affected the position of her foot. These are most likely due to hip muscular imbalances and/or weaknesses (Daniel & Colda, 2012). Stress theory: Concepts from this theory can be applied to the client’s areas of OA. Reducing friction between bone/cartilage within the knee joint, midfoot, and patella tracking is paramount for relief. In additional, cushion can be implemented to reduce forces where fat pad atrophy has occurred. Sagittal Plane theory: A study by Baliunas et al. (2002),…

and is a degenerative joint disease. It is a leading cause of pain and disability problems for middle to elderly people (Hunter & Felson, 2006). The deterioration of the joint is caused by a process which involves the continuous loss of articular cartilage (Buckwalter & Martin, 2006). Section 1: Epidemiology of health condition and biological changes a) The extent and distribution of the health condition in NZ with specified comparisons Over 530,000 New Zealanders aged 15 or over in 2010 are…

Derrickson B., 2000, pg. 170). In every part of the body, infection and breaks occur, including this one. Osteochondritis dissecans is the loss of blood supply in part of a bone under the surface of a joint.

The normal structure of a normal person will have a healthy joint and healthy bone structure. Bone is a structure that give supports to human body, while joint is the part of human body that helps in movement and they works well to provide locomotion. The changes in the normal structure occurs when the white blood cell that act as a body immune system attacks the joint tissues, which causes the joint tissues to suffer inflammation or also known as synovitis. Synovitis is the condition where…

the knee joint. A normal knee cap should move up and down within the groove with flexion and extension of the knee. When the Q angle is excessive, the knee cap tends to track out of alignment and hence causes wear and tear (degeneration) of the cartilage behind the knee cap. (Elizabeth Quinn 2014) Through the research that I have conducted, I would say that there is not enough definitive research to agree or disagree. Yes, the increased…

According to Undermann et. al. (2005), "The differential diagnosis of slipping rib syndrome includes a variety of conditions, such as cholecystitis, esophagitis, gastric ulcer, hepatosplenic abnormalities, stress fracture, inflammation of the chondral cartilage, and pleuritic chest pain" (p. 121). Radiologic imaging is generally not useful in the diagnosis of slipping rib syndrome but may be of value in ruling out other conditions in the differential diagnosis. Slipping rib syndrome is…

In today’s society, an increase in futuristic surgical innovations and popularized social standards has positively correlated with the rise of cosmetic procedures. In my perspective, patients should have the freedom to receive these surgeries. However, these elective surgical practices aren’t always essential and can oftentimes become detrimental to our health due to malpractice. For example, rhinoplasty involves the reconstruction of nasal proportions so it can harmonize with facial structures.…
