Wounded Knee Massacre

Crutches and a brace are used during this time and depending on who performed the repair the brace and crutches may be removed. First 3-5 days the lower extremity (LE) will be immobilized on a rigid brace with knee flexed in 30°- 45°. As a patient you are told to avoid extension of the knee while hip is in flexion. You will be walking with the crutches as early as 24 – 48 hours after the surgery with toe touch (5%) which will continue for 2 weeks. During week 3&4 weight bearing should be…

Chapter I The Problem and Its Scope Introduction The shoulder contains complicated groups of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursae all involved in humeral and scapular kinematics (Terry & Chopp, 2000). Regular use of the arms can result in fatigue of shoulder musculature, which could lead to altered scapular kinematics during humeral elevation (Tsai, McClure, & Karduna, 2003). These changes in scapular kinematics can potentially lead to shoulder problems such as impingement syndrome,…

ligament (ACL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) (“Knee Anatomy”). The top of the tibia is also covered by menisci acting mainly as shock absorbers (“Knee Anatomy”). As Cowl turned sharply to avoid being tackled, he felt a pop in his right knee. Following Cowl’s injury, an anterior drawer test, a Lachman test, and a pivot shift test were all performed. Through these tests, the trainer confirmed his suspicion of an ACL tear to the right knee. ACL tears are fairly common in football and…

Anatomy and Function of the Knee The knee is the largest joint in the body; the joint is vital in supporting an individual when performing functional movements such as walking, running and jumping (Hamill, Knutzen and Derrick, 2014). Ref reports the knee joint moves in all three planes. Flexion and extension is seen in the sagittal plane, whereas internal and external rotation occurs in the transverse plane and adduction/abduction can be analysed from a frontal plane view. A ligamentous tissue…

750-1250) Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) pose a significant problem within English professional soccer accounting for 12% of all injuries (25), with over half (53%) affecting the Biceps Femoris Long Head (BFLH) (70). To decelerate the extending knee and flexing hip (5, 31, 70) during kicking and late swing phase of gait (33, 59), the hamstrings must undergo intense eccentric loading in a lengthened position (16). Stretching to 110% of its length in upright standing (59), muscle-tendon units…

Lateral epicondylitis is the most common type of myotendinosis which can cause pain and loss of function (Dilek, 2016). This condition is often called tennis elbow because it is most commonly found in tennis players. Although lateral epicondylitis is an injury that many people can get from there daily jobs, a case study of a seventeen-year-old male who was playing tennis developed lateral epicondylitis. Lateral epicondylitis is treated by doctors and is confirmed by radiologists. The boy in the…

Set the bar to the mid thigh level on the Smith Machine. Load the bar appropriately and hold it with pronated hands. Use wrist wraps for heavy lifts. Lift the bar with straight back and extended arms. Now move to the standing position with a narrow posture. Now lower the bar with straight knees, but only bend at the waist with a stiff back. Stop only when you stretch your hamstrings. Reverse the motion to again stand straight. Snatch Deadlift It is the first part of snatch weightlifting. Select…

1.1 Introduction: The incidence of zygomatic complex fracture is relatively high. A thorough understanding of the diagnosis and the surgical principles are of critical importance. The zygomatic bone provides the facial appearance, through its cheek prominence. This prominence plays an important role in the protection of the eye. Moreover, the zygomatic bone acts as a strong buttress for the absorption and transmission of masticatory forces to the base of skull. Therefore, the optimum reduction…

is the vastus intermedialis. The rectus femoris however is straight down the front of the thigh, sitting on top of the vastus intermedialis. All four of these muscles come together to make one big tendon that comes over the knee. These muscles are the only extensor of the knee joint, therefore very important for…
