The Injury The ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament attaches from the front of the tibia to the back of the femur. It is an important ligament in which keeps the tibia 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…

It is one for four vital ligaments that helps provide stability, proper coordination, and prevent the tibia from moving too far forward in relation to the femur and control the amount of tibia rotates. How players easily injury…

Adductor Muscle Strain An adductor muscle strain, also called a groin strain or pull, is an injury to the muscles or tendon on the upper inner part of the thigh. These muscles are called the adductor muscles or groin muscles. They are responsible for moving the leg across the body. A muscle strain occurs when a muscle is overstretched and some muscle fibers are torn. An adductor muscle strain can range from mild to severe depending on how many muscle fibers are affected and whether the muscle…

Flat bone Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment, the outer one is thick and tough; the inner is thin, dense, and brittle, and hence is termed the vitreous (glass-like) table. It helps the body by protect. Flat bones are bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment.

Brachialis muscle was seen uniformly to be consisting of 2 heads, superficial and deep. The superficial head forming the main bulk of the muscle originated from the anteromedial and anterolateral surface of the middle third of humerus ,embracing the deltoid insertion. In addition it also had attachement to the adjoining part of the lateral intermuscular septum. Its fibers ran vertically and terminated in a thick tendon to be inserted onto the ulnar tuberosity. Fibers of…

An 10X12 IR was used to produce the image and the SID was set at 40”. The Right Phantom foot was placed in the center of the IR. The CR was aligned perpendicular to IR to medial malleoli. A 4-sided collimation was created that included outer margins of the foot and ankle. A 68kVp, a 3.2mAs and a small FS was selected. The right marker was placed in IR. PACER Patient in a lateral recumbent position, affected side down. Flex affected limb 45°. Center and align ankle joint to CR. The plantar…

The Achilles tendon is located at the back part of the heel. The tendon receives blood supply from three sources: the musculo-tendinous junction, the paratenon and distally at the tendon insertion to the bone. (Karlsson 2015) The Achilles joins the heel bone to your calf muscles, with its main purpose is plantar flexion, which is the bending of the foot downwards at the ankle. The average age of a person suffering this injury is twenty-nine to forty with a large majority of all patients being…

Copra Pose: Extension of the Lumbar Spine: Also seen in Bridge Pose and Wheel Pose, Bow Pose, Pigeon Pose and Camel Pose. The degree of back bend will depend on the amount of space between each vertebra of the lumbar spine. The greater the space the greater the degree of back bend. Also the shape of the vertebra also plays a factor as some of the spinous process’ can be bent in angles that either restrict the angle of lumbar curve or increase it. There are other skeletal differences…
