sacrum and the coccyx (the tailbone) are the bottom portion of the spine that make the connection to the pelvis; the presence of a ligament connecting the sacrum to the pelvis is not a typical joint‚ as the pelvic structure is capable of very little flexion or extension on its own. The pelvis also protects the lower organs of the abdomen‚ particularly those of the renal and intestinal tracts. Also important is the rigid and supportive structure of the pelvis‚ an essential aspect of the ability of the

Analysis of Hurdling Mechanics Brian Fuentes Lynchburg College The purpose of this paper is to analyze the motion and mechanics of hurdling during the 100 and 110m hurdles in order to better understand the proper technique to clear the barriers. When analyzing hurdling technique it’s important to consider proper body mechanics in order to understand the motion of the skill. While athletic ability is an important factor for this race‚ proper technique is more important for running

Spondylolisthesis is the displacement of one vertebra relative to the vertebra below and is typically a progression of spondylolysis‚ which is a deformity of the pars interarticularis. Displacement typically occurs in the anterior direction but can also occur‚ although rarely‚ in the posterior or lateral directions (Metz & Deviren‚ 2007). Prevalence is around 3-6% of the population and it is found in 50% of people with low back pain (Foreman et al.‚ 2013; Lane Wimberly & Lauerman‚ 2002). “Spondylolisthesis”

With the knee placed in flexion‚ the scalpel penetrates the cleansed skin. Layers of underlying fat are exposed as the surgeon works diligently to uncover the anomalistic tibia and femur. The surgeon strategically shaves the ends of the bones with a bone saw‚ removing the arthritically damaged surfaces of the distal end of the femur and the proximal end of the tibia. Pieces of bone are propelled through the operating room as the surgeon unambiguously reshapes the bones to fit the new prostheses.
