Anatomical terms of motion

“sister” anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The PCL is extends from the lateral surface of the medial femoral condyle to the posterior aspect of the tibia. The term cruciate translates to “criss cross” which describes the PCL and ACL. Due to it being posterior and the ACL being anterior, the two resemble an x when in the anterior anatomical position. The PCL is the primary restraint…

the disorder will take years before a patient will notice the major changes of appearance in the body. Even though some may notice it, there are high chances that the person that has it will not look for medical help for treating the disorder. In terms of age bracket, in children when there is an overgrowth it is often termed as gigantism. However, when it exceeds beyond the child age limit, on adults to be exact, it is highly considered as…

Injury Details Hamstring injuries comprise a significant amount of acute musculoskeletal injuries arising during sporting activities (Canale et al, 1981). Usually, athletics, football and rugby athletes are notably prone to hamstring injuries due to the sprinting demands of their sport. It is, however, a major concern that one-third of hamstring injuries will recur, possibly during the first two weeks post return to activity. A premature return to play and/or a deficient rehabilitation…

and corporial. He denied spiritual substance, yet he held that the appearances we experience are not identical with the material bodies that produce them. He thought of man fundamentally as a kind of mechanism, he even thought of state as matter in motion. Against this background, Hobbes developed in Leviathan (1651) a theory of the State, beginning with the assumption that men are by nature self-seeking and hostile toward each other. Yet finding constant hostility intolerable, they form a…

Type A fractures (84%) than B (53%). Crucial factors besides fracture type were the length of immobilization and quality of reduction. Prolonged immobilization resulted in poor outcome, showing the need for stable fixation to permit early range of motion.…

see that drawing, and also writing, are formed out of the will that lives in gesture, you have something that human nature really wants, something linked with its being and becoming” (27). Steiner believed that eurythmy is essentially a series of motions derived from what the etheric body tends to do of itself; therefore, when children participate in eurythmy, they are affected in a curative-therapeutic way, as well as in an educational sense. In addition to the therapeutic benefits of eurythmy,…

Snapping Hip Syndrome Pain and Pain Management Snapping hip syndrome is often seen in dancers, since dancers are constantly standing perfectly straight and resisting the natural posture of their body. It is a condition in which the dancer or athlete hears/ feels a snapping or popping sensation in the hip joint. For the majority of the population, snapping hip syndrome does not cause pain or discomfort, but in a sport where the athlete is constantly manipulating the hip joint, such as in dance,…

of terminology was explored as it applies to the principles and concepts of daily exercise. Detailed analysis of sports skill was performed. We considered the joints, muscles and actions that were necessary to perform a particular skill. Range of motion was evaluated, as not every joint shares the same degree of mobility. The way in which athletes regain strength after injury is different than that of the elderly. Age serves as a barrier to the amount of mobility one obtains. Exercises were…

heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord"; it is one connecting piece with no gaps throughout the entire body (MFR Treatment Centers and Seminars, 2015). Normal fascia is relaxed and shortened, like muscles, it plays a key role in stability and range of motion of the joints (The Therapy Tree, 2016). Therefore, having fascia working at its optimal level is necessary when performing everyday movements as well as more strenuous physical activities. When fascia is injured or damaged in any way, it can…
