Review of Literature The following is a review of literature pertaining to the anterior cruciate ligament, ACL, reconstruction and the rehabilitation used for it. First, an overview of the anatomy and physiology of the anterior cruciate ligament, ACL, will be given. The process by which the ACL is the ACL injury is managed through reconstruction, repair, and rehabilitation will be seen from previous literature. There are two types of exercises types that will be focused on and that is closed kinetic

On examination of the lumbar spine, there is tenderness at L4-S1, with spasms noted. Straight leg raise (SLR) is positive on the left side. As of this report, a urine drug screen was consistent with prescribed medications. Range of motion shows flexion of 45 degrees and extension of 10 degrees with extreme pain. Lateral bending is 15 degrees bilaterally. Diagnoses include lumbar radiculitis, post laminectomy syndrome and bilateral leg pain. Treatment plan includes refill of medications, weight

2.1 Low back pain: 2.1.1 Anatomy of the lower back The lower back is made up of various structures which interlink with each other (12). Pain mostly occurs in the Lumbar region which is medically referred to as L1 to L5. This region supports the weight of the upper body (12). Between each vertebra are discs which act as shock absorbers, and provide cushioning when the body moves. They are designed to have a soft nucleus pulposus, the central part, and a firm outer ring, the annulus fibrosus (13)

DOI: 4/8/2009. Patient is a 41-year-old male lead receiver who sustained a back injury when he slipped on a kiwi while pushing bins. The patient underwent a left L5-S1 microdiscectomy on 8/15/2014 and left-sided transfacet far lateral discectomy, facetectomy, foraminotomy, decompression of nerve root at L5-S1, and right -sided medial facetectomy, foraminotomy and decompression of nerve root at L5-S1, arthrodesis interbody and posterolateral at L5-S1 on 07/11/16. Patient has attended 13 PT sessions

recovery as quick as possible and without complications, you will need to be non-weight bearing for the first 2 weeks following surgery, keeping your foot elevated. It is important that you continuously wear the boot, keeping your foot locked in plantar flexion for 2 weeks. Forceful active and passive range of motion of the tendon should be avoided for 10-12 weeks. Following the surgery, watch for signs of infection, poor wound healing and scar tissue formation. After 4 weeks begin regular soft tissue treatments

The person posture I will be discussing is using a laptop. The laptop is located on their lap, with the screen about 8 inches from the face. The person I’m observing is also sitting in a chair with a flexible back and a headrest. Even though there is a large backrest, the person is hunched over towards the computer screen. This created a huge curvature in the back, especially in the thoracic region. There is a greater kyphosis curvature within the thoracic region also affects the other regions

DOI: 1/5/2007. Patient is a 51-year-old male supervisor who sustained a low back injury while lifting a platform scale with another employee. Per OMNI, he is status post lumbar surgery and right hip strain/pain. On the QME report by Dr. Raskin dated 2/3/2009, the IW was deemed to have reached P & S status with 16% partial disability. Future medical care includes: medications, physical therapy, MRI, and injection. MRI of the lumbar spine dated 10/16/2012 revealed possible partial left laminectomy

PRE-HOSPITAL CARE: Three critical tasks must be rapidly performed by prehospital providers caring for trauma victims: ●For the individual victim: examination with recognition of severe injuries and injuries with potential to cause rapid decompensation ●For multiple victims: triage with initiation of life-saving treatment ●Stabilization and transport to a hospital capable of addressing the identified injuries Initial evaluation — Once triage is complete, the sickest viable patients are managed first

Your discussion about vertebral augmentation procedure is very informative. It clearly delineates the difference between vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. In response to your query regarding precautions as part of the therapeutic regimen for patients who have undergone these procedures, it is vital to review the cause and events leading to the vertebral fracture. Vertebral fracture is the most common skeletal injury associated with osteoporosis (Lamy, Uebelhart, & Aubry-Rozier, 2013) that said, these

used as a predictor of whole body strength. Hand grip strength is a general term used by strength athletes, referring to the muscular strength and force that they can generate with their hands. The strength of a hand grip is the result of forceful flexion of all finger joints, thumbs, and wrists with the maximum voluntary force that the subject is able to exert under normal biokinetic conditions. Hand grip strength is a physiological variable that is affected by a number of factors including age, gender
