pelvic, and lower extremity joint motion during a 10 m walk. Reflective markers were used bilaterally over the acromion, ASIS, anterior mid-thigh and tibial tubercle, medial and lateral femoral condyles, medial and lateral malleoli, dorsum of foot, calcaneus, and over the sacrum.Gait analysis was used to measure the changes in walking speed, joint motions, cadence, posture, and symmetry of the patients as they walked. – include how the gait analysis was…

The Achilles tendon is one of the largest and strongest tendons in the body, stretching from the bones of the heel to calf muscles. It allows patients to extend their foot and point their toes to the floor known as plantar flexion. Despite its strength, the Achilles tendon is vulnerable to injury. Due to its limited blood supply and the high tensions placed on it, an Achilles rupture is a common injury. When the Achilles tendon is torn or ruptured it can either be partial, or a complete tear.…

P1 the structure and function of the skeletal system The structure of the skeletal system is very diverse and complex, made up of many different components that all work together to perform certain functions, without these individual components the whole body would fail to work efficiently when attempting to preform even the easiest of tasks. Structure of skeletal system One vital section is the axial skeleton this is the component of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and…

Essonia Bolden Mrs. Berch Health Science IV Decemeber 8, 2014 Ankle Sprains Ankle sprains are the most common injuries in the United States. Approximately 1 million ankle injuries occur each year, 85 percent of those injuries are ankle sprains.

History of Present Problem: The patient is a 40-year-old Caucasian female who presents to clinic accompanied by her husband for evaluation and treatment of left ankle pain. The patient was involved in a motor vehicle accident at age 19 and sustained an open fracture and dislocation of left bi-malleolar ankle fracture as well as a torn right anterior cruciate (ACL). She underwent an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of the left ankle fracture emergently. After the left ankle healed, a right…

aimed towards the patient’s head and caudad when aimed towards the patient’s feet. These angles can be used to elongate or foreshorten parts of the anatomy that are the necessary focus of a radiographic study. Some examples include the tangential calcaneus and axial cranium projections. These directional changes of the tube can be very beneficial when trying to diagnose certain fractures, blastomas, and other assorted pathologies that would have been difficult to see on a radiograph with…

Relieving Pressure and Ulceration Through the Application of a Sheepskin Mattress Introduction The purpose of this critique to provide an analysis of a quantitative study that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a sheepskin mattress (SSM) in relieving pressure, which causes ulceration, compared to the use of a standard hospital mattress as well as a comparison with an air mattress (AM). Pressure ulceration forming in patients during hospital stays is a frequent ailment, however,…
