As sleep, addiction effects our behaviors and physical states of the body. Addiction can be referred to as a state in which one perceives intense intolerable desire for something because the response after contact with the stimuli simulated perceived pleasurable response. Consequently, Internet addiction has been acknowledged as a clinical diagnosis. Internet addiction is a compulsive–impulsive spectrum disorder, involving online and/or offline computer usage for excessive gaming, sexual…

Anterior Crucial Ligaments tears, commonly known as ACL tears, are the most common and most debilitating knee injuries known to athletes. Sports today have become such a fast paced style of play some that players bodies can’t keep up with the quick movements they have to perform causing sudden tears in ligaments and muscles. The ACL tears because of these quick movements, which is a significant problem because it is one of the main stabilizing ligaments in the knee. The ACL is the most…

Chapter I The Problem and Its Scope Introduction The shoulder contains complicated groups of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae all involved in humeral and scapular kinematics (Terry & Chopp, 2000). Regular use of the arms can result in fatigue of shoulder musculature, which could lead to altered scapular kinematics during humeral elevation (Tsai, McClure, & Karduna, 2003). These changes in scapular kinematics can potentially lead to shoulder problems such as impingement syndrome,…

and stability are the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) (“Knee Anatomy”). The top of the tibia is also covered by menisci acting mainly as shock absorbers (“Knee Anatomy”). As Cowl turned sharply to avoid being tackled, he felt a pop in his right knee. Following Cowl’s injury, an anterior drawer test, a Lachman test, and a pivot shift test were all performed. Through these…

stronger and larger than the anterior cruciate ligament, unlike the ACL, contact injuries are more likely than non-contact due to its fibrous qualities. Furthermore, the PCL sits behind the ACL attaching to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia, anteriorly moving to the intercondylar fossa of the femur. This prevents the tibia to extend too far backwards and the femur slipping forwards. Conversely, the ACL crosses in front of the PCL. It connects to the anterior area of the tibia and…

Lateral epicondylitis is the most common type of myotendinosis which can cause pain and loss of function (Dilek, 2016). This condition is often called tennis elbow because it is most commonly found in tennis players. Although lateral epicondylitis is an injury that many people can get from there daily jobs, a case study of a seventeen-year-old male who was playing tennis developed lateral epicondylitis. Lateral epicondylitis is treated by doctors and is confirmed by radiologists. The boy in the…

Legs are an important part of human life. Humans use their legs in almost every aspect of their life. For athlete's, legs are also very important. One important muscle group of the leg includes the quadriceps muscles, otherwise known as the quadriceps femoris. The quadriceps are made out of four other different muscles, that all work towards a specific function for the body. Although it might not be one of the most important muscles, the quadriceps muscles are a very important leg muscle that…

Your tibia is a very hard bone to break. Most broken tibias are caused by strong collisions, such as vehicle crashes, and sports injuries. In the majority of the cases involving a broken tibia, it is often very noticeable. Some symptoms include unbearable pain, inability to walk, deformity or instability of the leg, bone “tenting” the skin, bones protruding through the skin and the loss of feeling in the lower extremity in which the injury occurred. After the break of the tibia, you should seek…

The most common knee injury is an ACL sprain also known as Anterior Cruciate ligament. The ACL runs from the back of the femur to the front of the tibia preventing the tibia from moving forwards and to stabilize the structure of the knee. The ACL prevents excessive twisting, straightening and bending of the knee…

shoe inserts to lessen the impact, and create an arch in my foot. Some other treatments to try if you’ve simply just overworked the muscle is by stretching. If you have medial shin splints you should stretch your Achilles. If your shin splints are anterior, then you should stretch your calves. If you choose to continue running and working those muscles, then wrap your leg before you go out. Use either tape or an Ace bandage, starting just above the ankle and continuing to just below the knee. If…
