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

Scoliosis Gina Amato and Amber Kral Triton College Abstract This research paper is based on the skeletal pathological condition known as scoliosis. Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral bending and twisting of the vertebral column. The following paper presents research on causes along with possible complications that can arise while acquiring this condition. Additional research on tests/exams available to help diagnose scoliosis and how it appears radiographically is also discussed

The brain and the spinal cord of the central nervous system are buffered by a number of protective layers known as the meninges. These include three main membranes of connective tissue including: the dura mater‚ the arachnoid layer and the pia mater [6]. The two innermost layers‚ collectively known as the leptomeninges‚ include the pia mater and the arachnoid mater that buffer the brain and spinal cord [7]. As indicated in image III below‚ the subarachnoid space is the area located between the

Lou Gehrig’s Disease Lou Gehrig’s disease‚ or otherwise known as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)‚ is a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The motor neurons navigate from the brain to the spinal cord‚ and then move onto the muscles through out the body. Lou Gehrig’s disease is a fatal disease with no cure. This disease was given its name from a major league baseball player Lou Gehrig‚ who played for the New York Yankees. Lou suffered from this
