the distal supraspinatus tendon. The remainder of the examination was otherwise unremarkable with no abnormal findings relative to the glenoid labrum or the tendon of the long head of the biceps. A PT note dated 08/11/2017 indicated that the claimant reported left shoulder pain rated at 9/10 at worst. He was diagnosed with a complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of the left shoulder, superior glenoid labrum lesion of the left shoulder, spontaneous rupture of the other tendons of the left…

that in mind, we tend to have little to no control over our genes. In The Sports Gene, David Epstein introduces the fact that “the longer (and stiffer) the Achilles tendon, the more elastic energy it can store when compressed.” In the text of the Sports Gene, Thomas is gifted with a “giants Achilles tendon.” The longer the Achilles tendon, the higher your jump will be. Genes determine certain things…

Larsen syndrome is very similar to Osgood-Schlatter disease, but in this case the injury occurs in the tendon (ligament) on the lower patellar pole of the patella . The patella is connected to the tibia by the patellar tendon. When we are in the process of growing, the tendon attaches to a growth plate (or epiphyseal plate) located at the base of the kneecap. Repeated stress on the patellar tendon as a result of sports, it can cause the growth plate to become irritated and inflamed. Treatment…

in activities. Epstein states “...Longer Achilles tendon allows an athlete to get more power from what’s called the “stretch shortening cycle,” basically compression and subsequent decompression of the springlike tendon. The more power that is stored in the spring when it is compressed, the more you get when it is released” (Epstein 15). Knowing this information we now know that the Achilles tendon functions similar to a spring, so when the tendon is bigger the more compression and decompression…

Acl Tear When someone gets an ACL tear also known as a Anterior Cruciate Ligament tear you will usually feel and or hear a pop and it is usually so painful that you would have to stop all the activity you are doing. The ACL tear can cause small medium to complete tears of the ligament. Separation of the ligament from the upper or lower leg bone, or a separation of the ligament and part of the bone from the rest of the bone. The body parts affected by this are your knee. Not any other place…

However, the researchers faced limitations while conducting this study. There were 11 dropouts. Originally, there were 58 patients (70 tendons) throughout the heel-drop exercise programme. The researchers attempted to contact all 58 patients (70 tendons), but unfortunately, six patients (six tendons) were not reachable for follow-up and five patients (five tendons) refused to participate. To conclude, as eccentric exercise such as heel-drop exercise gives positive effects on Achilles…

Consider the arm. The biceps and the triceps are on two sides of the upper arm bone (humerus) and attach to the fore arm bones (radius and ulna) from the inside and outside of the elbow joint. Contraction of the bicep causes your arm to fold. Contraction of the triceps causes your arm to extend , your biceps muscle is attached to your shoulder blade at one end and to your ulna in your forearm at the other end. When the biceps contracts, it shortens and pulls the ulna toward the shoulder blade…

and anterolateral surface of the middle third of humerus ,embracing the deltoid insertion. In addition it also had attachement to the adjoining part of the lateral intermuscular septum. Its fibers ran vertically and terminated in a thick tendon to be inserted onto the ulnar tuberosity. Fibers of the deep head could be seen arising from the anterormedial and anterorlateral suaface of the distal third of the humerus. In addition fibers were seen to be attached to the…

which are called the superficial muscles. These muscles share a tendon called the Achilles tendon otherwise known as the Calcaneal. This tendon is an important one, as it attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone, which enables the foot to preform a plantar flex (O’toole, 2013). Most of the motion is caused by the superficial muscles (Dale, 2015) .These muscles are the gastrocnemius and just behind it is the soleus; the tendons of these muscles insert into the calcaneal bone(O’toole , 2013).…
