The research article I have choose for this assignment was the turf toe cases. The turf toe injury is a common injury in outdoor sports. Turf toe and any type of injury to the first metatarsophalangeal joints are very common injuries in athletes. This injury could become severe if the plantar plate and sesamoid apparatus is ruptured. If it is ruptured it may be better off with surgery than rehabilitation. In this article the three cases that have been studied concerning the turf toe injury are

Motion is painful. There is pain over the facet joints‚ worsened with loading maneuvers. Active range of motion shows extension and bilateral lateral flexion to 10 degrees‚ bilateral rotation to 30 degrees and flexion to 55 degrees‚ with pain. Assessment includes long-term (current) use of opiate analgesic‚ myalgia‚ cervicalgia‚ chronic pain due to trauma and headache. Treatment plan includes medication management‚ acetaminophen

during the action of a rugby tackle include flexion‚ extension and abduction. These movements are used in order to generate an effective and powerful tackle. The Hinge joints found within the knee and elbow perform a flexion and extension movement to either shorten or lengthen the angle of the joint whereas the ball and socket joints produce an abduction movement whereby a body part moves away from the anatomical position. During a rugby tackle‚ flexion occurs at the elbow. The angle of the elbow

Femur: it is the origin of the vastus intermedius at its upper 2/3 of the anterior surface‚ the muscle is helping in knee extension. 5. Tibia: it is the origin of the tibialis anterior muscle which is attached to the upper 2/3 of the lateral surface of the tibia. It works for dorsal flexion of the ankle‚ inversion of the

There are a number of different methods to measuring strength. Including‚ strength tests‚ for example‚ bench press‚ squat and deadlift. However‚ to gain a precise amount of force production through a muscle contraction‚ a type of dynamometer must be used. The Biodex has shown to be reliable and accurate throughout numerous amounts of studies. To test force production‚ the main method is through an isokinetic test. One of the most reliable and advanced systems is the Biodex isokinetic system. Asundi

The volleyball spike is a process in which the athlete uses their lower extremities to generate ground reaction forces that lead to a vertical jump. The trunk and core are used to maintain balance and stability of the body while the athlete is in mid air. The upper extremities are then used to make initial contact with the ball‚ ultimately sending it over the net onto the other side of the court. There are approximately four phases to a volleyball spike: The run up/attack phase‚ the take off phase

1 Proximal Humeral Fracture Repair and Rehabilitation Surgical Indications and Considerations Anatomical Considerations: Numerous types of proximal humeral fractures can occur each of which have separate surgical indications and considerations. Proximal humeral fractures commonly occur along the physeal lines. Thus‚ fractures may involve the tubercles (greater and/or lesser)‚ surgical neck‚ or anatomical neck of the humerus. The surgical neck lies between the tuberosities and the shaft while
