Lateral ankle ligament frequently go into inversion or hypersupination as the ankle undergoes abnormal plantar flexion, inversion, and internal rotation in the weight-bearing position. Hypersupination causes damage to lateral ligaments of ankle which further leads to development of lateral ankle
When you sprain and ankle the ligaments in the ankle stretch more than naturally intended and tear. “Sprained ankles are the most common type of musculoskeletal injury”-https://www.emedicinehealth.com. The ankle is made up of three bones the tibia is the major bone in the ankle and it hold most of the bodies weight. The fibula is the smallest bone in the ankle and the final bone is the talus which is the bone on the top of the foot. Stress on the ligaments causes them to stretch or tear. You can sprain an ankle by landing on the side of your foot when you jump or run, stepping on a not flat surface like stepping in a pothole or in sports when
Kinesiology , the study of the human body and its movement. You could take numerous of routes with this degree and I plan on taking a couple of them such as a certified athletic trainer and also a physical therapist. I plan on advancing science in my field by catering to numerous off people bodies.
Many people are under the assumption that kinesiology was introduced to the world in the more recent years. They tend to date its beginnings to when it became the science and subject matter we have come to know today and was introduced in our school systems as a potential degree to major in. Through research and digging into the world’s history I have found the origins of kinesiology to date back as far as 384 B.C. In this paper I will be uncovering the roots of the science we are familiar with today and introduce you to the key players who contributed to the science and fundamentals that encompass this incredible area of study.
Torsion Injuries are caused by the feet being in a fixed position and the body being twisted. These types of injuries are most common in football.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament also known as the ACL is deemed the most commonly torn ligament in the knee and can result from both contact and noncontact injuries. Most Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries result from an extreme force on the lateral side of the person’s knee causing a valgus force which pushes the knee inward (Kisner & Colby, 2012, pp. 802-803). This injury to the side of the knee can also cause a “Terrible Triad” injury which also injures both the medial meniscus and the medial collateral ligament (Kisner & Colby, 2012, p. 803). Our textbook further states that “the most common noncontact mechanism is a rotational mechanism in which the tibia is externally rotated on the planted foot….this mechanism can account for as many as 78% of all ACL injuries” (Kisner & Colby, 2012, p. 803). If the person does not seek medical help with this injury they are susceptible to also injuring the remaining support ligaments as well. Patients usually present with joint effusion; possibly 25 degrees of flexion, joint swelling if blood vessels are involved, limited ROM, stress pain and instability along with quads avoidance gait patterns (Kisner & Colby, 2011, p. 208)
Diagnoses include right ankle sprain/strain, difficulty walking, lumbar sprain/strain, lumbosacral and thoracic spine multiple vertebral subluxation complex, lumbar ligament instability secondary to sprain/strain, bilateral L5 PARS Interarticularis fracture, traumatic or insidious sacroiliac joint pain, lumbosacral radiculopathy or radiculitis, and Grade 1 L5-S1 spondylolisthesis, thoracic sprain/strain.
Lateral ankle sprains result in multiple acute problems including missed playing time, mechanical and functional instability, weakness, and countless other issues. Injury to the lateral ligamentous complex results in more time lost from participation than any other single sport-related injury. If left untreated or treated poorly, an ankle sprain can develop into a chronic condition. As many as 33% to 42% of lateral ankle sprains exhibit a common and serious residual disability referred to as chronic ankle instability or CAI (Hale et al., 2014). The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons defines chronic ankle instability as a condition characterized by recurring “giving way of the outer (lateral) side of the ankle,” and can occur in the absence of mechanical instability. Hale et al., (2014) states chronic ankle instability to be a long-term sequela to an ankle sprain injury and is felt in 20% to 40% of grade II or III diagnosed ankle sprains. By decreasing the chance of obtaining a lateral ankle sprain, chronic ankle instability and other ankle pathology would therefore also be
According to recent reports by the health and safety executive, there are thousands of cases that are related to upper limb disorders. These cases include a wide range of work related complaints that include shoulder, neck, hand, elbow, wrist and fingers. Most of this is brought about by continuous repetitive or strenuous activities. According to the law if a person is affected by a work-related upper limb disorder an employer could be held liable especially if they failed to control and manage the risks related to the condition effectively.
The muscular system is an organ system composed of roughly 650 to 850 muscles. The muscular systems consist of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. The muscular system collectively works with other organ systems to permit movement, posture, conduction of heat and the circulation of blood throughout the human body.
Patient is a 15-year-old male presenting after sustaining an inversion sprain to his right ankle while playing basketball yesterday. This occurred about 1:30 p.m. Patient indicates that he landed after jumping up for a rebound and came down on it sideways with an inversion injury. He did hear and feel a crack at that time. He was assisted off the court, sat down, then limped back to his residence. He noted increasing pain within the next hour. Pain is most prominent on the lateral aspect of the right ankle, although he also complained of anteromedial pain inferior to the medial malleolus, in addition to pain localized to the right arch and extending distally to the IP joint of the right great toe. He also complains of numbness in the toe. He does have prior history of recurrent ankle sprains. A lot due to
The typical ankle sprain arises with inversion of the plantar flexed foot during weight bearing. Maximum elongation and strain of the Anterior talo fibular ligament occurs when foot is in plantar flexion. Stressful inversion through in plantar flexion can increase the chance of stress and strain to the ligament external the yield point or even the final failure strain. The force may be adequate to damage the calcaeno fibular ligament. More frequently, damage to the anterior talo fibular ligament causes excessive dorsiflexion of the ankle . Constant inversion stress with the ankle neutral or dorsiflexion leads to failure strain of the calcaeno fibular ligament .19 The athelete or sports player who uses the ankle more, so his sole of the foot
Millions of people suffer from lower back pain, caused by work, sports, excessive standing or chronic illness. You vertebra lower, or lumbar region, sensitive to pain and muscle depletion. Caring spine means learning how to sleep soundly. Some of these positions can take time for your body to get used to, but change your position and support your back will pay in the long run. If you have a load of back pain, then you should invest in a good mattress and pillows, sleeping position supporting learning and cautious for a good night's sleep every night. Bed can help relax the muscles and reset pain receptors so that you wake up in the morning feeling pain free. Learn how to sleep with lower back pain.
Ankle sprains are the most common injury in sports1,2,3,4,5. This is how almost all the articles started out. This is an injury I have seen over the past years as a player and coach. A player on my team this year suffered this injury during our basketball season and she was out for a few weeks. This really hurt our team since I only had 7 players on my team this year. This had me wondering if there was anything I could have done differently as a coach to prevent her injury since it was done during a drill. There are several ligaments surrounding the bones to form the ankle, which are the syndesmotic ligament, lateral collateral ligament, and medial collateral ligament.5 Lateral ankle sprains can occur in several
There are two forms of sprained ankle, lateral and medial sprains. The lateral ligament runs along the outside of the ankle into the foot. When the poor step happens, the foot may twist or roll inward, spraining this ligament. The medial ligament rests along the inside of the ankle. If the misstep rolls the foot outward in a sideways motion, a medial sprain happens. If not treated correctly, this rather mundane injury can become a chronic issue within the ankle and surrounding tissues. Most physicians agree that the best first course of action is to apply the RICE treatment. RICE stands for Rest, Ice Compression, and Elevation. Essentially you will want to stay off of the injured joint, apply ice packs, keep it wrapped at a moderate tightness, and keep it elevated. Dr Vijay Kumar helps his Ogemaw patients to do this, along with exercises
The ankle joint is the most commonly injured part of the lower leg. It happens from an unusual twisting action
