Dorsiflexion

In the recovery phase of the exercise, there is a hip flexion and also a slight abduction. The knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion are the joint movements involved. The effort phase includes hip extension and slight adduction, while the knee extension and ankle plantar flexion are the movements involved. If you use dumbbells, your client can add shoulder flexion (sagittal…

Left PROM lower extremity is limited in hip flexion 0-114, hip extension 5, hip abduction 35, and hip internal rotation 15, knee flexion 0-106, and hip external rotation 30. The lower extremity ankle dorsiflexion, ankle plantarflexion, ankle eversion, could not be assessed due to tone. Right lower extremity AROM was limited for hip extension 13, hip abduction 39, and ankle plantarflexion 62. Left lower extremity AROM was limited for hip flexion 0-110, hip…

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise 46.6 (2014): 1067-076. Web. Monday Apr. 2016. The purpose of this assignment was to find a biomechanically related research article that we find interesting and present a written summary of the article. I chose to read an article called “Jogging Biomechanics after Exercise in…

DOI: 1/19/2006. The patient is a 59 -year-old male housekeeping aide who sustained a work-related injury to his neck, head and low back when the elevator he was riding suddenly drops causing him to fall backwards. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with status post cervical spine fusion; chronic pain syndrome; radiculopathy, cervical region; spinal stenosis, cervical region; and cervicobrachial syndrome. According to OMNI notes, the patient had cervical discectomy and fusion, lumbar strain…

DOI: 3/11/2011. Patient is a 46-year-old male stationary engineer who sustained a work-related injury when he fell from a ladder onto his right side while fixing a valve. He is status post right knee arthroscopy on 10/8/12, status post right foot fusion surgery on 9/25/13 and hardware removal surgery on 5/28/14, and status post right shoulder surgery on 12/12/11. Based on visit note dated 06/23/15, the patient presents for follow-up of neck, upper extremity, right hip, right shoulder,…

Hip flexion (Primary), knee flexion (secondary), ankle dorsiflexion (secondary) 1b. Quadriceps group (Primary), hamstring group (primary), gastrocnemius (secondary), soleus (secondary), gluteal group (secondary) 1c. Backs squats translate into hip and knee power production used in lifting a flyer. This exercise…

Movement analysis is a major key in sports as it dissects the certain movement of muscles and joints to perform a certain action in the sport. A basketball jump shot uses all of the movement phases, from the stance phase, preparatory phase, movement phase, follow-through phase and recovery phase. The jump shot has gradually evolved in the NBA, and is considered one of the most important and most commonly used shot in basketball. There are many sharpshooters in the NBA, like Kevin Durant, Stephen…

Although dance does not come to mind first in regards to rigorous sport, it is truly a highly demanding activity on the physical body. Many begin dancing at age four or five, ahead of them a long career of repetitive practices for endurance, lower extremity strength, and extreme flexibility. Thus, dancers are prime candidates for overuse injuries, especially as age increases. The foot complex is the most frequently injured body part in dance, as seen through studies claiming its comprising of…

Common leg injuries are some of the most inhibiting and destructive injuries that can occur. Countless studies have been conducted to reveal if there is a way to possibly prevent these occurrences. Symptoms often develop from everyday usage, overuse, or an injury. Leg injuries are most likely to occur from sports activities. Most of 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…
