are joints that connect these together. A ligament connects bone to support joints. Muscles work by the fibers they contain contracting; this makes the muscle shorten. When the muscle shortens it pulls on the tendon and then on the bone to which it is attached. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons. Bones in limbs are covered with tissue. Not moving an individual correctly can cause ligaments to sprain. This is why individuals must never be dragged when being moved as this can cause joints to

Arthritis is the swelling of joints and causes a lot of pain. Pain can be in the wrists‚ hands‚ neck‚ knees‚ every joint you can think of. Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones and can leave a person lacking bone tissue. Tips to avoid these types of bone diseases as you age; exercise regularly‚ take your calcium (milk‚ vitamins

and the knees. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint‚ which means it can move in all directions. The knee joint is a compound condylar synovial joint and allows for flexion and extension of the leg. In this experiment the angle‚ angular velocity‚ and the angular acceleration of the knee and hip were analyzed in oscillatory motion. In the first set of experiments‚ the independent oscillation of the hip and knee were isolated and observed. Then the oscillation of these joints was viewed in conjunction

ROM exercises prevent joints from becoming stiff and contractures (deformities) from developing. ROM exercises allow clients’ joints to move more freely and as a result‚ the clients remain more independent. They prevent the loss of minerals from bones (osteoporosis) and improve circulation. ROM exercises also prevent muscles

such as an increased quadriceps angle‚ trochlear dysplasia or general patella instability (Cheng et al. 2014). The main mechanism involved in a dislocation is a sudden twisting motion. The ligaments that are involved in stabilising the patellofemoral joint include the patellofemoral‚ patellomeniscal and patellotibial ligaments. All three of these ligaments help to prevent lateral movement of the patella. The

Knuckle Cracking is not harmful Over many generations‚ many people have been warned by someone‚ that knuckle cracking is bad and it will cause disorder in long run if repeatedly performed. Why many people are in habit of cracking their knuckle is unknown‚ it maybe because it brings sense of relief or they enjoying doing it for some other reasons. Moreover‚ there has been studies where participants were habitually cracking their knuckles and they were compared to people who were non-knuckle crackers

For proper management of displaced fractures‚ the joint should be exposed for accurate assessment of anatomic reduction‚ extra-articular placement of fixation screws‚ and complete removal offree fragments [26]. Precise restoration of the articular surface and joints congruity are the primary goals in treating displaced acetabular fractures with open reduction and internal fixation. Prognosis mainly depends

Inferior Tib-Fib joint strain Superior Tib- Fib joint eversion strain About the condition The ankle is most commonly sprained by what is called an “inversion” injury‚ which means the ankle has rolled over and outwards. This strains the lateral (outside) ligaments of the ankle and the Inferior TibFib joint. The reverse injury an “eversion” strain is less common and involves a greater force that pushes the ankle inwards. This strains the medial (inside) ligament. Inferior Tib- Fib joint Reccurence

Ligaments in Knee: In general‚ ligaments are the structures that connect bone to bone around a joint by connective tissues. The ligaments in the knee are used to stabilize as well as support it when there is different kind of movement involving different positions. There are four different ligaments in the knee and they are 1. Medial collateral ligament:
