2015). What even is a meniscus? Menisci are crescent-shaped portions of fibrocartilage located in the knees and can actually be found in other joints, but injury primarily takes place in the knees. These injuries are also closely associated with ligament sprains (Lewis, S. M., 2011). Alone, this type of damage does not usually cause significant edema or swelling due to the fact that most of…

Injuries affecting the lower limb are very common in all walks of life and can affect anyone at any age.

The most important element is to find out what is causing the pain in your hip, knee or ankle. At Wellness In Motion Chiropractic Center, we make sure that the underlying cause of pain is first identified and this may include…

Q-Angle is defined as, the measurement of the angle between the quadriceps muscles and the patella tendon and provides useful information about the alignment of the knee joint. The Q angle gives an idea how the thigh muscles functions to move the knee and also how the knee cap (patella) tracks in the groove of the knee joint. A normal knee cap should move up and down within the groove with flexion and extension of the knee. When the Q angle is excessive, the knee cap tends to track out of…

Chapter I The Problem and Its Scope Introduction The shoulder contains complicated groups of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae all involved in humeral and scapular kinematics (Terry & Chopp, 2000). Regular use of the arms can result in fatigue of shoulder musculature, which could lead to altered scapular kinematics during humeral elevation (Tsai, McClure, & Karduna, 2003). These changes in scapular kinematics can potentially lead to shoulder problems such as impingement syndrome,…

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 inward) stress to the knee and lateral collateral ligament(LCL), this ligament prevents varus (force from the inside of the knee,forcing the knee outward) stress to the knee. Another ligament in the knee is the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), this ligament prevents…

Introduction Bench Press Exercise: The bench press is a key exercise in strength and conditioning programs. It is one of the most popular exercises amongst competitive and recreational athletes. The bench press commonly measures and evaluates upper-body strength, muscle-mass, power and, in some cases, muscular endurance. The lift is typically performed lying supine on a bench using a barbell. There are several variations of the bench press exercises to include the wide-grip bench press,…

disease. Patient had sites with class I and II mobility which indicates the degree of attachment loss. However, there other numerous factors that contribute to this condition. As the patient had no adjacent and opposing teeth to 25, the periodontal ligament and bone undergoes remodeling. Tolle (2010) states excessive occlusual force (e.g. clenching) can cause secondary destruction (acting on already diseased periodontium) of the supporting structures. Patient X has a strong muscle which adds…

Introduction Patellar dislocation occurs when your kneecap (patella) slips out of its normal position. The patella is located in a groove in front of the lower end of your thighbone (femur). This groove is called the patellofemoral groove. It usually occurs toward the outside of the leg. What are the causes? This condition is caused by: Force. Sports injuries. Twisting the knee when the foot is planted. What increases the risk? This condition is more like to occur in: Women. People who play…

people, shoulder dislocations tend to arise from trauma, often associated with playing sports. These include football, basketball and volleyball. However, older patients are prone to dislocation due to the weakening of their supporting shoulder ligaments and cartilages, therefore, even small falls could lead to serious displacement of a joint. Other causes of shoulder dislocations are: Traumatic shoulder dislocations, which occur when the…
