medicine settings and involves concentric-eccentric actions of the plantar-flexors in unipedal stance, with the total number of calf-raises completed documented as the primary outcome measure (Hébert-Losier, Schneiders, et al., 2009). Anatomy The triceps surae muscle-tendon unit is unique in that it combines the function of two muscles, soleus and gastrocnemius, through a shared aponeurosis in series with a common tendon(Hébert-Losier, Schneiders, et al., 2009). The gastrocnemius is bi-articular

ligament reconstruction, also known as Tommy John surgery, is a surgical procedure where the ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow is replaced with a tendon from the patient’s body or a tendon is donated by an outside party. This surgery is named after a former baseball pitcher, Tommy John, from the 1974 Los Angeles Dodgers. Tommy John surgery is a common injury for all athletes, but most commonly baseball or softball players and especially pitchers. This injury has precautionary measures, symptoms,

Introduction: What Are Stress Fractures? Stress fractures account for approximately twenty percent of athletic injuries, with eighty percent of stress fractures occurring in the lower leg. Stress fractures in the lower extremity are common injuries among individuals who participate in endurance, high load-bearing activities (2). The incidence of these injuries has risen due to earlier and longer participation in sports (3). Stress fractures occur when repetitive mechanical load exceeds the biological

controlled trial. BMC Neurol 2; 13:71. 2. Painful arc syndrome (rotator cuff tendinitis, tear or impingement syndrome): Painful arc syndrome is a condition characterized by pain in part of the ROM, between 45 and 160 degrees. Bicipital tendon rupture: Bicipital tendon rupture is frequently diagnosed in association with rotator cuff disease as a component of the impingement syndrome. Glenohumeral adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder or pericapsulitis): Adhesive capsulitis is a condition of uncertain

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition treated by orthopedists. The carpal tunnel is a narrow structure inside of your wrist which houses flexor tendons and the median nerve, both of which are protected by a type of tissue called synovium. When the synovium swells, pressure is put on the nerve, resulting in numbness in the palm side of the thumb and long fingers. Many factors can cause the synovium to swell and crowd the median nerve including heredity,

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common complaint in patients seen by the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). Patients that complain of numbness, tingling or pain to the first three fingers and part of the ring finger of the hand are describing CTS. The patient may also complain of weakness to the affected hand. In patients that have experiences these symptoms chronically, there may also be muscle wasting to the thenar eminence near the base of the thumb (Dunphy, Winland-Brown

Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location, action, shape, and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone, but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions, like the genioglossus

In the field of athletic training, music can be used for psychological purposes, and athletic trainers are now entering performing arts for injury prevention and rehabilitation. As athletic trainers have been emerging in the performing arts area within the last 25 years, they can play an important role in the lives of dancers. Music can be found in the injury prevention and rehabilitation of dancers and has psychological benefits for athletes. Athletic trainers often use SOAP notes as the basic

Movement from the lower extremities of the human body depends on the strength, agility and flexibility of the knee. Bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments and tendons assist with the knee getting the job done (NIH, n.d.). While supporting the body to walk, run and jump, the knee is at risk for enduring a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This type of injury can pose a threat to athletes and their careers. When the ACL is torn, the body will lose stability and the inability to bear the weight

innervation with another nerve called the ulnar nerve. Later on, they get severe pain burning pain, muscle weakness and muscle wasting in a long standing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome case.” - Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Dana Tarandy. The swelling of the surrounding tendons made by repeated overuse or poor ergonomics of the wrist leads the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome. You can link the following to the research because when you leave your wrist in an awkward position for too long you can cause carpal tunnel syndrome
