There may be limited movement or maybe very painful. The person may limp or be unable to bear weight. Tendon or the sheath around a tendon becomes inflamed and the sufferer gets a excruciating pain. There is a build up of excessive fluid in the synovium (membrane in the knee capsule). This may also indicate towards an underlying condition.
* Acute Cruciate Ligament Injury The ACL, or Acute Cruciate Ligament, is one of the most important ligaments in the body. This ligament is located at the knee. There are four thick bands of tissue, called ligaments, which stabilize the knee and keep its movement in one plane. There is the medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, and the anterior cruciate ligament, which forms an X with the PCL inside the knee joint to prevent the knee from sliding back to front and vice-versa. The ACL provides stability to the knee and minimize stress across the knee joint.
The hamstrings are tendons that attach three large muscles at the back of the thigh to the bone. Also known as the posterior thigh muscles\ are made up of three large muscles, the Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, and Bicep Femoris. The Semitedinosus begins at the Ischial Tuberosity and is inserted at the medial surface of the Tibia (-------------). The Semimembranosus origin is located on the Ischial Tuberosity and is inserted on the medial tibial condyle. As for the Bicep Femoris, there are two sections to this muscle.
When supporting moving and positioning activities, it is important to remember that muscles can only move the bones at a joint as far as the joint allows. For example, the elbow and knee joints have limited movement; trying to extend these joints beyond their range can cause painful damage to the joint. Nerve fibres run all the way through the body and send ipulses to muscles, which enable the muscles to contract and relax. Nerve fibres are delicate structures and can easily become damaged through poor moving and handling techniues. Outcome 1.2 There are a number of conditions that can have an impact on the correct movement and positioning of people.
-tendons attach muscles to the bones - cartilage protects bones within joints. - synovial fluid: acts as lubricant - synovial membrane: secretes synovial fluid - ligament: joins bone to bone and is strong and flexible - muscle - fibrous capsule: encloses joints - pad of cartilage: gives additional protection - cartilage: absorbs synovial fluid and acts as shock absorber - bone - tendon: joins muscle to bone At a joint there is: Joints and movement continued 2 of 60 1 of 60 How do muscles work? - muscle is made up of bundles of muscle fibres, each fibre is a single muscle cell - each muscle cell is multinucleate (has more than one nucleus) this is because a single nucleus could not effectively control the metabolism of such a long cell. - Tendons connect muscle to bone - the muscle is made up of bundles of muscle fibres. these are bound together by connective tissue.
When a surgeon amputates a leg, he or she makes a _Transverse_ cut through the bone. 7. The left eye is __Medial_ to the left ear. 8. In anatomical position, the thumb is _Lateral_ to the little finger.
These act as a type of shock absorber between the bones. Connecting the tibia and femur at the center of the knee is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL is a resilient band of tissue that inhibits the tibia from excessively extending past the femur. (Flegel, 2008) The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), along with the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), and the Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), all are responsible for stabilizing and controlling the motion of the knee. The ACL is responsible for approximately 90% of the knee’s solidity.
Unit 4222-232Move and position individuals in accordance with their plan of care (HSC 2028) 1.0 Understand anatomy and physiology in relation to moving and positioningindividuals 1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals Bones and muscles are concerned with the movement of the body. The skeleton is a rigid framework that gives shape and support to the body and is jointed to permit movement. The vertebral column is the basis of the skeleton and consists of a series of bony rings united by inter-vertebral discs of cartilage. All bones give attachment to muscles, which are responsible for 50% of our body weight and also permit movement. Bones are moved at joints by contraction and relaxation of the muscles attached to them.
