Hypermobility

Upon investigating the properties on how to lower the height in a mechanically advantageous way, it has allowed me to think consciously about what my body is doing in movement and how applying technique is different to simply copying the movement from the tutor. At first it was to identify a particular struggle that was dominant within our dance technique classes, choosing the lowering of the height occurred when feeling almost awkward doing the movement as I felt imbalanced or not doing it ‘correctly’

As indicated in the beginning of this letter, Aetna denied coverage because this procedure, FAI Repair, is not medically necessary. Additionally, according to Clinical Policy Bulletin #0736 “Aetna consider[s] surgery for FAI impingement experimental and investigational for all other indications.” Below I detail point-by-point of Aetna’s Clinical Policy Bulletin #0736 as to why FAI surgery is medically necessary to my condition. A. “Diagnosis of definite femoro-acetabular impingement defined by appropriate

I would attempt them without any hesitation or consideration of any potential negative consequences. I was determined to learn how to do it and to be like my new friends. My friends were shocked when they saw how flexible I was. Because of my hypermobility due to Ehlers-Dandles syndrome, I was able

Relationship of Hamstrings: Quadriceps Strength Ratio on Female Athletes ACL Epidemic Knee Injury Epidemiology Since the implementation of Title IX in 1972, more females are participating in sports (Hewett, 2000). Title IX mandated equal sports participation for females in both secondary and college-level education systems (Arendt, Agel, & Dick, 1999). The increased participation in female sports has increased the awareness of health in female athletes. In both male and female sports there are

childhood pain of the musculoskeletal system. It is estimated that up to 4 in every 10 children, both boys and girls, between the ages of 3 – 12 will experience GPs at least once. The etiology is unknown, but several theories involving flatfeet, hypermobility, reduced pain threshold, lower bone strength and psychological issues are all being studied as contributing factors. RLS manifests as an uncomfortable sensation in the legs and creates the urge to move the legs around to escape the discomforting

The etiology of TMD is complex and multifactorial (64-66). Numerous factors can contribute to TMDs. Trauma, disk deformation, occlusal abnormalities, and steepness of the articular eminence, hyperactivity of the mastication muscles, and joint hypermobility or degeneration has all been proposed as risk factors. Many factors also are associated with the causes

complications endured by individuals with this condition, but also provided me with insight into the emotional struggles faced by both the patient and their families. Under the mentorship of this physician, I also completed my Master’s thesis on Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. It was engaging to be able to apply what I observed in the clinic with current research studies to create a tool to assist primary care physicians in the diagnosis of this condition. As research has always been an important component

at birth. Also, Morton’s toe may be caused when the first metatarsal bone is abnormally short compared to the second metatarsal bone and when the first metatarsal bone has more motion, which means it is unstable. This instability is known as “Hypermobility of the First Metatarsal Bone” (Schuler). Additionally, Morton’s toe can be simply recognized without an X-ray. Some symptoms are more noticeable than others. For instance, if one looks at his feet and notices that his second toe is longer than

Since the beginning of 20th century, collagen has been reviewed extensively in studies and researches. Collagen is the most abundant protein in vertebras and signifies 30% of the proteins in the body. The composition of collagen is manifested in various parts of the body like bone, skin, cartilage and blood vessel. Collagen fibre is the main structure in extracellular matrix contributing great assistance in maintaining the integrity of cells and tissues structures. The major functions of collagen

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Looking back, there were a lot of things that made more sense following my diagnosis with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, commonly referred to as EDS. This is a rare genetic condition separated into six different types; Classical, Hypermobility, Vascular, Kyphoscoliosis, Arthrochalasia, amd Dermatospraxis. There are varying degrees of symptoms and seriousness but a common thread is the defect in the collagen proteins which allow the skin, joints, connective tissues, and organs to function
