Introduction Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome is a term used to describe pain in the front of the knee around the patella. It is a condition in which the cartilage under the patella is damaged due to an injury or a chronic stress. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is also known as runner’s knee‚ jumper’s knee‚ and can also be referred to as‚ anterior knee pain syndrome. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is more commonly found in the female sex‚ and in young adult athletes. However‚ studies have shown that patellofemoral

Name: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Definition: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder. It affects the small joints of hands and feets‚ and the lining of joints that results in painful swelling. Swelling can cause bone erosion and joint deformity. RA is an autoimmune disorder‚ in which the immune system falsely attacks own body’s tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis not only causes a joint problem‚ but it can also affect the other organs of the body such as the skin‚ eyes‚ lungs‚ and blood

Instead‚ it is the structure of the connective tissue – ligaments‚ tendons‚ joint capsules‚ etc. – which have been loaded beyond their present capacity (Renström & Johnson 1985‚ Counsel & Breidahl 2010).

Essay Title: Pre-Tensioning in Civil Engineering. Introduction : The idea of pre tensioning has been around for centuries and has been applied to many forms‚ such as: wagon wheels‚ wooden barrels etc. In these cases heated metal is made to just fit an object. When the metal cools it contracts and induces prestress into the object thereby strengthening it. The idea of pretensioned concrete has been around since the late 19th century‚ but its use was limited by the quality of materials available

have fused together to give a total of 206 bones in the body. 4. What do bones need in order to be healthy? Healthy bones require calcium and vitamin D to help absorb calcium. They also need exercise. 5. Differentiate between tendons‚ ligaments and joints. A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact. A ligament is a short band of tough fibrous

muscle bulk due to higher levels of testosterone. Increases in tendon strength - tendons are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue designed to withstand 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
