orthopedic sports medicin doctor. I have chosen these carees because I feel that I can help people and I like to help others who are need. The orthopedic physical therapy focuses on restoring function to the musculoskeletal system including joints tendons ligaments and bones. Many sports injuries fall into this category. Treatment methods include streagth traininig‚ endurance‚ exercises‚ hot and clod packs‚ ultrasounds‚ electrical musele stimulationand joint mobilizatio. A Physical Therapsist helps

and sprains! A sprain is an injury to the ligaments. Ligaments are bands of tough tissue that connects two or more bones together. The most common type of sprain is an ankle sprain. On the other hand a strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon. A tendon is a tough tissue that connects two or more muscles to a bone. The most common cause of a sprain is when the ligaments are stretched to far. IF you play sports like football‚ basketball‚ and maybe if baseball you are at risk of a sprain

Athletes use recovery strategies to resume normal training and competition within the time span of the training program. By using appropriate recovery strategies athlete can maximise gains from training and improve quality in every session‚ improve consistency of quality performance and minimise and remove injuries‚ overtraining‚ illness or burnout. Recovery strategies can be categorised as physiological‚ neural‚ tissue damage or psychological. Physiological strategies I believe that physiological

cradles its soft organs. II. protection- The fused bones of the skull protect the brain. The vertebra surrounds the spinal cord and the rib cage protects vital organs of the thorax. III. Body movement- Skeletal muscles‚ which attach to the bones by tendons‚ use bones as levers to move the body and parts. IV. Blood cell formation- they occur in the red marrow cavities of certain bones. V. mineral storage- bone is a reservoir for minerals‚ most importantly calcium and phosphate. They are released

Lab #3: Isotonic contraction and the effect of load on skeletal muscles Abstract The job of the motor nervous system is to control certain elements in muscles simultaneously to ultimately produce movement. Movement of the body is the result of specialized cells directly associated with skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscle and must contract before movement can occur. We know the muscle team moving the arm is formed at the biceps and triceps. Biceps can bend the elbow‚ but

Reflex and Sensory Physiology. Lab # 4 Satta Charis Bemah Wilmington University Reflex and Sensory Physiology Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? The purpose of this lab is focus towards testing our reflexes and sensory physiology. We use these every day but we rarely do understand how much they contribute to our ability to function normally. A reflex is a rapid‚ involuntary motor response to stimuli. We will be conducting several

your run time slowly & running on soft surface. Quads Your quadriceps are the strongest muscle group in your body because they control it’s heaviest bone- the femur. Stretch to relax them after a run. Knees connective tissue such as your ligaments & tendons‚ take longer than muscles to adapt to the rigorous of running. Increase your weekly run time by just 10 per cent from week to week to give your knee a chance to catch up to your muscles. Soft Lending will save your feet. Have Fun Enjoy your runs

effective. In order for stretching to prevent injuries there needs to be an element of flexibility in the muscle-tendon unit. If the contractile elements of a muscle are high then more energy can be absorbed therefore reducing the chance of injury to a muscle. However‚ if the contractile elements are low little energy is absorbed‚ which results in stiffness and reduced flexibility of the tendons and increases the chance of injury (Witvrouw et al.‚ 2004). Sections of evidence have supported the use of PNF
