On June 27th, 2016, I severely fractured my tibia, fibula, and ankle after an approximate 20-foot climbing fall. It was the worst injury in my outdoor athletic career. The following four months since the accident consisted of surgery, immobilization, rehabilitation, and ultimately returning to sporting fitness. I was told the damage was so bad that I might have a permanent limp, which would effectively end climbing, skiing, and running. The toughest part is to admit you yourself that you made a mistake and it has the potential to affect an athletic and outdoor lifestyle. I didn’t have a lot of hope after the accident, but over the course of the recovery, I grew stronger, not only in body, but in mind as well. Injury and

Julia was brought into the clinic by her parents with concerns of issues Julia has been facing in school and the home setting. Julia’s teachers inquired if Julia had a history of seizures as she has been observed appearing to “space out” at times and has to be redirected by her teachers by physically touching her or calling her name in a loud tone to gain her attention. Julia appears to space out regularly particularly when she is receiving instruction or in the process of completing independent work. Julia has seen a decline in her studies as it pertains to math and reading and her parents disclosed that they have had to repeat things numerous times before gaining her attention. Julia was seen by her pediatrician and referred to a neurologist where she was tested for a seizure disorder. Julia’s testing for seizure disorder came back negative.

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

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.

In America lots of kids under 20 get injuries from sports. Their are a couple ways parents can make it safer for their kids. The parents can communicate with them. They can attend games and maybe some practices, and they can tell them to exercise before the season starts.

When Post Traumatic Stress Disorder first hits, veterans deal with numerous side effects, such as anger, anxiety, fatigue or depression. PTSD has always been an extremely complex topic to comprehend. The injuries faced by these victims do not reflect those of someone who had been shot or, hit by a blast, but it is something that nobody can see. It is what the Lone Survivor foundation calls an “Invisible Injury” (Education:LSF). Although it can look as if one with PTSD is normal, their minds are not. Although some may think PTSD is not a large-scale problem for veterans, “Researchers estimate that between 7% and 20% of veterans of the recent wars have suffered PTSD at some point” (Zarembo). Even though 7% or 20% is only a fraction of the overall

Throughout an athlete's career they will have their bumps and bruises on a daily basis. That same athlete could also face a major obstacle in the road that will question whether they continue their journey or quit. Usually this comes in the form of an injury depending on the circumstance and severity, this athlete may be referred to a physical therapist. According to Jennifer Robinson, ¨Physical therapy is one of the best choices you can make when you have long-term chronic pain¨ (¨Physical Therapy for Chronic Pain¨). The role of a physical therapist is to,¨examine, evaluate, and treat athletes who have conditions...that affects their ability to move freely and without pain¨, according to the article ¨Benefits of a Physical Therapist.” They

When an individual suffers a Lisfranc injury, his or her joints and/or ligaments in the middle foot are affected. This type of injury may result from a slip and fall or a major accident. If a Lisfranc injury is mistaken for a sprain and treatment is not sought, more significant problems can arise. While some physicians and centers rush through diagnosing patients, at Nilssen Orthopedics Ankle and Foot Center in Pensacola, Florida, we take the time necessary to ensure each patient receives an accurate diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis is crucial to ensuring patients receive the treatment they need to recover and return to their daily activities.

Hockey Related Injuries Hockey is a demanding sport that not only requires teamwork but also speed and power. As a result of this many players are at risk for severe injuries during their playing career. Although many of the injuries happen on accident most of them can be avoided. The chance of obtaining an injury in hockey is heightened because it is a physical contact sport.

Insidious injuries are when the links between their causes and manifest symptoms are obscure. (Calhoun et. al, 2017,162) This indicates that these injuries are described as general diseases as opposed to traumatic injury that has occurred. With this in mind it makes these types of injuries hard to define and to understand due to the fact they display as diseases. Insidious injuries have specific characteristics such as they appear only after a period of time, there are patterns to a group that are exposed or randomly depending on the individual’s level of vulnerabilities. Then it manifests by raising the rates of risk for diseases that may also have other causes and affects victims that are widely dispersed through the populations.

In sports, especially professional sports injury is a great possibly, and a common and very serious injury is plaguing all sports. The concussion is that injury. And over the past few years the NHL and other leagues or trying to crack down on concussions; but those are only partial solutions. In hockey concussions, can come from anything and happen at any time. Thus, proposing a solution or a way to prevent them, is very difficult. As per a study that took place from 1997-2004, results published in 2011 by CTV, states “With averages ranging from 4.6 to 7.7 concussions per 100 NHL players per season, it’s likely that each of the 30 teams in the league will see at least one or two players miss time due to a concussion every year” (Tahirali). Thusly supporting how many players received concussions, even if this study is older. Many people are fighting to get the game changed to combat concussions, and just as many fight to not change the game; although they still do not want concussions.
