Joints

There are three bones that meet to form you knee joint. There is your thighbone which is you femur, you shinbone which is your tibia, and you kneecap which is your patella. Articular cartilage covers the ends of the tibia and the fibula, also the back of the patella. Bones are connected through ligaments, our knees have four main ligaments. Two of the ligaments in our knee is the medial collateral ligament (MCL), this ligament prevents valgus (force from the outside of the knee, forcing the knee…

Question 1 Biceps brachii-found in the arm with two heads, and is parallel with the body. "At the point when a parallel muscle contracts, it abbreviates and gets bigger in measurement". Extensor digitorum-a lower arm muscle that develops the finger joints is uni-pennate. Flexor carpi Muscles-Allows the wrist to flex and snatch, it is a shaft muscle shape with a long ligament. Transversus abdominis-its umbrella molded and is for stance arrangement and is situated in the stomach. Rectus femoris-Is…

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.…

Introduction The sacrum movement is not in relation to the ilia. The relationship between the ilia and the sacrum is that the ilia strengthens and provides stability. The ilium articulates with the sacrum forming the sacroiliac joint which combines to other structures forming the pelvis. The pelvis is used for weight bearing in many position. In the study performed by Gordon Alderink he explains the correlation between the pelvis sacrum and ilium. The author states, “The pelvic bony structure is…

at the end of the thigh bone called the femoral condyles. The patella sits in a groove between the femur and the Tibia. The patella is called a floating bone because most bones come to a joint and are connected but the patella is held just by the quadriceps tendon it's not connected to other bones or being a joint so that's why it’s called a floating bone. I was playing a lacrosse game and the ball was passed to me by the goalie and it was over my head just enough that I had to jump for the…

slow down and produce much less of the gooey liquid known as synovial fluid, which lubricates our joints. Synovial fluid is like a clear and slippery water that is filled with lipids (predominant fat) and proteins, which cushion the cartilage, permitting the joints to move conveniently. As these main fluids shrink, wear on the cartilage increases, causing joint pains, weak spot and inflammation. Joint ache is particularly original and may restrict one from dwelling a full and energetic…

knee injury in which a piece of the meniscus is torn. The meniscus is a thick, rubbery, wedge-shaped cartilage in the knee. Two menisci are located in each knee. They sit between the upper bone (femur) and lower bone (tibia) that make up the knee joint. Each meniscus acts as a shock absorber for the knee. A torn meniscus is one of the most common types of knee injuries. This injury can range from mild to severe. Surgery may be needed for a severe tear. CAUSES This injury may be caused by any…

A muscle tear refers to muscle fibers being damage (Virginia 2013). A tear in the gastrocnemius can cause great risk of injury since the gastrocnemius is located between the knee and ankle joint (Virginia 2013). This can be cause by direct trauma to the calf region or sudden landing on the foot (Medial Head Gastrocnemius 2006). This injury is common in tennis players due to the constant motions of jumping and lunging (Medial Head Gastrocnemius 2006). In the first degree of gastrocnemius tear,…

STABILIZING ANKLE SUPPORT: Providing additional stability and support for ankle tendons and joints, the heavy-duty ankle brace reduces the risk of reinjury. The fully adjustable ankle brace reduces pain and pressure caused by arthritis, sprains, swelling, bursitis, tendonitis, muscle fatigue, injuries and surgery. Eliminates the need for taping up your ankle with the multi-directional adjustable straps. Great for everyday wear and for running, hiking, baseball, tennis, golf, cycling, soccer,…

contribution to the child’s development (Bauserman 2012; 489). The most common ruling in custodial cases is sole maternal custody (Canadian Department of Justice). While it is true that mothers with sole-custody generally are more satisfied than those with joint custody, it is important to note that the latter experience “lower levels of parental stress” (Gunnoe and Braver 36). This can be attributed to the fact that in these agreements, the father often has similar child rearing…
