always possible. These players are at risk of many injuries‚ from not so severe to very severe. However‚ soccer players are affected by three different types of injuries. The first type of injury that affects soccer players is Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). This is one of the most common injuries in soccer and one of the most severe ones. When a player suffers from this type of injury‚ it usually keeps him out for at least 6 months off the pitch. This is what happened to Riccardo Montolivo‚ an

painful sensations to the palm and wrist. The median nerve is mainly in charge of the hand movements‚ controlling impulses to the hand muscles and the sensations felt in the palm and fingers. The carpal tunnel‚ then again‚ is a narrow passageway of ligaments found in the base of the hand‚ and is where the median nerve can be found. Too much swelling of the tendons and muscles in the carpal tunnel pressures the median nerve‚ thus the pain. Causes At most cases‚ there are seldom problems with

tension forces along their length. Like muscles‚ tendons adapt to the mechanical loading of regular exercise. A general adaptation is increased strength but different types of training will exert differing effects on muscle – tendon complexes. Ligaments and tendons will increase in flexibility and strength with exercise. Articular cartilage also becomes thicker.

supination of the forearm (“Elbow Anatomy”). Ligaments of connective tissue hold the bones together and form a joint capsule‚ which encloses the joint and contains a lubricating fluid called synovial fluid (Conrad and Hooper 12). With the help of muscles‚ ligaments‚ and tendons‚ the elbow joint can bend and extend freely to allow movement of the arm. On the lower end of the humorous‚ there are two knobs that serve as locations for muscle and ligament attachments – the medial epicondyle and the lateral

Bone is a unique combination of organic and inorganic components. * Two levels of study * Macroscopic: gross morphological features * Microscopic: aka histology‚ study of tissues * Two levels of histology * Cellular * Molecular Bone Biology – Macroscopic * All bone in adult skeleton

patients. In a spinal fusion a surgeon joins spinal bones together‚ restricting motion between the bones of the spine. Fusion also limits the stretching of nerves. Another example is a laminectomy in which a surgeon removes parts of the bones or ligaments in the back (Liebenson). This surgery helps relieve pressure on spinal nerves that may be causing pain or weakness. During a foraminotomy‚ a surgeon cuts away bone at the sides of vertebrae to widen the space where nerve roots exit the spine. The
