According to Hébert-Losier et al. (2009) there are no consistent evaluation purpose, test parameters, outcome measurements, normative values, or reliability and validity are currently documented for the calf-raise tests. However, the calf-raise test still commonly used on the sports & exercise 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

is the Hips joint and how does it move safely? The hip joint is a ball and socket joint, technically referred to as ‘synovial’ joint, because the Head of the Femur, is attached with ligaments. Furthermore, the synovial joint is held together to the socket of the hip with a strong fibred sleeve, the Capsule and the joint is moved by the muscles in the hip such as the Piriformis, Gluteus Minimus and Superior gemellus, which allows the hip to move in a rotation motion. In addition, the hip is a very

left arm while simultaneously extending her right hip and knee. The muscle fibers of her anterior deltoid engage and act as the agonist for shoulder flexion while the gluteus maximus engages as the agonist for hip extension. The quadriceps femoris group act as the agonist for knee extension. The antagonists for shoulder flexion are the posterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, teres major, pectoralis major, and the triceps brachii. The antagonist for her hip extension is the iliopsoas while the hamstring

must chose a laughing angle, somewhere between extremes of 45° and 90°. This is an improvement for the athlete as their angle reached 109° so therefore the athlete should be aware how to improve this because it could save them an injury. Hip flexion is the primary hip movement in straight ahead kicks because the player swings his leg straight back while

Snapping Hip Exercises Snapping hip syndrome, also known as dancer's hip, is a medical condition where you feel a snapping sensation, or hear a snapping sound, in the hip when you are running, walking, or swinging your leg around. For many people, the problem is little more than a nuisance, and the only symptoms are the snapping sensation, and sound itself. However, for athletes or dancers, snapping hip exercises may help alleviate the weakness, or pain that sometimes interfere with their performance

The Lisfranc fracture-dislocation is characterised as an injury of the tarsometatarsal joints of the foot. This region of the foot is prone to injury due to the lack of ligaments separating the bases of the first and second metatarsals (Bontrager & Lampignano, 2010). The Lisfranc joint articulates between the cuneiforms and cuboid of the foot, along with the distal end of metatarsals, and separates the forefoot from the midfoot. The joint can be seen from three different views in Figure 1 of the

Physical therapy practices have an expense of time and should only be performed by a licensed or certified veterinarian or physical therapist. The question of which is a better practice for the rehabilitation in canine between aquatic therapy or traditional land-based form of therapy? Physical therapy in practice to canines started in the 1980s’ and has taken off ever since. A program for patients to get back to a sustainable condition in a time period helping the animals recover. Aquatic therapy

Three materials, either in use for hip protective pads or with plausibly suitable characteristics, were selected for evaluation. The first material was 3D vertically lapped nonwoven fabric; the second material was the same, but with its upper and lower surfaces covered by single layers of jersey-knitted fabric. The third material was polyurethane closed-cell foam that was claimed to be suitable for hip protective pads by the manufacturer. The mean values of experimental pads’ thicknesses were 14

a fall at home, resulting in an intracapsular fracture of the hip at the femoral neck. Mrs. Pink has a history of cancer and cardiac diseases and has severe rheumatoid arthritis. Due to ageing patients putting a great deal of strain on the health care system, the incidences of hip fractures in the elderly are a major concern and requires careful consideration regarding treatment. Known as a major cause of disability in the elderly, hip fractures and their subsequent need for surgery result in chronic
