Summer Rewind I set three original goals for the course at the beginning of a semester. They were: to become a better listener, to write engaging speeches that will make my audience want to keep listening, and to become more comfortable speaking in front of an audience. The goal of becoming a better listener was a goal I knew I would really have to work at. Throughout the semester I really tried to focus in and eliminate all other distractions around me so I could focus on the speech I was…

Every athlete’s worst nightmare is getting hurt. One of the worst feelings in the world is not being able to compete and having to watch your team compete without you. One of the most severe injuries an athlete can have is the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This requires an extensive recovery and some athletes never fully recover. There is a lot that goes into an ACL injury and also its recovery. First of all, the ACL is a ligament in the knee. The knee joint is the…

It is clear at this point that early hominids actively hunted early in their emergence and hunting has altered the way in which social interactions developed. The hunting hypothesis became widely supported to explain the origin of bipedalism or to interpret early human adaptation to savannas and the early archaeological record. Apparent confirmation of the hunting hypothesis came with archaeological evidence demonstrating that predation had always been a part of human society. Though with that…

I remember the question from my kindergarten class like it was yesterday, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Of course at the time, I wanted to be a princess, vet, rock star, teacher, or doctor. I’d stand up, proud with a smile on my face, and rattle off the list. Looking back on that moment in time, I would’ve never guessed what my dream was going to be. I was always the kid looking to help others, go the extra mile, make adjustments, and put a smile on your face. I fell in love with…

In just the past one hundred years, the world has gone from new weaponry for the world wars such as tanks and other firearms. To nowadays, having robots replace human jobs and other machines replace such human ingenuity. With the increase in human reliance on technology, we have been using robotics which is a branch of engineering and science, to further our efficiency on certain tasks such as the manufacturing of goods. However while these robots are already influencing the manufacturing world…

Proprioception is often overlooked in the rehabilitation or rehab process. However, it is vitally important in order to restore normal function to an injured body part. Since proprioception is a person’s ability to coordinate movements and determine how much effort is needed in order to move something, it is critical to practice these types of movements in rehab before returning the patient to activities. Once an injury occurs, the body will protect itself and begin to shut down in certain…

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) was first identified by Sir Ashley Cooper in 1921 and was further evaluated by Rob and Standeven in 1958 (McKenzie). Thoracic outlet syndrome is a nonspecific diagnosis that refers to an array of conditions caused by compression of the neurovascular structures that pass through the thoracic outlet (Nichols). These conditions can be named based on their location of compression or the cause of symptoms (McKenzie). Factors that predispose patients to the development…

Muscular skeletal system Flat bones = blue (There are flat bones in the skull and the pelvis. The function of flat bones is to protect internal organs such as the brain, heart, and pelvic organs. Flat bones are somewhat flattened, and can provide protection, like a shield; flat bones can also provide large areas of attachment for muscles.) [3] Long bones = red (The long bones, longer than they are wide, include the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as relatively…
