is the most frequently injured body part in dance, as seen through studies claiming its comprising of 27%-49% of all injuries in ballet, modern, flamenco, and tap dancers, with experience being a factor (ANKLE AND FOOT INJURIES IN DANCERS). Ankle joint compression forces have been calculated to endure five times one’s body weight while walking and nine…

Joint pains and inflammation causes Knee is that largest joint in the body. The knee is located at the juncture of three bones, the femur, the tibia and the patella. The femur (the upper leg bone) and the tibia (the shinbone) are connected by the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. The joint is cushioned by the meniscus, a tough cartilage material, during movement. The patella (or kneecap) is a small bone, encased in tendons, that glides up and down in the groove on the top of the femur…

from sliding too far forward in relation to the femur bone and provides stability to the knee joint in sagittal plane movements. Injuries to the ACL are very common in individuals who have the knee in an awkward position such as stopping suddenly while jogging or sprinting, a rapid change in direction, and an abnormal landing stance that leaves the knee joint locked. Your ACL can be injured if your knee joint is bent backward, twisted, or bent side to side. The chance of injury is higher if more…

outlined his pro-tips for healing, so you can return to life, uninterrupted. What makes that "bend" happen in the first place? The main culprit develops from an irregular amount of muscle in the toe. This imbalance presses on your toe's tendons and joints, causing "contracture," a deformity generated by the hardening and shortening of tissues in this part of the foot. Cases of heredity, arthritis, and trauma (including too tight of shoes) most often initiate…

investigations. Our work is to make sure that we deal with the problem in a non-invasive manner. What Cause Hip, Knee and Ankle Pain? The following are some of the most common cases of pain in the hip joint, Knee and ankle: Referred Pain: If there is…

Two joint range of motion (ROM) of two patients, one in upper limb and one in lower limb, are measured and the data is recorded. The first ROM measured is the angle made between shank and posterior thigh, which is the angle for knee extension. The relative position of the patient and the therapist are standardized with patient sitting over the edge of the bed, keeping the trunk straight, while the therapist standing on knees close the side of legs being measured. Moving and stationary body…

develop momentum which is used in later stages of the throwing motion. This particular phase doesn’t put a lot of strain on the body. Cocking The stage of cocking first begins when the throwing arm moves backwards and starts to extend at the elbow joint. To start, the humerus is abducted and then extended. The movement of flexion is then created at the elbow. The movement of extension then occurs at the hip and knee and plantarflexion occurs in the ankle. The center of gravity of the athlete’s…

four muscles make up the musculotendinous cuff. First, the supraspinatus muscle originates on the supraspinous fossa of scapula to insert on the superior part of the greater tubercle of humerus. It stabilizes and initiates abduction of the shoulder joint. Next is the infraspinatus fossa which originates on the infraspinatus fossa of scapula to insert on the posterior facets of the greater tubercle of humerus. It laterally rotates the humerus. Then, the teres minor originates from the lateral…

TEARS are, first you have to be able understand the structural composition of the knee, what it does and how it does these things. http://www.healthpages.org/anatomy-function/knee-joint-structure-function-problems/ The knee is one of the most complex and important hinge type synovial joints, and the largest joint in the body. It has two articulations, one with the femur and the tibia, and the second with or between the femur and patella, or knee cap. The knee is made up of four bones; the…

ACL Reconstruction is a knee surgery performed to replace the torn ACL with a piece of tendon from another part of the knee. It is commonly performed to repair the complete ACL tear – a tear in one of the major ligaments in the knee. The ACL injury that requires an ACL reconstruction commonly occurs in sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction, and sports that involve direct contact between the players that results in a mild or severe injury. The ACL reconstruction is an…
