Which Way Do You Roll? Understanding Pronation and Supination If you have frequent problems with your feet, especially if you're a runner, you may want to see a podiatrist for a gait evaluation. It's possible your feet roll to one side or the other, and this can lead to several different foot ailments. If your foot rolls to the inside the condition is called overpronation. If it rolls to the outside, it is called oversupination. Here is a look at how these two gait abnormalities differ and how…

Cast or Splint Care, Adult Casts and splints are supports that are worn to protect broken bones and other injuries. For instance, a cast may hold a bone still and in the correct position while it heals. Casts and splints may also help ease pain, swelling, and muscle spasms. A cast is a hardened support usually made of fiberglass or plaster. It is custom-fit to the body and offers more protection than a splint. It cannot be taken on and off.

Skeletal remains from Lofkënd, Corinth, Epidamnus, and Apollonia were examined to determine if the null hypothesis of changes in physical activity levels, as evidenced by osteoarthritis in human skeletons is correct. This research will test the null hypothesis that physical activity levels, as evidenced by osteoarthritis in human skeletons, remained constant at Epidamnus, and Apollonia, Albania during Greek colonial expansion (620 BCE-229 BCE). The assemblages for each site was first divided…

This skill requires many different muscles, bones, joints and their actions. Before I perform my skill I jump over the rope twice quickly and then slowly once. To jump over the rope, I use flexion to bend my elbow joint, moving my radius and ulna in a circular motion from my elbow joint and my shoulder joint uses circumduction to bring the rope over my head. My bicep brachii allows me to flex my elbow to perform this skill. I flex both my knee joints to prepare to jump the rope and to gain…

posterior cruciate ligament is the strongest ligament in the knee joint and helps with stability. Once the posterior cruciate ligament is torn or stretched, it loses its stability. There are many ligaments that make up the knee joint, also known as a hinge type joint which perform tasks such as flexion and extension. The tibiofemoral and patellofemoral are joints of the knee which aid in flexion and extension of the knee. The tibiofemoral joint adds angle and assists with knee extension. The…

recommendations. • Applying the results of the study to practice. • Providing a conclusion answering the research question. Rationale for Question: One of the most common joint disorders encountered today is osteoarthritis of the knee causing considerable pain immobility and deformity. The associated mal-alignment in the joint due to the deformity increases the progression…

a. The subtendinous olecranon bursa is located between the tendon of the triceps brachii and the olecranon process (Starkey, et al., 2011). b. Normally, this bursa is not affected, but it may become inflamed secondary to a repetitive stress on the joint (Starkey, et al., 2011). 23. Supinator a. The supinator originates on the lateral epicondyle/ supinator crest of ulna, and inserts onto the proximal portion of the radius (Starkey, et al., 2011). b. This muscle aids in the motion of forearm…
