therapy that is often prescribed for ligament sprains‚ muscle strains‚ arthritis and cerebral palsy. In this paper I will explain each of these 3 injuries and why it is often more effective and beneficial to use aquatic therapy in place of “in office” or “land” physical therapy. Aquatic physical therapy is a form of rehabilitative health care for musculo-skeletal pain and/or disorders. Musculo-skeletal disorders affect the body’s muscles‚ joints‚ tendons‚ ligaments and nerves‚ and can be as simple

workouts. If the athlete is not successful with activity modification and specific workouts they have to get surgery done. Another common sports injury is medial ulnar ligament injury. If there is stress placed on the joint it can lead to microtraumatic injury and valgus instability. When the medial ulnar collateral ligament is disrupted it cause abnormal stress which is placed on the articulating surfaces can lead to degenerative changes to osteophyte formation. Valgus stress can also lead to

back aligned. Movement/ Attachment: The skeleton is jointed to allow movement. A joint is an articulation of two or more connecting bones‚ providing us with either stability or movement. Muscles are attached to our bones by tendons‚ and ligaments attach bone to bone. Movement is very important to any sports it allows us to make the certain movements needed to succeed. For example when striking the ball in football‚ a range of muscles and bones work together to allow for this movement

stretches or tears your ligaments. These are usually found on the ankle because a lot of pressure is being put on the ligaments. A strain also stretches or tears muscles or tendons. These often happen in the lower back and hamstrings. Causes of a Sprain A common example of a sprain is a twisted ankle. This usually happens when you are doing things such as running‚ hiking‚ and football. Stepping on an uneven surface‚ it is possible to roll your ankle. Doing this‚ it stretches ligaments on the outside of

athletic injuries. If one muscle or muscle group becomes stronger than another group‚ the weaker muscles become fatigued faster and increases the chance for injury. The stronger muscles will cause stretching and pulling of opposing ligaments and cause the supporting ligaments to tighten. This can lead to chronic pain and an unnatural wearing of the bones. To improve muscle imbalances an athlete should perform exercises that are called unilateral exercises like lunges and squats. A balanced strength

tissues are not used they become weak and basically waste away‚ because when not in use less blood and less nutrients are supplied. Why could a tendon be used to replace a ligament? Tendons and ligaments are composed of the same tissue (dense regular connective tissue)‚ therefore tendons can be used to replace a torn or damaged ligament. Consider the overall structure of the knee joint. (You may wish to draw a picture or label a diagram.) What type of membrane lines the joint? What is its function?

Every year thousands of pitchers hear some of the most dreaded words possible‚ “You need Tommy John Surgery.” Tommy John Surgery affects many baseball players every year and threatens a lot of athlete’s careers. Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) damage can be common in both professional and college pitchers‚ as well as the occasional high school athlete. A damaged UCL often requires surgery‚ and an exceptionally long road to recovery. While it may put a career on hold‚ the ultimate goal is to allow

As were moving along we are going to pass through the inguinal ligament that forms a band going from anterior superior iliac spine to the pubis ligament (Thibodeau & Patton‚ 2008). The inguinal ligament is to protect the tissue movement between the trunk and the lower extremities. Going north from the inguinal ligament you will see the external iliac vein which is a continuation of the femoral vein just above the inguinal ligament. We are going to start again at the groin area; the external vein
