A bruise is a kind of injury that is caused when part of the body hit something. The impact causes capillaries under our skin to be damaged. This causes blood to get into the surrounding tissue. Bruises often hurt later. They are usually not dangerous. A bruise can be seen a day or two after the impact. It is usually blue or purple in color. Then, it turns yellow and slowly goes away. The changing colors comes from hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains red blood cells. It also contains bilirubin and biliverdin. Bilirubin is yellow. Biliverdin is green. These two things combine, then breakdown to make the diferent colors of the bruise. It takes between one and two weeks for a bruise to heal completely.
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).

Many players have the chance to prevent their injuries, but yet they never do. Families must discuss with the athlete about whether it is safe and enforce the rules to stop injuries such as concussions. More protection could also be worn to prevent broken bones or worse and also stretching to strengthen muscles. Injuries have increased a tremendous amount throughout the years because many players have stopped wearing the correct amount of protection and taking care of themselves.

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.

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).

An accurate diagnosis is crucial to ensuring patients receive the treatment they need to recover and return to their daily activities.
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
There is news all over the sports world about athletes getting injured with hairline fractures, torn ACLs, and most often, concussions. Little do the spectators know that those injuries to the head put those victims at a greater risk for something far worse later in their lifetime. Diseases like ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and CTEs (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) can be caused to occur earlier in an athlete’s life rather than a non athlete due to these blows to the head they suffer on a weekly basis.
This segment the girl will fall off the top bunk at camp and hit her face on the floor while attempting to sleep walking. She will be asleep as the counselors talk with her about her fall. She will wake up angry, confused, and disoriented, but unsure why. She will be in a different room of the cabin than where she fell asleep at. She will question the counselors regarding how she got there. They will explain what happened after stating they just explained to her what happened. She will be embarrassed, but confess that she sleepwalks and they were speaking to her as she was still asleep. The camera will zoom in to show the severity of her injuries, and the ambulance will be called. Clips of the counselors speaking about their first experience dealing with someone that sleepwalks will appear. They will
Every year, thousands of men and women undergo certain injuries that may or may not require surgery, but as time goes by, surgeries seem to get extremely expensive and therefore people seek for inexpensive alternatives when given the option. In sport and exercise psychology, psychologists study the contents of behavior in sport and exercise psychology (KIN 370 Lecture Notes, 09/22/16). Similarly, as a Physical Therapist, my profession will allow me to use therapeutic exercises, psychological skills and modalities to help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility without undergoing surgery.
