he was running at football practice, he planted his foot in a bad position and it all went downhill from there. Teddy Bridgewater had almost the exact same thing happen to him at highly supervised and quarterback friendly NFL practice. Derrick Rose has had multiple ACL injuries and they all resulted from awkward footing while moving at high speeds.…
The purpose of this systemic review was to determine the level of evidence with hip strengthening or neuromuscular training and the effect on frontal plane knee kinematics and kinetics. Female athletes have a high risk of ACL injury. Athletes who are runners or play sports that involve running and jumping are at the highest risk for noncontact injuries. This is associated to the position of the knee during landing. Females typically land with a valgus force to the knee.…
This study found that there was no significant difference in the subacromial space for the two tests. When comparing scapular motion, it was found that during the FC test the subjects had less upward rotation, greater posterior tilt, less clavicular elevation, and less clavicular protraction when compared to the EC…
POP! Your ACL just snaps in half. The pain is unbearable. It feels like your knee is just hanging because nothing is holding the back part of your knee together. You are scared to get the MRI results back because it is a huge setback.…
The Injury The ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament attaches from the front of the tibia to the back of the femur. It is an important ligament in which keeps the tibia from sliding too far forward in relation to the femur bone and provides stability to the knee joint in sagittal plane movements. Injuries to the ACL are very common in individuals who have the knee in an awkward position such as stopping suddenly while jogging or sprinting, a rapid change in direction, and an abnormal landing stance that leaves the knee joint locked. Your ACL can be injured if your knee joint is bent backward, twisted, or bent side to side.…
Research by Hambly and Griva (2010) attempted to assess how well the IKDC and KOOS measure symptoms and disabilities important to post-ACL reconstructed patients by having subjects complete a survey. Subjects for this study were recruited from the knee guru website, which is an online forum for patients with different types of knee pathologies. Inclusion criterion was set as initial ACL reconstruction. Subjects who underwent revisions or had multiple ligament repairs were excluded from the study. The sample size was compromised of 126 subjects, consisting of 61 males and 65 females.…
The First Amendment would not permit a law that makes it a crime to be a member of an identifiable “terrorist” organization because their actions are likely to pass the Brandenburg test. The Brandenburg test, established in Brandenburg v. Ohio, requires that speech be “directed to and producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite and produce such action” before it can be Constitutionally abridged (Brandenburg, 981). The Brandenburg test established the modern interpretation of limitations on First Amendment principals. Previously, the clear and present danger test, as established in Schenck v. United States, was the prevailing test to determine if speech could be considered to advocate illegal conduct and thus, be excluded from…
In today’s society, injuries occur all around us: from a small paper cut, a tear of a ligament, or a bone breaking in the body. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the four central ligaments that stabilize the knee (Ref). This ligament prevents the tibia from sliding from the front of the femur and runs diagonally in the middle of the knee (ref). It is estimated that 70 percent of these tears occur through non-contact, while the other 30 percent occur from direct contact, whether it be from an outside object or player in sports (ref). This injury may occur when an individual is decelerating immediately while sidestepping, which may cause an uncomfortable landing on the knee joint (ref).…
The player suffering the syndesmosis injury is an amateur rugby player aged sixteen years old male and is still in high school. The player is young and puberty is still occurring therefore, growing cartilage is more vulnerable to stresses compared to adults where cartilage has formed (Adirim and Cheng, 2003). This suggests that young adolescents are more susceptible to injury because stresses to growth plates can severely affect coordination and balance, resulting in poor motor skills (Wulf and Shea, 2002). A subjective and objective assessment carried out by the physiotherapist using subjective, objective, assessment and plan (S.O.A.P) notes; this is a standardised medical evaluation for clinical records (Maggs, 1996).…
