Introduction The sport of ice hockey is an impressive show of speed and skill, long fascinating fans for the fast-paced and exciting atmosphere the game provides. This game requires many complex movement patterns to perform the three core elements of hockey: skating, checking, and shooting.1 One of the more skillful maneuvers that hockey athletes perform is shooting.2 The five types of shots used in hockey are the wrist shot, snap shot, flip shot, backhand shot, and the slap shot, the last of which

there is a fracture in the skeletal area, the shoulder should not be moved by using a splint and holding the upper limb in adduction and internal rotation of the shoulder, and 90-degree elbow flexion. 5, 6 Resting night splints can be used to reduce wrist and fingers flexion contracture, and "state of liberty" splint can be applied for infants to decrease shoulder adduction and internal rotation contracture. In addition, a wrist cock-up splint is affective since the wrist can be kept in neutral

The six fundamental movements of major body segments are abduction, adduction, circumduction, extension, flexion, and rotation. 1. Abduction is the movement of a body segment that is moving away from the midline. An example of this would be a cable lateral raise. 2. Adduction is the movement of a body segment towards the midline of the body. The example of this would be the return of the cable lateral raise back towards the center of the body. 3. Circumduction is the combination of movements outlining

Introduction Obesity is defined as the condition of having excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in proportion to lean body mass (2), and it has been recognised as one of the main preventable risk factors for the osteoarthritis (OA) of the large joints in the lower extremities (1, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12). The excess body weight caused increased biomechanical load to weight-bearing joints (4, 8). This will eventually contribute to increased prevalence of and severity of musculoskeletal disorder and orthopaedic

Radiographic (X-ray) examination is the most useful diagnostic tool for assessing skeletal trauma. However, during normal growth and development, much of the skeleton of infants and young children is composed of radiolucent growth cartilage that may not appear on the x-ray. So sometimes x-rays can be less reliable than gross deformity and point tenderness in predicting extremity fractures. In this case, health care providers can obtain a film of the uninjured limb for direct comparison to help identify

P2 Describe the different classifications of joints Joints are the reason we can move without these we would be stuck and secure, with no way of moving our arms and other limbs as they have nothing to rotate and turn on the following type of joints and there definitions are; fixed, Some of your joints, such as in the skull, are fixed and don't allow any movement. The bones in your skull are held together with fibrous connective tissue. These joints are immovable. Slightly movable joints are two

What do schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, bipolar disorder, and cocaine all have in common? It turns out they are all linked to the role of the dopamine transporter (DAT), which is an integral membrane protein responsible for the reuptake of dopamine from the synapse. Drugs that bind to DAT to prevent the reuptake of dopamine are used to treat the diseases mentioned above, among others. However, cocaine, which is also a DAT blocker, leads to profoundly negative effects, such as addiction and psychomotor

Rick Winstead Steve Hammons PTA 150 2/13/15 Brachial Plexus At first glance, the brachial plexus may be a bit intimidating. The nerves arising from it and the muscles of the trunk and upper extremity of which it innervates may seem overwhelming, but as one begins the process of adding all of the components together in an orderly fashion, it begins to be seen in a much more easily understood manner. The first step in this process is to gain a grasp on the basic main structure of the plexus, and
