pushing, pulling or wielding a heavy object or tool, a Master of Science Thesis Jijju Thomas 2 Introduction stable stance is found with all the points of contact considered. When producing a pushing force, a human’s stance often consists of either one foot or both feet displaced some distance from the object being pushed. The two stances are called the ‘feet-apart’ pose and the ‘feet- together’ pose as shown in Figure 1-1. An angled-body posture, by displacing the center of mass both forward…

is the result of repetitive friction to the tissue. Repetitive friction is due to abnormal forces at the knee, most likely in the kneecap and surrounding musculature, or may be caused by muscular weaknesses or structural abnormalities at the hip or foot, which place increased tension on the knee. “Plica syndrome can also be caused or made worse by increased activities. In some cases, a direct hit to the knee can cause the syndrome to develop”.1 Other factors that may contribute to Plica…

¬ According to CSEP-PATH, 2013, as a female between the age group of 18 years old to 39 years old, the mean values for eyes open is 45 seconds, and eyes closed is 13.1 seconds. My eyes open best time, is normal because it is 45 seconds. This shows that I have good static balance, and leg strength. However, when my eyes are closed my scores fall below the mean value of 13.1 seconds. This is mainly because vision was absence. Furthermore, I did the eyes closed trial immediately after the eyes…

kayaking, assuring me the river was easy to navigate and harmless. As we paddled down the river, he casually mentioned the giant waterfall coming up. Waterfall? He never mentioned a waterfall. I was internally freaking out as he described the twenty foot drop we were about to face. My heart started racing as I imagined the headline, “17-year-old Kid Dies Kayaking the Cartecay.” As my kayak approached the death…

What is Achilles Tendinitis? The Achilles tendon in the back of your foot is the tendon that assists with a variety of activities.

There are two kinds of Achilles Tendinitis. One kind of tendinitis impacts the bottom portion of the tendon, and this kind of pain and swelling can occur in people who have had an injury…

Injury Rates among Long Term Minimally Shod Runners Numerous studies have examined how standard shod runners transitioning into minimal shoes experienced changes in their landing kinematics, foot musculature, and arch conformation (Miller, Whitcome, Lieberman, Norton, & Dyer, 2014). Although many studies show how standard shoes can negatively affect feet musculature, arch conformation, and change landing, no studies show whether transitioning into minimal shoes actually leads to less injury.…

was pitching. First pitch a little outside but i still swing and i connect. I run to first as my brothers race to the ball. I step on first and I hear and feel the rock crack under my foot. A chill goes through my body as i'm walking back to home plate followed by a pain squeeze in my foot. I look down to see my foot in a blanket of blood. I rush inside to find my mom and behind me follows the trail of blood. After we wash it off and wrap it in a towel my dad rushes me to the ER. He pulls to…

every time he put a foot down, he was obliged to cry as he sat on the dug out steps…his feet were absolutely raw…when he left, the MO said he would not be surprised if the man did not lose both feet. Clearly, gumboots caused more problems than they solved. Even when they did not flood, the condensation from the mens’ feet kept their socks perpetually wet as the gumboots’ rubber exterior prevented their sweat from evaporating. This meant that men often contracted trench foot or frostbite faster…

Through combined explication of these works, this paper will delineate the possible origins of footbinding before juxtaposing various interpretations of the cultural significance of the practice, the ideas of chastity versus eroticism regarding the bound foot, and trance the expectations of sexual difference between women and men into modern…

want anybody to see my scar, so I was trying to hide it with anything and from everybody even my mother. She tried to make me get rid of this suffering. Sometimes she hid all my socks, but I could find one and I only wore it on my left foot. I could not accept how my foot looked like. I saw the wound like an evil and the black thread like its eyes. After several days my mother decided to get rid of all the socks at home. This could minimize my problem and get rid of inferiority complex. When I…
