Meniscus

This could be overcome by calibrating the spirit level. Also it takes time for it to fully reach its weight on the reading so you may move them too quick before the right weight has been set. Too add to this the propanone may not be filled to the meniscus to the 20 cm³ so this will need to be precise by looking at it from eye level. The tablets may have not been fully broken up sufficiently enough and some of the pieces may have fallen through the filter paper so this will have to be tightly…

recovery and a scar I would remember for the rest of my life. Just like that, my “good life” was thrown to a screeching halt. Right in the middle of cheerleading competition season, I completely blew out my knee, destroying my ACL and damaging my meniscus. It was my freshman year,…

Wednesday after school I observed our school athletic trainer for approximately an hour. During the hour he was not working much because winter sport season were ending so he helped any athletes who had injury that needed to be observed. While I was there, I saw a dancer get her big toe taped because she had turf toe, a hyperextension of the Hallicus. Before practice, two girl basketball players got their ankles taped because they recently rolled or sprained them. That day in sports medicine we…

state champion or a superlative scholar. My classmates will remember me as the girl who was always on crutches. Although it was problematic, it taught me some extremely valuable lessons. I have torn my MCL and ACL in my right knee, and my ACL and meniscus in my left knee. This resulted in four surgeries within three years. I attended my first day of high school on crutches only six days after my first surgery. I was not able to participate in soccer or basketball my freshman year or play in my…

have these sports helped me prepare to become a therapist? Surprisingly, playing all these sports have exposed me to many different injuries that a therapist might have to deal with. Such injuries have been; a Tommy John Surgery, torn ACL’s, torn meniscus, severely sprained ankles, dislocating of a collarbone, and a torn labrum. Throughout all of these injuries, I have got the chance to see and speak to the individuals about the type of therapy exercises that they were required to do. Having…

Each year, 50% of Americans over the age of 18 develop a musculoskeletal injury that lasts longer than 3 months. Most of these injuries can be healed naturally through physical therapy even though some people don’t know that. In some cases surgery can even make the condition worse and often hinder the patient’s mobility even more than before the surgery causing the recovery time from the accident to increase, even more surgeries as a cause of the first, or leaving them with physical impairments…

Motocross is considered to be one of the most dangerous sports. Most riders who take the sport of motocross seriously understand and accept the major risks involved with injuries. If you as a rider have not sustained injuries yourself, you certainly know someone who has. Visiting riding friends at the hospital is a common event. Sometimes it seems it is harder for the family of the rider to accept these risks than the rider himself. The risks riders take, range from minor cuts and scrapes to…

ready. After this, the measuring cylinder was placed underwater in the dish and turned upside down. Following this, the delivery tube was inserted from the bottom of the measuring cylinder. The level of water in the measuring cylinder was noted. The meniscus reading was carefully taken to avoid parallax error. A delivery tube and cork was inserted into the flask and then sealed. Peroxidase enzyme solution was taken using a 1mL syringe. A stopwatch was kept handy to note the time. As soon as…
