(Cunningham, 2012). The anterior dislocation, also known as the “subcoracoid dislocation” is when the humeral head (shoulder head) lies anterior and medial to the glenoid cavity (the fossa the humeral head articulates with). With this movement of the bone it causes pain, instability and restricts the joint. Static and dynamic forces prevent this joint from relocating (Cunningham, 2012). Glenohumeral dislocations can be dealt with by manipulating the certain joints into a specific manner which…

feeling horizontal in the arms, imagine a water balance placed between the left and right elbows. 4. Visualize the rectus series of muscles Think of both sides of the rectus abdominis having equal length, from the right pubic bones to the right ribs, from the left pubic bones to the left ribs. Imagine the median sagittal plane transversing this muscle. This image will help center the spine for better turns. 5. Feel the equal length and rhythm of both sides of the neck as you turn. 6. When you…

all go hand in hand. A joint is defined by two or more bones that meet. However, with the use of fibrous connective tissue, ligaments allow the joints to be held together. Ligaments are what prevent us from moving in an undesirable plane, another purpose they serve is that they limit the range or extent of normal movement (Wallace 2013). Unlike ligaments where the bone might be attached to another, tendons are fibrous tissue connecting the bones to the surrounding muscle. With this in mind,…

Your joints allow your skeleton to move. Your shoulders, elbows, hips and knees are places where your bones meet. Joint pain may be caused by many conditions and mainly consists of soreness, aches and discomfort in the area where the bones join. Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain as is injury or illness. There are two main forms of arthritis, which are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The American College of Rheumatology considers osteoarthritis more common in…

The normal structure of a normal person will have a healthy joint and healthy bone structure. Bone is a structure that give supports to human body, while joint is the part of human body that helps in movement and they works well to provide locomotion. The changes in the normal structure occurs when the white blood cell that act as a body immune system attacks the joint tissues, which causes the joint tissues to suffer inflammation or also known as synovitis. Synovitis is the condition where…

52-54), or other idiopathic etiologies contribute to total loss of the talus (40, 43, 61-64). Furthermore, collapse of the talar body as a complication of total ankle arthroplasty (51), talectomy in infection and septic talus necrosis (60) or severe bone defects due to tumor resection (59) may result in the need…

With osteoporosis, new bone creation doesn’t keep up with old bone removal. This makes bones weak. Causes/Risk Factors Osteoporosis is a silent disease and is not often found until someone has a bone fracture. Occurs when there is an imbalance between new bone formation and old bone resorption. Two essential minerals needed for bone function are calcium and phosphate. Risk factors include aging and calcium deficiency. Osteoporosis…

cartilage. New cartilage growth is promoted by enabling blood flow; an awl is used to make microfracture holes in the surrounding bone. The common amount of holes made during this surgery can range from 5 to 15. This is determined by the size of surgical area which should range between 1 and 2 centimeters in diameter. The amount of microfacture holes made to the bone is predicated on the treatment area size (Cluett, 2016). Various imaging techniques are available to view preoperative and…

x-ray absorptiometry, they found that in the trabecular sites such as the femoral metaphysis, tibial metaphysis, and the L5-6 vertebrae but not in the cortical sites. Using bone histomorphometry, microscopic changes were then looked at specifically in the tibial metaphysis. They found that there was a narrowing in new formed bones using a calcium chelating agent that fluoresces green. They also found that there was a marked loss of calcified tissue with marrow expansion in the tibial secondary…

Visualize your life with pain, swelling, bone erosions and redness in hand and feet. How would you act in response? You wouldn’t be to understand when someone is dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) that frequently establishes itself in several joints in the body. Affecting two or three times more women than men. It can be generic .There are no cure for this chronic disease, but many aggressive treatments and medicines can help to prevent deformity of the joints. The rheumatoid arthritis (RA)…
