More disability and clinical symptoms result from OA of the knee than from any other joint” (Deyle et al., 2005). In this condition, the synovial joint of the knee is damaged overtime…

sports, but also because of what happens later on. At the time of the injury, other tissues in the knee, including the menisci (“shock absorbers”) and the articular cartilage (the tissue that lines the bones of the joint and allows the bones to easily move past each other when the joints move) can be damaged. Even in young people, the articular cartilage can’t heal. This leads to the arthritis of the knee, often 10-15 years after the injury. Females are not only more likely to develop…

Introduction The sacrum movement is not in relation to the ilia. The relationship between the ilia and the sacrum is that the ilia strengthens and provides stability. The ilium articulates with the sacrum forming the sacroiliac joint which combines to other structures forming the pelvis. The pelvis is used for weight bearing in many position. In the study performed by Gordon Alderink he explains the correlation between the pelvis sacrum and ilium. The author states, “The pelvic bony structure is…
