Adduction

complete tear of the ligament if it can be pushed or pulled in certain movements there is gross instability. The movements of the ankle are abduction, adduction, plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, and inversion, eversion. The ligaments of the ankle hold the ankle bones and joint into position. These

Ankle injuries are one of the most common injuries in basketball.1 Ankle sprains—the stretching or tearing of ligaments in the ankle—are the most common type of ankle injury and can range in severity. In an Australian basketball study in which over 10,000 participants were surveyed and 40 ankle injuries were documented, 45.0% of these injuries occurred during the landing of a jump.1 Half of these were from landing on the wooden court and the other half were from landing on another player's foot.1

1. (5 pts) Describe the metabolic process providing your energy while you were walking (at an easy pace) before the bee stung you. Include which molecules are being consumed. The metabolic process providing my energy while I was walking at an easy pace is aerobic metabolism. During aerobic metabolism, mitochondria absorb from the surrounding cytoplasm these molecules: ADP, phosphate ions, O2, and organic substances like pyruvate. These molecules go through the citric acid cycle. The electron

The Process of Injuries to the Hamstring Ask any football player if they have ever had a hamstring injury and most of them will say yes. Why do hamstring injuries happen? Is it because of the anatomy of the hip and pelvis or is it because they are not stretching it enough? Another possibility that causes hamstring and injuries is the muscles are getting overworked. The muscles around those might not be getting worked as well as they should be either. Hamstring injuries happen because they are

A joint is the site where two skeletal elements connect(1). Joints can be classified by both structure and function. Structural classifications are based on the type of connective tissue binding the structures together and whether a joint capsule is present(2, 3). There are three structural classifications of joints; fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial. Functional classifications are based on the amount of movement present(2). There are three functional classifications of joints; synarthroses

Introduction: Metatarsus adductus is one of the most common childhood foot deformities, it describes a medial deviation (adduction) of the forefoot.The lateral border of the foot is convex and the base of the fifth metatarsal has increased prominence. The medial aspect of the foot is concave. There may be a slight separation between the great and second toe.(1) Incidence estimated to be as high as 1 in 100 births.(2) Deformity usually present at birth but may not present until the first year of life

There are six fundamental movements of major body segments. They all range in movement to utilize the primary joints of the body. First there is Flexion, which is a decrease of angles between body parts. One primary example of this would be calf raises, which cause dorsiflexion as the ankles push upwards and the toes force down. Second we have extension, which is the opposite of flexion, causing an increase in angles between body parts. The best example exercise for extension would be leg extensions

Chapter 7: Forearm and Hand: General Survey Questions 1-6 1- Which metacarpal and finger serve as the midline of the hand around which abduction and adduction of the fingers are described? The third metacarpal, or better known as middle finger, is the one that serves as the midline of the hand. 2- At which end of the ulna, proximal or distal, is its head? Is this also true of the head of the radius? The head of the ulna is located distal, while the head of the radius is located proximal.

^8,5 ASI occurs when the arm is in adduction with the shoulder internally rotated. The biceps complex pulley, also known as a capsuloligamentous complex, adjoins the anterior glenoid causing injury when in extreme motions. With the PSI, the pulley is put into risk with abduction and external
