Ligaments connect bones together and are made up of grossly parallel, fibrous, dense connective tissue.1 Many ligaments are parts of anatomically inseparable structures known as joint capsules, and this is certainly the case with the wrist. Ligaments often have a more vascular overlying layer termed the "epiligament" covering their surface. This layer is often indistinguishable from the actual ligament and merges into the periosteum of the bone around the attachment sites of the ligament.7…

The Time I Broke My Wrist When I was 11 I broke my wrist. I broke it when I was at my grandparent's house. I was playing around on the rails outside their house.

trace of their muscle contraction. Data was observed while the subject changed their hand movement in different ways including wrist positions such as fully flexed, partial flex, neutral, and extended measured through the use of a hand dynamometer.

jump shot? All the great shooters around the world have extremely good form. To have good form, you need a technique or steps to follow in order to keep your jump shot consistent.

The first step, bending of the knees, is very important and results in how the ball approaches the rim. When bending the knees within a shot, the shooter creates a stability stance for the ball to be thrown into the rim.…
