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. Things to Consider Abdominal

(2014). The effect of the abdominal drawing-in manoeuvre during forward steps. Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 26(6), 889-893. Performance of the ADIM with forward steps had a positive influence on abdominal thickness and kinematics of hip and pelvis joints. The ADIM, a neuromuscular control exercise, increases function of the TrA and internal oblique (IO) to create improved trunk stability. The objective “was to examine the influence of the ADIM on forward steps as a gait exercise.” A convenience

Monday Mourning by Kathy Reichs is a crime fiction book, where, a forensic anthropologist, Temperance Brennan tries to unveil the identity of three skeletons that were found in the basement of a pizza parlor in Montreal, Canada. Brennan works with homicide detectives Luc Claudel and his partner, Michel Charbonneau, and Andrew Ryan, who is also her lover. Throughout the book, both Brennan and Claudel doubted each other’s competence to solve the case. According to Brennan institution, she believes

Introduction Physiological anomalies, regardless of animal species, have captured the imagination of people throughout history, whether it be showcased in a traveling freakshow or inspiring mythical creatures in the likes of Cerberus. Congenital duplication refers to birth defects in which a fetus is born with extra appendages, organs, or other bodily characteristics due to a multitude of causes [1]. These include maternal deficiencies and diet, environmental factors, genetics, as well as bacterial

race and gender, due to genetics, can make the height different. The age was 30 years and above. By observing some of the skeletal structures, it was able to give an estimate. Places that were inspected were the humerus, femur, and pelvis. It was especially the pelvis – where all segments of the sacrum are united with no evidence of epiphyseal unions – that gave away the fact that she was 30 years old plus. The others, like the femur and humerus, would give a general age however the standards stopped

A national consensus suggests that approximately 340,000 hip fractures occur each year. Nearly 90% of these fractures have been association with falls. The frequency of falls appears to be particularly high among nursing home residents, in which 50% of the residents fall per year. Furthermore, researchers vastly attribute the high risk of falls and hip fractures in the nursing home population to the lack of postural instability. Thus, they have focused on designing methods to reduce the impact of

Pregnancy is a wonderful thing but it does come with its own set of down sides. Some of those are hot flashes and back pains. The AZMED Maternity Belt helps with the back pain and has a breathable material to help you from getting overly hot. Let’s look at some of the other features that this belt has to offer. Here are some of the pros that the AZMED Maternity Belt has to offer: • The AZMED is made from a breathable fabric to help you from getting too hot under your band. • This maternity band lifts
