Definition : Gastrocnemius strain is injury to muscle. Also known as Tennis leg. The strains are injuries affect tendons ,muscles and thick band that attach muscle to bones. (Dixon,2009) The grades of strains: Characteristics Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Muscle or tendon damage Few fibers torn Less half fibers torn Rupture Swelling Mild Moderate-severe Moderate-severe Muscle spasm Mild Moderate-severe Moderate-severe Range of motion decrease Decreased Decreased Increased or decreased…

and then return to the midline for heel strike. This type of gait pattern is common among cerebrovascular accident (CVA) patients or any form of head injury causing motor cortex or cerebral damage. With a CVA patient, their foot is set in plantar flexion and possibly dragging the floor which forces them to swing their leg out during ambulation. With an abducted gait the patient’s…

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…

movement in different ways including wrist positions such as fully flexed, partial flex, neutral, and extended measured through the use of a hand dynamometer. In our observations we found that the Mean Rectified EMG increased in correlation with wrist flexion. In addition, after the wrist hit neutral and extended the opposite way…

DOI: 8/28/2014. The patient is a 55-year-old male laborer who sustained injury when he was involved in a vehicle collision while moving his vehicle from one area of parking lot to another. Per OMNI, he was initially diagnosed with sprain at the back, neck, shoulder, bilateral legs and ankle. Based on the acupuncture progress report dated 03/22/16, the patient presents for his 6/8 visit for his cervical and lumbar spine. He reports excellent pain relief with treatment, more tolerable pain levels…

in meeting those goals. In addition, there are no reports from PT evaluation available for review. Number of sessions of PT completed to date in not clear from the progress notes. Furthermore, on exam there was increased ROM of the lumbar spine on flexion and extension. There was minimal spasms and tenderness noted over the lumbar spine. Improved ROM was noted on dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the right ankle. Recommend…

CrossFit was founded in the 1980s by former high school gymnast Greg Glassman and his wife, Lauren. After graduating from high school in 1974, Glassman took a job as a physical trainer at the Pasadena, YMCA. Where he worked with professional athletes, emergency responders, and other specialized athletes, as well as with the general public. He was surprised to find that many of his supposedly “well-trained” clients were lacking in some skills that might be thought to be essential in their lines…

jump from a static position of ankle, knee and hip flexion of specified degree. A countermovement jump is that the athlete starts from a standing position, makes a preliminary downward movement by flexing at the knees and hips, then immediately extends the knees and hips again to jump vertically up off the ground. One more is the depth jump. This jump describes the execution of a vertical jump after landing from a drop of a specified height, the flexion of the landing and the following extension…

plantar flexion, 18 degrees of inversion, 18 degrees of eversion. The patient denied any adverse pain during the range of motion assessment. Manual muscle test to left ankle demonstrated 4-4+/5 strength. Again, the patient denied any adverse pain during exertion. Today's treatment consisted of evaluation x20 minutes, followed by therapy to exercise consisting of active assisted left ankle mobility activities in all planes, followed by strengthening exercises for dorsiflexion, plantar…
