important stabilizer of the tibiofemoral joint. The ACL has a proximal attachment on the posteromedial portion of the lateral condyle of the femur and creates an anterior medial vector to reach its distal attachment at the anteromedial tibia. The anteromedial vector the ACL makes allows it to prevent primarily anterior translation of the tibia on the femur and secondarily tibial rotation subluxation on the femur and both valgus and varus forces at the tibiofemoral joint. In the United States‚ there are 200

Study of False Memories: The Maintaining and Creation of False Memory Syndrome The research of false memory syndrome was a newly emerged field of study in the early 1900s. Recent studies have established the proneness of the brain’s ability to misconstrue information to fit what relates to an individual’s surroundings. Although psychologists have already confirmed the malleability of the human mind‚ the question arises of how and why false memories are created (Laney & Loftus 2013). False memory syndrome

anterior cruciate ligament injury also referred as an ACL injury “caused by a sudden deceleration or landing maneuver with the leg in a vulnerable position” tearing the anterior cruciate ligament. There are three major bones that meet to form your knee joint known as the femur (thighbone)‚ tibia (shinbone)‚ and kneecap (patella). These bones are then connected to each other by ligaments that act as strong ropes in order to hold the bones together and stabilize the knee. One of these ligaments is the anterior
