Bones of the lower limb

no ankles? Ankles are crucial to our movement and play a huge part in moving our feet and walking. The ankle is a large joint made up of three main bones. These three main bones are the tibia, the fibula and the talus which all join together to make the ankle joint which helps control movement in your foot.The ankle contributes to a lot of lower limb stability which allows humans to run, jump and perform various other activities which require moving.The ankles location is inferior to the tibia…

these leg injuries in children and teens occur from playing sports or falls. The risk for these types of injuires increase during contact sports and high-speed sports. Older adults have a higher risk for injures because of the lack of muscle mass and bone strength. Acute injuries may occur from a direct blow, a fall, or from twisting, jerking, or bending abnormally. Types of Leg Injuries There are many different areas of the…

Lenny’s left lower limb was shown to be adducted and medially rotated causing the right limb to be longer than the left. A mass in the lateral gluteal region was also noted with severe pain to follow. The patient is most likely suffering from a posterior hip dislocation. A hip dislocation can damage the bones, ligaments, muscles, vessels, and nerves of the region. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint composed of the head of the femur bone and the acetabulum of the pelvic bone. A band of…

Different types of these substitutions include limb, neck, and dental prostheses. Over the years, doctors and therapists have created new versions and designs of these prosthetics using technology, such as computers. In particular, limb prostheses can simplify and completely turn around an individual’s life who had implications causing difficulty on their daily activities, such as walking or writing. Limb prostheses consist of both upper and lower attachments. Upper extremity prostheses are used…

The human body has many unique attributes. What make the body function are organs that make up the body. Within those organs are cells that cause the organs to function. There’s a cell, which mainly hold the bones of the skeleton together, so we aren’t a puddle of mush. The muscle has amazing cells structures in the body. Because every part of our body acts as a working machine all organs of the body are equally significant. The skeletal muscle in the body is a very important portion of the…

generated by hip muscles is affected. These biomechanical disadvantages result in hyperlordotic posture and load increment at the intact limb. As the consequences, TFAs have a high risk of getting back pain and knee osteoarthritis at…

wheelers and two wheelers involving mainly pedestrians were the most common cause for fatal head injury seen in 66 cases, 66%.

Kuhr, Joanna Ramos, Zachary Buck 1) Etiology/Pathogenesis of Phantom Limb Syndrome In order to understand a little about Phantom limb syndrome, we must first understand normal function of a body intact and its sensory and motor pathway. The body uses electrical impulses in the form of chemical exchanges in the neurons, or nerve cells, to pass along information. Normal body function indicates that as the extremity (upper or lower extremity) receives a stimulus, an electrical impulse is sent…

Femur, the bone of thigh, also known as os femoris, is the longest and strongest bone of human body. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum of hip bone forming the ball and socket variety of synovial joint-the hip joint, whereas the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and patella forming the knee joint. The anatomy of the proximal end of the femur, in recent years had received the much deserved attention because of the importance of early treatment of congenital…
