the Rotator Cuff repair result are the results of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair by to analyze the results to make sure whether there are any significant predictors of outcome of repair, such as age, sex, tear size, preoperative tissue quality and tendon retraction. The statistics about shoulder arthroscopy related to rotator cuff repair were more than couple years ago because many athletes will ignore their injury when they were young and they will start to notice it when they get older…

One of the main goals in the field of exercise science is to determine methods of enhancing performance during exercise or competition. When comparing methods of performance enhancement two essential theories come to mind: utilization of the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) and post activation potentiation (PAP), which both result from pre-activation (Fukutani, Misaki & Isaka, 2016, Nibali, Chapman, Robergs & Drinkwater, 2013) The SSC focuses on increases in muscle force output through a…

replacement surgery is needed when the glenoid socket is intact and only the humeral head needs to be replaced. 3. Rotator Cuff Surgery One of the most common cause of pain and disability is rotator cuff tear. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that are responsible with stabilizing the shoulder. They are important in shoulder movements and stability. If this group is damaged, rotator cuff surgery is needed to relieve pain by repairing the rotator…

drug use which “turn the athlete into an improved version of his natural self” (Gladwell). Gladwell uses Major League Baseball as an example, which “permits pitchers to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow of their throwing arm with a tendon taken from a cadaver or elsewhere in the athlete’s body” (Gladwell). In addition to performance enhancing surgeries, athletes, such as Lance Armstrong, use performance enhancing drugs. Lance Armstrong, and other members of the Postal Service…

Orthopedics comes from two Greek words, ortho, meaning straight and pais, conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgery corrects problems that arise in the skeleton and its attachments, the ligaments and tendons. It may also deal with some problems of the nervous system, such as those that arise from injury of the spine. These problems can occur at birth, through injury, or as the result of aging. They may be acute, as in injury, or chronic, as in many aging-related…

The Anterior Compartment of the forearm This paper will discuss the anterior compartment into details and the nerves and arteries that innervations it. The anterior compartment composed of three layers namely: the superficial, the immediate and the deep layer. The superficial layer consists of four muscles i.e pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, and flexor carpi ulnaris. The immediate layer comprised of one muscle, the flexor digitorum superficial muscle. The deep layer…

Replacing the torn ligament with tendon does tend to make the joint more stable than physical therapy rehab alone, which is an advantage for people who place a lot of stress on their knees. Surgery may also be the preferred route if there is additional damage to the knee—for example, if…

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), or Bechterew’s disease, is an inflammatory disease that can cause the vertebrae in the spine to fuse together. The fusing that takes place will make the spine less flexible and can lead to a curvature of the spine culminating in a stood posture. This disease predominantly affects males in their teens 20s, and is less common in women. Early signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis may include pain and stiffness in the neck, lower back, and hips. These signs and…

extend. These muscles are attached to each other by ligaments. The muscles are then attached to the bones, and thus the skeletal system, by tendons (Farabee 2001) (Allen and Harper 2013). All of the muscles have both origin and insertion points to enable them to work together and perform their jobs correctly. The muscles are attached to the origin by tendons much of the time. The origin is fixed and allows for the movement of…

test is used for de Quervain tenosynovitis—tenosynovitis of the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons of the wrist. To perform this test, the patient is instructed to hold his or her thumb inside the fingers, and then the physician ulnar deviates the patient’s hand. A positive test elicits pain over the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus tendons. The cause of de Quervain tenosynovitis is not firmly established, but is thought to be related to overuse…
