Geometry can be applied to a lot of professions. Physical therapy is just one of the professions that have geometry involved in their job. We all know that geometry would most likely deal with angles. So, in what particular activity does geometry help in being a physical therapist? Some of the physical therapy clinics are retraining runners when their technique causes injury and the main diagnosis always comes down to the geometry of a runner's stride. According to Moncivais (2015), “running is…

For the love of the sport, athletes often put their physical wellbeing at risk. While injuries are not always avoidable, professional and recreational athletes alike can stand to benefit from preventative maintenance.

term that refers to centering your training schedule around strengthening the muscles needed for that particular activity. Thus, a boxer hits a bag, a runner runs, and a cyclist rides a bike. Cross training is stepping away from muscle specific exercises and doing something different. Nothing extremely heavy; as a runner I don't want to lug around excess weight or bulk. I benefit…

When you lift a heavy weight (be it yourself or a barbell), your muscles contract. That contraction begins when your nervous system sends a signal to your muscle fibers. When a movement is performed over and over again, and the muscle fibers repeatedly receive an identical signal, a more efficient neuromuscular motor pattern develops. The process by which neurons become more efficient is called myelination. Through regular practice of a movement, a fatty white substance forms a sheath around…

Secondly, the length of residual femur affects hip muscle strength too. The force can be generated by a muscle is affected by the muscle force magnitude and the distance from the muscle attachment to the axis of rotation (Rassier et al., 1999). For example, the force can be generated by gluteus maximus is reduced if femur residue length is shorter. Therefore, amputees need to recruit more motor units in order to generate adequate force in walking. This can rationalise energy expenditure on…
