Non Capsular Injuries

Ulnar collateral ligament injury is a type of elbow injury that develops from repeated overhand throwing movements (overuse). This motion places a lot of stress on the two strong bands of tissue (ligaments) that hold your elbow joint in place. The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is a main ligament located on the inside of your elbow. Over time, repetitive overhand throwing can damage the UCL.

Once the ball is fielded, the athlete will jump forward off of their right leg if they a right handed thrower to continue their momentum towards the target. The important parts of this stage are fielding the ball cleanly and continuing all of their momentum forward. These are the two things coaches and players are really looking to accomplish. The momentum will be talked about later in the paper as it is one of the important biomechanical concepts incorporated in this movement. In this stage, the athlete will field the ball with their glove positioned directly under their shoulder with the webbing of the glove on the ground. This is to make sure the ball rolls into the glove and not under it. The athlete is flexed at both the hips, knees and spine to accomplish getting the glove on the ground. With the hips being flexed, this means the athlete’s pelvis will be anteriorly rotated. The right ankle will be dorsiflexed and the left ankle will be plantarflexed so the athlete can continue his momentum forward to get power on his throw. The glove hand wrist is neither flexed or extended but in a neutral position. The fingers of the glove are extended though in order to open up the webbing of the glove and trap the ball inside. The forearm is supinated to allow for the webbing to be opened towards where the ball is coming from. The athlete’s elbow is extended and their shoulder is flexed on

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

Due to the fact that it is common in baseball, it is believed that they rotational stress that comes from throwing a ball may be significant in the eventual result of this injury. This injury is most likely the result of the articular cartilage being more susceptible to deformities and the patient going through rapid growth in the ages in which this injury is the most common, 13 to 16 years old. Also the plane of separation when throwing a baseball caused pressure on the weakest part of the plate in which this injury is common. The best thing to prevent this injury is to not let young players throw excessively. That is way many baseball little leagues have rules over how many pitchers and what type of pitches they let kids through until they get to a certain age. Treatment should include rest at an average of 3 months. It is also recommended that coaches and parents encourage youth to bring attention to themselves in they are feeling any proximal humeral

Studies and surveys have shown that upper-extremity injuries are a common result of pitching through youth, high school, and collegiate baseball leagues. There have been surveys taken to show the relation of elbow and shoulder injuries and pitching. Statistics taken describe (1) the proportion of pitchers with a history of pitching related upper-extremity injury (2) proportion of pitchers with w history of pitching related elbow and shoulder injury that was treated through surgery (3)types of upper-extremity injuries sustained by pitchers and (4) types of upper extremity injuries sustained by a certain age category around the same time of injury.

Is it worth the risk of injury to play football at any level? When this question is asked to athletes or people that have never played the sport, they might tell you no. When asked to the athletes who have played the sport of American Football, then the chances of you getting a yes are much higher. With the correct equipment and the correct forms, there is a lower chance of receiving a long-term injury then there would be any other way.

It is during the follow-through that injuries to the posterior shoulder occur. The body must now dissipate the energy that has been developed to accelerate the ball. This is one reason it is important for the body to continue to move after the ball is released. (Houglum).

When was the last time you thought about your ulnar collateral ligament? Have you ever thought about stretches you should do for your elbow and arm before throwing anything? How about what even makes your elbow work? These are things I never took into consideration before my injury.

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

You will feel a slight tingling in your pinky finger and a numbing feeling in your arm. The tear of the ligament will take most if not all your throwing ability away. This will make an almost unbearable pain felt in your arm.

According to Kacprowicz (2017), “in order to properly diagnose and treat any injury to the UCL, a comprehensive understanding of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the UCL in overhead throwing sports is imperative.” The anterior bundle of the UCL is particularly susceptible to injury. The study by Awh (2010) reports that, “These injuries are often associated with those of the flexor pronator muscle-tendon unit, a stabilizer at the medial elbow. Strains and/or fatigue of the dynamic stabilizers may cause increased tears of the UCL.” The posterior bundle of the UCL is not as vulnerable for injury since it does not play a large role in the overhead throwing motion.

CM Gilmore met with Bmo and VC are several attempts to make contact to ensure safety and well-being. CM addressed the allegations in the report regarding the PKU screening of the infant. She reported that she didn't use the doctor that was recommended at the hosptial, because of the distance from her residence to the doctor's office. She reported that she changed doctors. She reported that she has been missed three appointments. Bmo was able to provide proof of immunization records regarding the required shots the child is supposed to have at her age. CM Gilmore found no safety concerns in the home. CM Gilmore discussed safe sleep with Bmo, and assessed the home, and sleeping area of infant.

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.

Introduction: The glenohumeral joint has the most instability but most range of motion when compared to any other joint in the body. It requires the labrum, ligaments and capsule to maintain stability and function. A glenoid labrum tear disrupts this joint leading to pain and instability (Fitzcharles). Tears in the labrum are common in athletes who use repetitive motions of the shoulder, such as football quarterbacks, baseball pitchers and weightlifters. These tears can sometimes be mistaken as glenohumeral join instability, adhesive capsulitis and shoulder impingement (Painful).

Injuries play a big role in an athlete's career and his or her overall health, although minor injuries are often nothing to worry about they can lead to something serious especially if the injury is repeatedly being aggravated. scrapes, cuts, bruises, and broken bones are all things to worry about. When a player is injured he or she is losing play time and money and why risk this when there is small but giant steps that can be taken to prevent injuries. But brain injuries are something much more serious even if the player says not to worry because something worse than losing playtime is losing your life. Albert C. hergenroeder has written an article on preventing sports injuries, he says that there are 3 million sports injuries among kids around
