Lesser pelvis

between the height of 4’8” and 5’3”. Summary of Findings: -sex: Through examination of the bones, the individual is identified as a female. The main bones used to determine sex are the pelvis and the skull. The pelvis is a crucial indicator of gender, but because the individual is small in stature, the pelvis may not be as accurate. Nevertheless, main parts of the

Chapter 1: Introduction The bony pelvis is consisting of 4 bones which are 2 os coxae or innominate bones, 1 sacrum and 1 coccyx. According to Applegate, E. J. (2010), the term pelvis is used to describe large bony structure at the base of the spine which the lower limbs and many other vertebrates are attached to it. Thus, pelvis is applied to the bony that formed by the coccyx, the sacrum and the two hip bones which are called as the bony pelvis. The term of pelvis also can consider as the cavity

Introduction Evidence based practice is the foundation of safe and effective patient centered care. In a medical-surgical environment a holistic knowledge, understanding and approach to patient care is crucial. During this essay I will demonstrate my knowledge of these principles through a case study analysis involving a patient named Molly Moony. This analysis will discuss Molly’s injury of a fractured neck of femur, her surgical procedure, the anatomy and physiology of the hip joint, her immediate

many of the current barre methods do exercises that may make your legs and tummy look good, they ultimately can damage the knee joints and lumbar spine. Neutral Pelvis v. Flat Back Like classical Pilates and the Lotte Berk method, many of the current barre franchise regimes place the pelvis in a poster pelvic tilt instead of a neutral pelvis. Why is this

INTRODUCTION Introduction: According to the latest information from the WHO (World Health Organization) and CDC (Center of Disease Control), more than nine people die every minute from injuries or violence, and 5.8 million people of all ages and economic groups die every year from unintentional injuries and violence. The burden of injury is even more significant, accounting for 12% of the world’s burden of disease (Cannon et al., 2014). Penetrating abdominal trauma, including low and high velocity

Hip Replacement Versus Traditional Hip Replacement The continuous aging of the human body combined with the stress of physical activities create a repeated stress on the joints of our bodies that carry the potential risk of developing osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis that is the worsening of the joints occurring particularly in the hands, knees, and hip. Osteoarthritis occurs primarily with elderly individuals who have severely worsened their joints leading

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and Legg-Calve-Perthes (LCP) disease are developmental conditions (1, 2) with SCFE being described as a common source of pain and disability, and the most common cause of degenerative hip disease in middle-aged patients (3, 4). Proximal femoral osteotomies following SCFE aim to restore more normal anatomy, improve function and reduce the morbidity and complications of pain, reduced range of movement, early arthritis and leg length discrepancy (3). Up to 50%

Do you know someone who has or had hip dysplasia? Let alone, do you know what hip dysplasia is? Developmental dysplasia of the hip, which is abbreviated as DDH, is an abnormal correlation between the femoral head and the acetabulum (Hart, Albright, Gleeson, & Grottkau, 2006). The problem can either be at the ball or socket of the hip joint, or in worse cases, both. This condition can be either hereditary or acquired after birth. The condition could get worse after being active, such as the early

Although common in postpartum women, a separated rectus, also known as diastasis recti, can also occur in obese individuals and in children up to 2 years of age. (See References 1, p. 337) This condition occurs when there's a separation between the right and left side of the rectus abdominis muscle. This can trigger pelvic and back pain, and make it hard to stabilize the trunk. (See References 2) Although it can correct itself, targeted exercise can lend a helping hand.
