Regular ankle strengthening exercises are recommended to reduce the rick of getting an ankle sprain or reinjuring an ankle. Ligaments that are injured are the anterior talofibular ligament, which is the most common ligament to be injured, posterior talofibular ligament this ligament is rarely injured and also the calcaneofibular ligament. Most ankle sprains include the anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament. With any ankle sprain if there is any worry about dislocation or fracture the person should be immobilized and needs to be seen. When someone sprains an ankle there will be swelling, bruising and tenderness and the pain will be at the lateral part of the ankle and sometimes at the medial part.
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.
Myositis ossificans means that bone forms within muscle due to a blunt injury that causes deep tissue bleeding in an athlete. For instance, a soccer player that is repeatedly kicked hard in his mid-thigh would develop pain and bruising as a result of the soft tissue being injured. A hematoma would form and ultimately develop into this abnormal bone. Treatment consists of rest, immobilization and anti-inflammatory medication. X-rays can determine whether this has turned into a tumor within the soft tissues.
However, X-Rays are largely used to examine broken bones. Jason is given an MRI scan rather than an X ray because a muscular disorder is suspected. 2. Why do Jason’s symptoms develop during the season and not during training? Answer: Excessive use of shoulder leads to inflammation and pain in the rotator cuff, the collection of muscles, tendons, and cartilage that stabilize the shoulder joint.
Older children tend to injure themselves while playing sports, riding bicycles, and in motor vehicle accidents. Also, because a child’s ligaments are stronger than those of an adult, forces which would tend to cause a sprain in an older individual will be transmitted to the bone and cause a fracture in a child. Caution should therefore be exercised when assessing a young child diagnosed with a sprain. 1. Plastic Deformation - A force produces microscopic failure on the tensile/convex side of bone which does not propagate to the concave side.
Fractures can also happen if there is an accident with for example equipment like a hoist and this falls onto the individual when moving/positioning them or using the wrong sling size and the individual falls out. 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual When I am working with individuals with different conditions this affects how we support them to move and change positions. An individual with dementia who is confused might not understand what we are saying and when we are supporting her/him to move so we have to show the individual by our actions and take time to do this. Individuals with arthritis have to be
Disease Pathology Week 9 Assignment 1. Compound fracture is an injure where the broken bone pierces the skin, which causes infection. 2. The femur should be immobilized before transport because JR has a c compound fracture of the femur. Moving the femur during transportation may cause more pain and serious problems can occur.
Impacted fracture is where your bone goes into another when it breaks. 1.2 Describe how to manage a fracture If you think a child has a fracture you should take them to the hospital as soon as possible but it is important to immobilize the fracture by elevating it a little you can do this by putting pillows in between, bandages, clothing. You should not try to straighten the bones because this could make the injury worse. If the arm is fractured you should make sure the arm is kept close to the body or putting a sling on it. If the fracture is an open one you should sterilise it to help stop infection and you should cover it with a soft padded dressing but do not press on the bone, if you feel you cannot do this you should call an ambulance immediately.
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.
Even when an athlete returns from an injury they can still be affected by it and play more tentatively on the field or court because of fear of re-injury (Brehm, 2008). The psychological effects of sports injuries all depend on how the athlete copes with the injury. Epidemiological reports of sports injury confirm a high incidence of injuries occurring at all levels of sport participation, ranging in severity from cuts and bruises to spinal cord injury. The psychosocial dynamics accompanying sport injury should be known to ensure psychological recovery, an important aspect in rehabilitating the injured athlete. Earlier studies demonstrating psychological differences between athletes and non-athletes indicated the need for actual research on the athlete's post injury response in lieu of accepting the hypothesis that the emotional responses of athletes to injury parallels
