During a rehearsal, I fell on stage and landed on the side of my foot, overstretching and spraining the lateral tendon of my right ankle.

That day in sports medicine we were just taught how to tape ankles so Ross taught and helped me with taping and gave me some tips when I am taping a patient’s ankle.

He said she would not be…

INTRODUCTION Can you imagine how difficult the lives could be after the amputees lost their arms or legs? Their lives will not be as easy as they had before. They cannot do many things that they used to do in their normal lives when they still have their limbs. A few hundred years ago, a hand amputee could only have a hook prosthesis with limited function and social stigma for the replacement of his hand. As the technology advances, hand amputees can now have the option for a hand transplant…

“Aly we’re in Alabama, almost to Dauphin Island.” My dad mentioned as he was driving. “Yay!” I shouted as he drove on, “I can already smell the salt in the ocean it’s like I can taste it! I can see the waves and hear them crashing against each other!” 15 minutes later my dad said “We’re here!” When we got in our beach house we waited for our friends to get there and we walked straight to the beach because it was right across the street. We got to the beach and laid down our stuff I laid down on…

the forest of tree trunk legs to catch a glimpse of the royal blue gown swishing around his ankles, he grew in my eyes. Now, my relatives exclaimed, he was an adult, but I could not understand what made him this way because he had always seemed grown to me. When I was 12, I watched my other brother stride across a stage at his high school, though this time I was tall enough to admire more than just his ankles. I saw the boy who held my hand to cross a fallen tree, who covered my innocent ears…
