Osteoporosis, otherwise known as porous bone, is characterized by a decrease in bone density as well as depreciation of bone tissue. Due to these conditions, there is an increased risk of bone breakages and fractures of the hip, spine, and the wrist. Both men and women are susceptible to osteoporosis; however, several preventative methods and treatments are currently out there. Here in the United States, approximately 40 million people are affected by the disease or have a higher susceptibility…

contribute to the factors that cause Osteoporosis. Nevertheless, proper nutrition plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Two key nutrients for people with osteoporosis are calcium which is a foundational substance in building bones, and Vitamin D which allows for the absorption of calcium. When looking at Vitamin D ingestion, it has been said that from the day you are born, until the age of 70, it is recommended that you intake 600 to 800 international units (IU) of…

the patellar tendon, and a deep infrapatellar bursa which is found deep to the patellar tendon, and proximal to where the tendon attaches.[1] Anatomical Structures Associated with Tendinitis Tendinitis can occur at any site of tendon insertion of a bone. Some of the most common…

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterised by low bone density weakening of bony tissue. When this occurs bones are more prone to fractures Bone loss happens without any symptoms that’s why some individuals might not know that they have osteoporosis until the bones are so weak and fragile. Women are affected by osteoporosis than men because women have lower dense bone mass and an increased rate of low bone mass especially after menopause. Primary osteoporosis is the most common type of…

Orthosis for Radial Nerve Palsy Clients, who sustain damage to the radial nerve experience a significant loss in functional use of the hand. Radial nerve is the most commonly injured nerve of the upper extremity. Orthotic fabrication for an individual with radial nerve palsy requires a balance between protecting the skin while trying to provide increased function for the extremity. Radial nerve palsy depends a lot on where the nerve is damaged. Description of the radial nerve palsy…

Achondroplasia Achondroplasia, also known as dwarfism, is a condition that causes abnormal bone growth and development. The condition is present at birth, and most people with achondroplasia will not grow to an average adult height. Achondroplasia affects the skull, spine, and bones in the arms and legs. Soft parts of bone, called cartilage, that would normally develop into hard bone do not change. This causes bones to be short and poorly shaped. Achondroplasia affects boys and girls equally.…

Canadians sustain a bone fracture every year. The majority of these fractures heal well; however, about 5 to 10% of fractures develop delayed or incomplete healing requiring additional medical intervention. While we understand some of the mechanisms controlling bone healing, an improved and in-depth understanding of the precise molecular as well as cellular mechanisms involved in correct bone formation during fracture healing is of great importance. The processes that occur during bone healing…

Imagine waking up, tripping over a rug, and immediately breaking a hip bone or shoulder without any hesitation. With the right amount of calcium in your diet, this can reform immensely for the state of one’s bone health. The root “osteo” actually means bone; moreover, Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bone is tremendously brittle, which can be preventable with the right precautions. Bones are the formation of the skeletal system in which helps with mobility and structure. Unfortunately,…

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis can be defined as the weakening of bones in the body. This makes the bones so fragile, that something as simple as a cough or a sneeze can cause a fracture to the bone. The fractures occur most in the wrist, spine, or hip. Osteoporosis can disable a person from daily activities that they are used to doing without the troubles of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can occur in any person, man or woman, of any race. There are no exceptions or exemptions. Osteoporosis has…

Bones fulfill a variety of functions, including the task of providing storage for nutrients, as well as support for the body as a whole (Bikle and Halloran 1999; Curry 2006; Pearson and Lieberman 2004; Swartz 1989). In order to accomplish those tasks, the skeletal system must have the capability to both withstand and successfully respond to internal and external pressure (Pearson and Lieberman 2004; Swartz 1989). Specifically, stature and weight, in relation to positional behavior, are…
