the big toe begin to deviants from its axis and point toward the pinky toe. This causes a bony protrusion to stick out from the side of foot, on the joint of the hallux, or large toe. This is usually in women, women who wear pointy toed shoes, tight-fitting shoes, or high-heeled shoes. These types of shoes can cause deviations to occur on the joint. This can cause severe pain, and a n un-pleasing look to the foot. The bunions are caused by swelling and inflammation. Pain is usually felt a the…

conditioned as possible, which means total body conditioning that includes strength, neuromuscular control, flexibility, cardiovascular and muscle endurance, agility, speed, and balance. Specifically, the muscles surrounding the knee joint must be strong and flexible. The joints and soft tissue that make up the kinetic chain of which the knee is a part must also considered sources of knee injury and therefore must…

vessels to clot. Diathermy has positive effects for osteoarthritis due to the biological effects of the condition. Osteoarthritis is a degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone. This usually effects the hip, knee and thumb joints. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases in the world and the most affected by the knee joint. According to a randomized placebo controlled clinical trial using a pulsed shortwave treatment in women with knee osteoarthritis, the purpose of…

important for many sports, and reduced stability is toughly connected with the risk of injury. The most common knee complaints typically involve the patellofemoral joint. Internal instability of the knee refers to the damage of a variety of structures within the knee, including meniscal cartilage tears and loose bodies. Higher knee joint laxity may be an indication of an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The patient will present with soreness and instability of the…

1.What are the priorities in treating orthopedic injuries? What are the available options for stabilizing his leg? A patient that presents with multiple fractures must be fully assessed prior to initiating treatment. This patient needs immediate attention for the fractured ribs and pelvis. Flail chest, which results from multiple ribs being fractured can be a life threatening injury. A fractured pelvis can cause life threatening bleeding due to injury to structures protected by the pelvis. If…

therapy on quality of life in osteoarthritis of the knee joint: A randomized control study”, which may be accessed for free, full text, at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3193655/. I chose this topic because I have a family friend who has osteoarthritis. She is in her 50’s and has a strong desire to stay active and healthy since she has just retired. Her doctor told her that practicing yoga was just going to further strain her joints only causing unneeded and painful inflammation.…

with the body in a standing position.” Plantar flexion is a movement that is used every day, from climbing the stairs to applying the foot the pedal while driving (Contributor, 2015). Motion defined by (Lippert,2011). ‘As the process of moving joints, limbs or specific sections of the body’. Motion in relation to the plantar flex is achieved by the calf muscles, which are called the superficial muscles. These muscles share a tendon called the Achilles tendon otherwise known as the Calcaneal.…

sports, but also because of what happens later on. At the time of the injury, other tissues in the knee, including the menisci (“shock absorbers”) and the articular cartilage (the tissue that lines the bones of the joint and allows the bones to easily move past each other when the joints move) can be damaged. Even in young people, the articular cartilage can’t heal. This leads to the arthritis of the knee, often 10-15 years after the injury. Females are not only more likely to develop…
