A Brief Note On The Mechanism Of Injury

Cerebral Palsy can either be present before birth, can occur during the delivery process, or can even develop up to several years after a child is born. The disorder is most commonly

Grade 1: This grade is where the ankle will be tender and swelling may occur however the ligaments will not be torn however there may be little tear.

Axel and skeleton frame injuries are something that are very common in the world of sports. The National Football Ledge(NFL) has a foundation of physical impact and is very strenuous on the axel and skeletal frame. Thoracic disc herniations in the one of the most common injuries the NFL and it requires the greatest amount of time to recover which is 189 days. Thou the injury is very high in football nearly 15 percent of American suffer from Thoracic Disc Herniation. Degeneration the most common cause of Thoracic disc herniation “As a disc's annulus ages, it tends to crack and tear. These injuries are repaired with scar tissue. Over time the annulus weakens, and the nucleus may squeeze (herniate) through the damaged annulus. Spine degeneration

In the immediate, as well as long-term aftermath of exposure to trauma, children are at risk of developing significant emotional and behavior difficulties (CWIG, 2012). The most damaging types of trauma include early physical and sexual abuse, neglect, emotional/psychological abuse, exposure to domestic violence and other forms of child maltreatment (Hoch, 2009). Research has shown that children that are exposed to these types of trauma will experience developmental delays including language and verbal processing. Also, they will have risk of poor physiological and psychosocial functioning, and will be vulnerable to emotional and behavioral dysregulation disorders, thus, leading to an increase risk of poor outcomes including substance abuse, suicidality, teen pregnancy and paternity, criminal activity, and revictimization (Hoch, 2009).

The most vivid injury in my mind is one that still shows today on my right ankle.

Carey reported that she experienced occasional numbness of the upper extremities and that she would occasionally drop objects from both hands. Upon physical examination, Dr. Abiera noted that Ms. Carey’s range of motion of the cervical spine was decreased on flexion and tenderness on palpation of posterior cervical muscles with spasms and trigger points was present. In addition, Dr. Abiera noted that the range of motion of lumbar spine was within normal range, however there was still some tenderness on palpation of thoracic paraspinals muscles.

Grade 2 injuries result in symptoms of moderate to severe pain with severe difficulty in walking. The athlete is unlikely to be able to play on and will often limp heavily. Minor bruising and swelling may present immediately but can take several hours (up to 48) to develop. The ankle will feel very stiff but may also feel unstable resulting from a number of torn ligament fibers (this can be tested more accurately by a professional therapist). Recovery time for a moderate ankle sprain (grade 2) takes between 4 and 8 weeks.

Twenty percent of cerebral palsy cases result from a brain injury that occurs during the birthing process. Acquired cerebral palsy accounts for around ten percent of cerebral palsy cases and typically occurs in the first few months or years of life as a result of head injuries, vehicle accidents, or bacterial meningitis.

The patient is an 80-year-old right-handed white female, who presents with her male partner for evaluation of left lower extremity symptoms. She did present for an EMG nerve conduction study in May. At that time, she gave a history of intermittent numbness into the anterior lateral thigh. The numbness rarely extended below the knee at that time, and it rarely occurred on the right. There was no clear radicular component. Her exam was normal. Her EMG of the left lower extremity was limited because she is on Pradaxa, but it was normal and CBs were consistent with a mild motor neuropathy. The diagnosis was possible meralgia paresthetica. The patient now states that the numbness is intermittent. It is on the anterior thigh, but now it goes down into the calf anteriorly and

My name is Armonee Mosley and I work with many people that has Cerebral palsy and you may ask what is cerebral palsy? It is a term used to define a group of conditions which impair movement, with “palsy” meaning disorder of movement and “cerebral” meaning brain. In other words “The impairment is caused by damage to the brain, either before or after birth, but to be clinically diagnosed with cerebral palsy it must occur very early in life, usually before the age of three” (Emma). There is no gender or race more prone to cerebral palsy however, how the pregnancy was carried can play a role. The use of drugs and/or alcohol may cause damage to the developing brain of the fetus, perhaps leading to congenital cerebral palsy(Emma)

The acceleration phase, takes place from maximal shoulder external rotation until the release of the football with shoulder internal rotation. The non-dominant elbow during the acceleration phases is ripping back. Like a young child ripping their favorite toy away from someone. The non-dominant hand should end up near the non-dominant armpit. The height of the dominant elbow should be maintained above the dominant shoulder with a slight flexion in the elbow. The ‘Little C’ should be coming over your dominant ear. The grip of the football is similar to the letter ‘C’. So the football should be coming over the ear. The dominant arms bicep should be close to the dominant ear. As the football is approaching the front of the dominant

In accident and injury cases, the initial consultation is free. These meetings tend to be on the short side. They are often no more than 30 minutes.

This paper focuses on the prevention and treatment of injuries in basketball. This paper explores the basic concepts of preventing injuries and the different methods to treat injuries that occur as a result of playing basketball. There are a variety of preventive measures to limit injuries at recreational, collegiate and professional levels of playing basketball. This paper will elaborate on specific approaches to injury prevention for each circumstance. Depending on the duration and intensity of play many contributing factors play a role in the prescribed treatment of basketball injuries. This paper will examine the different types of treatment available and the major factors that are considered based on case by case basis. Basketball is an enjoyable sport with the risk of minor and major injury. This paper will give insight into those injuries and remedies to treat and prevent them.

Overall, OBBP is considered as one of the disorders that occur among children at birth. The severity of the lesions may differ from one infant to another and is can be detected according to the injury of brachial plexus nerve roots. Some of its types can cause major deformities in child's upper limb and the child may need surgical operation, while some types can be treated and the infant can recover fully with physical therapy interventions.

Several studies have suggested that PDA occurs in premature babies due to the lungs being underdeveloped and poor metabolizers of prostaglandins. Other risk factors that may be associated with an infant having a PDA is a positive family history of cardiac defects and genetically linked conditions like Down syndrome. Maternal infection with German measles during pregnancy can cause damaging effects to the fetal heart and circulatory system and put the infant at greater risk of acquiring a PDA. Studies have also shown that children born at higher altitudes have an increased susceptibility of having a PDA.
