Anterior Cruciate Ligament Analysis

What is the medial collateral ligament (MCL)? The MCL is one of the main four ligaments that is part of the knee. This ligament is a broad, thick band that runs down the inner part of the knee, from the femur to the top of the tibia, but is located outside the joint itself. The job of the MCL is to support the knee with the help of the other ligaments in the knee. When stress is applied to this ligament it aids control in transferring the join through a normal range of motion.

Rotator cuff injuries are pretty popular and happen to a lot of people. Basically, the two most common types of injury for the rotator cuffs are tears and impingements. Impingements on the shoulder occurs when the soft tissues of your rotator cuff become inflamed and swollen. When this happens, there will be an expansion in size and this will make movement of the shoulders a little bit difficult. This will cause pinching between the shoulder blade and the arm bone when you try to move your shoulders.

A thick, triangular bone which is known as patella lies anterior surface between the femur and tibia. In each knee joint, there is two pieces of C-shaped cartilage which lies between the surfaces of the femur and tibia. The lateral side of the meniscus is known ad lateral meniscus while the medial side is known as medial meniscus. The major role of the menisci is to absorb the impact load between the femur and tibia and also to provide some degree of stabilization to

Among the 29 catastrophic injuries, 17 were severe head injuries, resulting in 13 skull fractures and 2 deaths, and 8 were cervical fractures. Boden later suggested that spotters were given better training, complex stunts be performed and practiced on floor mats, complex stunts should not be done on a wet surface, and coaches should be encouraged to get certified in order to decrease injuries in cheerleading. As well as suggesting the participation of pyramids and basket tosses be limited to cheerleaders with more experience and have mastered all other skills. (Mueller, 2009). Cheerleading injuries have not received the same amount of concern as compared to other sports with regards to tracking and reportability.

The most common organs involved are the uterus (uterine prolapse), the bladder (cystocele), anterior rectal wall (rectocele), and small bowel (enterocele). These organs prolapse out of their normal position and shift into or expel out of the vaginal canal. A prolapse can occur if an individual 's lower pelvic floor muscles are weakened and damaged from excessive pressure and stretching, which can be caused by prolonged and vaginal childbirth, surgery, advancing age, chronic constipation, cancer, and even obesity. Additionally, postmenopausal women have an increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse due to the decreased production of estrogen, which is an essential component in manufacturing collagen. Therefore, a decrease in estrogen is associated with a decrease in collagen, which normally enables the supporting tissues and ligaments in the pelvic cavity to stretch and return to their normal size and position.

Laterally, and in less severe cases, AC joint separation is confined to that of the acromioclavicular ligament including “ligamentous strain….or rupture of the acromioclavicular ligament” (Corley & Freeman, 2003, p.4). However, in more severe cases, the coracoclavicular ligaments, medial to the AC joint, are also involved and separated or deformed in response to injury (“Acromioclavicular separation”, n.d.). Therefore, when AC joint separation occurs, stability within the shoulder is greatly disturbed. Occurrence Shoulder separation is not an uncommon event. It

Patients with endometriosis mainly complain of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia. The associated symptoms can impact the patient’s general physical, mental, and social well being.”  There are many theories on the etiology of endometriosis. One of which is called The Theory of Retrograde Menstruation. This theory deducts that when the endometrium is shed it backs up through the fallopian tubes and into the woman’s abdominal cavity. Then, month by month when a woman is having her menses, this tissue grows and contracts the same way it would in the uterus.

We’re here to show you the all-stars. The definition of a sport is an “activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment” (Sport). So is it not considered a sport if a ball is not involved? Cheerleading is the second most dangerous sport under horseback riding (The Top Tens). We suffer more injuries and more concussions than any other sport.

Having a cold sore when you are one of the sexiest women on the planet and someone has a camera. Then your cold sore is front page news and open to wild speculation. The photographer was trying to capture a shot of Jessica's engagement ring ( and it’s a whopper right?) but then someone noticed her angry, red lip. Cold sores are usually a symptom of a common ailment known as herpes simplex one which affects many people worldwide and is transferred by physical contact.

“The most common types of injuries in youth football players are bruises, ligament sprains and muscle strains.” “The most common areas of the body for injuries are the hand and wrist, ankle, foot and knee.” “Concussions and other head injuries as well as spinal and neck injuries are less common.” http://www.livestrong.com/article/358827-percentage-of-kids-who-are-injured-in-football/#sthash.ZiqvdVRt.dpuf Concussions are more likely to happen at older age such as high school and so on because the force of contacts from the players are stronger also from way of hitting one
