Tendon

expose the gastrocnemius muscle. The gastrocnemius muscle was first separated from the tibiofibula bone, but left attached to the knee and the Achilles tendon. A 15 cm long piece of strong thread was tied tightly around the Achilles tendon of the heel of the frog for later attachment of the muscle to the force transducer equipment. The Achilles tendon below the tied string was then severed and the tibiofibula and femur bones were cut away and removed. The gastrocnemius muscle was kept moist in…

basketball. Among the more frequent skeletal system injuries that are associated with basketball are stress fractures of the hands, fingers and ankles. Ligament damage which most frequently occurs in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and achilles tendon…

friction, it's called a friction massage. A friction massage can be self done if you are able to reach the injured area. The way patients can do this is by rubbing gently back and forth over the inflamed tendon at the point of greatest tenderness. Your strokes should be perpendicular to the fibres of the tendon — like strumming a guitar string, this is pretty simple. This is hard for some patients because it is hard to massage a muscle that's really tight on their own body. The pain that comes…

Iontophoresis Tennis Elbow is a condition that commonly affects professional to recreational tennis players. Tennis elbow is referred to as lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) in clinical practice. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of iontophoresis treatment on patients with LET. Iontophoresis is defined as a treatment that uses an electric charge to move liquid medication into the body or specific targeted area of a muscle or inflamed area. The liquid is known as dexamethasone…

cannon bones and often occur in young horses in early training. Bowed Tendon (a.k.a. Tendonitis) is a strain due to deep footing, fatigue, low heels and long toes, hyper-extension or improper training. An inflammation of the tendon or tendon sheath, usually in the superficial digital flexor tendon or sometimes in the deep digital flexor tendon. Damage to the tendon can range from slight to severe depending on if and how much of the tendon sheath has been torn.…

Torn Achilles Tendon,It mainly occurs in people playing recreational sports, but it can happen to anyone. The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord that connects the gastrocnemius and soleus in the back of your calf to your calcaneus. If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear completely or just partially. When the gastrocnemius and soleus which are located in the back of your calf, are flexed the achilles tendon pulls on the calcaneus or heel. The movement of flexion allows…

Tendon wounds in the knee -, for example, a foremost cruciate tendon is a torn (ACL) - can put you on the sidelines - quick. They hurt a ton and may confine what you can do. Foremost cruciate tendon (ACL) is the most usually harmed knee tendon. It associates the thigh unresolved issue shin bone. Most ACL injuries occur during certain sports such as basketball, soccer, football, skiing, and tennis. Some symptoms include knee swelling, instability, and pain. Treatment may include surgery and…

The mean reflex conduction time for Achilles tendon light tap was 48.1ms, for Achilles tendon medium tap it was 125.25ms, and for Achilles tendon heavy was 167.5ms. The Reflex conduction velocity was calculated to be 28.15m/s for Achilles tendon light tap, 10.74m/s for Achilles tendon medium tap, and 8.02m/s for Achilles tendon heavy tap. According to the literature (Human Physiology An Integrated Approach 6th Ed pg. 339) the Achilles tendon light tap was 28.15m/s which was in the range between…

Mice in the TC30 and TC60 are the mice who received cold treatment for 30 and 60 minutes respectively, and then sacrificed after the ice treatment. In the acute tendon injury model, 45 female mice (8-10 weeks) had both their patellar and Achilles tendons injured by penetration of a needle. The 45 mice were divided into 9 groups, with 5 mice in each group. The control group (group 0), was sacrificed immediately after the needle penetration. Mice in 4 groups…
