Psychology Lab Research Question: Why do older adults show a decrease on postural control? Hypothesis: Older adults with decreased knee or ankle threshold joint position sensation would show decreased postural control. • Threshold joint position is a test of sensory sensitivity used to quantify each subject’s proprioceptive abilities Methods: • 22 women and men, 70 yoa or older • all subjects had threshold joint position testing at ankle (plantar and dorsiflexion) and knee joints…

Sever’s disease is correspondingly known as calcaneal apophysitis. Calcaneal Apophysitis is a traction apophysitis of the insertion of the Achilles tendon into the calcaneus. It habitually arises in children, most frequently in young males’ ages 10 to 12 who are in a vigorous sport, and is very infrequent in children who have grasped puberty.

the humerus. The pectorals major flexes, medially rotates and adducts the humerus. Second, the deltoid originates from the lateral half part of the clavicle (anterior fibers), the acromion of the scapula (lateral fibers) and the spine of the scapula (posterior fibers). All the fibers merge on the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus.The anterior fibers flex and rotate the humerus medially. The lateral fibers abduct the humerus. The posterior fibers extend and laterally…

An ankle brace is a stretchy or stiff garment that provides constraint and strengthens the supporting action of the ankle ligaments.

Your knee joint, consisting of the tibia and femur, extends as your thigh muscles contract and your hip, which is made up of your…

include the wide-grip bench press, close-grip bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press, dumbbell chest press, reverse-grip bench press or machine-based. The prime movers in the bench press are the pectoralis major, triceps brachii, and the anterior deltoid, with the medial deltoid and rectus abdominis acting as a stabilizer muscle (Kellis et al., 1998). Common Injuries Although bench press exercises are the blueprint of upper-body strength and power gains, injuries are common,…

which allows humans to run, jump and perform various other activities which require moving.The ankles location is inferior to the tibia and superior to your phalanges or toes.

DEFINATION OF PLANTAR FASCITIIS Plantar fasciitis is a very common cause of heel pain.

If the plantar fascia is strained, it gets swollen, weak and inflamed as a result the bottom of the heel or foot hurts as we attempt to stand or walk. Plantar fasciitis usually occur in middle-aged people or younger individuals who require lots of standing such as soldiers and athletes. It…
