A strain is an injury to the muscle to tendon in the body. They are also referring to as sport injuries. My purpose of writing this essay is to compare and contrast sprains and strains. The reason that I am writing this essay is to inform the reader on the difference, prevention, and treatment of a sprain or strain injury. Sprains Sprains can be a painful injury that can affect the ligament by being over stretched or torn.
Choose a medical condition that interest you and research it. Write about the possible use of hypnosis in the treatment of the condition as you see it. Osteoarthritis The condition I have chosen is Osteoarthritis (OA). Arthritis means inflammation of the joints and osteoarthritis is the most common form In UK. It affects the joint cartilage and the bone tissue next to the cartilage.
In addition to being flexible, each hip joint must be capable of supporting half of the body’s weight along with any other forces acting upon the body. During running and jumping, for example, the force of the body’s movements multiplies the force on the hip joint to many times the force exerted by the body’s weight. The hip joint must be able to accommodate these extreme forces repeatedly during intense physical activities. · Shoulder joint - the shoulder joint is a shallow ball-and-socket joint between the humerus - upper-arm bone - and the glenoid fossa of the scapula - shoulder blade. A unique joint, the shoulder has only one bony attachment to the rest of the skeleton in the clavicle - collarbone - where it attaches to the scapula.
In the United States injury of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is very common. The Ligament is commonly injured during athletic activity. As the sports activity increases, the numbers of ACL injuries have increased over the past few decades. Over the last 15 years orthopedic surgeons like Dr. Cole have performed several successful operations to reconstruct, repair, or revise the torn anterior cruciate ligament. The ACL controls how far forward the tibia moves in relation to the femur.
The patella component fits underneath the patella (kneecap). The new hinge will behave like a hinge and is very similar to a real knee. The following image ² Identify the types of injuries or diseases that would necessitate the use of the device Injuries that commonly initiate the need for a prosthetic knee include: Severe osteoarthritis-the most common injuries Ligament damage or infection that leads to the above Rheumatoid arthritis Crystal deposition diseases-such as pseudogout Avascular necrosis-this is the death of bone following blood supply Bone dysplasis- disorders of the growth of bone Tumours that affect the knee These are a few of the common injuries and diseases that would cause severe pain or danger and therefore prosthetic knee is advised as a solution. The surgery is a last resort and only performed if medicine or injections do not provide sufficient relief. Identify the biomaterials used to make the device and describe the properties that make them suitable for their use and for implantation into the body.
TKO – Is it worth it? John Adams Medical Writing 4/6/2014 The pain associated with knee replacement can be great, as nurses we must help our patients deal with this pain during there road to recovery. To be better able to help our patients it is important that we understand what the knee is, how it functions and what the causes of pain after replacement are. The knee is basically a large joint that allows for movement between the lower leg and the upper body. The knee allows for three distinct planes, these include flexion and extension, abduction and adduction as well as internal and external rotation.

Virtually all synchondroses are synarthrotic. In symphyses the articular surface surface of the bone are covered with articular hyaline cartilage , which in turn is fused to an intervening pad, or plate of fibrocartilage, which is the main connecting material. Fibrocartilage acts as a shock absorber and permits a limited amount of movement at the joint. 3a Articulating bone: Articulating" means that the bones are moving relative to each other at a joint. The actual surfaces of the bones that might touch the other are the articulating surfaces, and the cartilage covering those surfaces is called articular cartilage.
Nicole LaHaie Ms. Johnson EN111 – I-Search Paper 14 February 2013 Word Count: 855 ACL Tear in Female Athletes The Story of my Search Having torn my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) my senior year of high school, I had many questions on the subject. I remember my doctor telling me that females tear their ACL four to ten times more than boys. I thought to myself why? Before starting this paper, I had very little knowledge about the exact reason WHY females are more likely to tear their ACL’s. I knew that men and women’s body anatomy was different and that may have been a cause, but I was not sure about anything.
