Joints

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects many tissues but primarily attacks the joints causing inflammation as a result of the immune response. Resulting in a proliferative synovitis that is a degenerative joint irregularity process. This disease is a serious long-term clinical syndrome with restricted treatment options and deprived outcomes. There are many subsets of this disease but essentially all of them will lead to “persistent synovial inflammation and associated…

Mallet finger is when the farthest joint in a individuals finger has dropped down. The finger can usually be put into a straightened position if it is maneuvered by another person or by another hand (Cooper & Elsevier, 2007). Mallet finger will affect a client’s eating pattern because it would be hard for them to grasp the spoon. With this condition, the client will not be able to fully wrap their finger around an eating utensil or another object in general. Individuals may encounter Mallet…

Joints are where one or more bones meet another bone. They have connective tissues that hold bones together and they also permit bones to move without damaging each other. There are three main types of joints: immovable joints, slightly movable joints, and freely movable joints. Immovable joints are also called fixed joints, meaning they have absolutely no movement. The bones are interlocked and they grow together until they are fused together. Slightly movable joints permit a small…

Imagine getting dislocated joints and sunburns really easily. That’s what people with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) get easy. EDS is a genetic disorder that affect the joints and skin. There are 6 different types of this disease, Classical type, Hypermobility type, Kyphoscoliosis type, Arthrochlasia type, and the Dermatosparaxis type. The mutations for this disease happens on these chromosomes, the Classical type is mostly on chromosome 9 or 2, the hypermobility type is on chromosome 6, the…

Arthritis is inflammation in joints, and can affect one or many joints. This is common disease is not limited to just adults 65 and over but can occur in teens or children. In arthritis the joint is inflamed and this causes joint pain and limit of movement in the joint. There are around 100 types of arthritis, but two common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In rheumatoid arthritis, due to the immune system trying to heal the joints there can be a loss in red blood cells…

Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms include joint pain more commonly in small joints like in the hands…

is the largest joint in the body; the joint is vital in supporting an individual when performing functional movements such as walking, running and jumping (Hamill, Knutzen and Derrick, 2014). Ref reports the knee joint moves in all three planes. Flexion and extension is seen in the sagittal plane, whereas internal and external rotation occurs in the transverse plane and adduction/abduction can be analysed from a frontal plane view. A ligamentous tissue capsule surrounds the joint, supporting the…

Osteoarthrosis(OA), is a type of joint disease that results from the breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone.[1] The most commonly involved joints are those near the ends of the fingers, at the base of the thumb, neck, lower back, knees, and hips. Joints on one side of the body are often more affected than those on the other. It can affect work and normal daily activities. Unlike other types of arthritis, only the joints are typically affected.[2] This popularity in applying…

radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and palmaris longus. A tendon is part of the muscle that attaches muscle to bone. The flexor tendons and extensor tendons are strong, fibrous tissues that exchange the forces created by the muscle to the bone, allowing the joint to produce movement. The flexor tendons help the fingers and wrist bend downward, while the extensors tendons help the fingers and wrist bend upward. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue made of collagen that connect bone to bone. There…

The doctrine of extended joint criminal enterprise has attracted significant criticism. Much of this criticism is based on the perceived capitulation of legal principle to policy; though the doctrine is of some prosecutorial utility, it lacks legal coherence – it overextends criminal liability to individuals for crimes to which they have neither agreed nor committed. This essay will first try to explain this unwieldy doctrine before considering its criticisms and rationalisations. Most…
