A sprain is an injury that involves the tearing or stretching of a ligament or a joint capsule. Sprains happen when a joint is forced past its regular range of motion. I believe Jill sprained her ankle because there was severe ankle pain, swelling, bruising and Jill could not walk after the second incident. A strain is an injury that involves the tearing or stretching of a muscle and or tendon structure. An acute strain of the muscle or tendon structure happens at the connection where the muscle is becoming a tendon.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve is squeezed as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel at the wrist (The Arthritis Society). Due to the lack of room in the carpal tunnel, any swelling around the wrist will cause compression upon the median nerve (BUPA), and result in some of the symptoms listed below. The repetition of a certain task, which involves heavy use of the wrist or hand, such as typing and playing video games (Altawell), can instigate the compression of the median nerve. What are the Symptoms? Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be observed in the hand and/or fingers.
When female athletes jump, the ACL takes a great amount of stress, causing an increase in the amounts of ACL tears. Another reason a female athlete may tear her ACL lies within the anatomy differences in men and women. A researcher for The Morning Call, Monica Deeb, states that “women have a narrower femoral notch -- the space at the bottom of the femur where the ACL runs. Because of the tight fit, many researchers believe the ACL is ‘sheared’ by the femur when too much stress is put on it” (Deeb C06). All in all, the femoral notch, being smaller in women than in men, is an explanation to the greater amount of ACL tears.
Samantha Pothier Lateral Ankle Sprains An inversion ankle sprain is when the ankle is turned inwards and there is an injury to a ligament either tearing or stretching. Inversion Ankle sprains are the most common and usually happen when the ankle is forced into plantar flexion and also forced inward. An ankle sprain can be just a stretch of the muscle or tendon, and it also can partially or completely tear. (2. Ferrel) There are different degrees of ankle sprains.
CLOSED REDUCTION AND PERCUTANEOUS SCREW FIXATION OF TALAR NECK FRACTURE – A CASE REPORT Student Name: Bong Chin Pei Matric No: MGI140016 Posting: Trauma INTRODUCTION: Fracture talar neck is rather rare, it usually due to high-energy trauma and account for 1% of all fractures. Urgent reduction and fixation is mandatory due to it tenuous blood supply which often disrupted by fracture displacement. These fractures are usually associated with life threatening injuries and concomitant skeletal fractures, soft tissues often compromised. The associated injuries may result in conventional open reduction and internal fixation impossible to be done in urgent basis and increasing the risk of AVN and non-union. Percutaneous fracture reduction and fixation can overcome this problem, and decrease complications associated with conventional open reduction and internal fixation (1).
* myoclonus The sudden, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles. * myofascial release A specialized soft-tissue manipulation technique used to ease the pain of conditions such as fibromyalgia syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, movement restrictions, temporomandibular joint disorders, and carpal tunnel syndrome. * myolysis The degeneration of muscle tissue. * myoparesis Weakness or slight muscular paralysis. * myorrhaphy Surgical suturing of a muscle.
In this kind of stenosis the most important part or component is the flavum ligament. This ligament can become very thickened and cause the stenosis and its symptoms. There are more symptoms when you have spinal stenosis in the neck rather than when you have spinal stenosis in the lumbar region. Symptoms for spinal stenosis often worsen over time until treatment. Some of the symptoms in the neck include the following: Numbness , weakness, or tingling in the legs, feet, arms, and/or hands.
Running head: FIBROMYLGIA Gail A. Strong Fibromyalgia COUN 7361 Medical Aspects of Disability Professor Chyrle Cantrell May 4, 2011 Abstract Fibromyalgia is one of the most common chronic pain conditions. The disorder affects an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. and an estimated 3-6% of the world population. While men and children are affected by fibromyalgia, it is most prevalent in women. It can occur independently or can be associated with another disease, such as systemic lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
This pain is more intense during the menstrual period of a woman and may lead to excessive bleeding. The pain is because the endometrial cells that are also breaking up and bleeding from an area that is not supposed to. The pain is the same as a menstrual cramp pain, only that it can touch on the rectum and the lower back. Most women have also reported gnawing pain in the feet that disables them making them sick throughout the period of the menstrual period, and even shortly afterward. The pain is so intense, such that patients have reported that it is like someone is pulling out their insides.
People who work most of their time tend to feel irritable, anxious and some even have such serious mental health problems as attempted suicide. In some cases overwork can lead to relationship and marriage breakdown, loss of friendship, poor relationships with children. But why do we put ourselves through it? A large share of the blame falls on employers who foster (способствуют) a long-hours work culture and overload their staff. But there is an answer - employers should adopt more flexible working arrangements.'
