Patient: Date of Accident: Martin Moriera has recently had surgery on (body part) and is currently not working. The regimen of physical therapy prescribed below will help him return to work faster by strengthing the affected area during repetitive actions to prevent injury and re-occurrences and a safer working environment. (If he is already working you can still add in prevention of re-occurrences) Healing time can be different for more complex injuries –see if there were any extenuating circumstances (multiple fractures, multiple herniations) Review surgeon comments to justify length of therapy time needed. Correlate with: History of accident: Find out the mechanism of injury. Did the car roll over or did it crash at a high rate of

I have already had arthroscopic knee surgery to trim away and remove some of the damage, but the doctors say there is nothing more they can do other than replace the knee. My knee causes me severe pain and limits my physical abilities tremendously. I have seen three doctors, who are all experts, for consultations and opinions and they have all recommended knee replacement surgery; however, I can’t help rolling the following comment over and over in my head, “Knee replacement is not a quick fix, and is not without risks.” (Johns Hopkins) In order to provide a little medical background, the definition of osteoarthritis is the “Degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, most common from middle age onward.” (Memidex Dictionary) It is sometimes referred to as “wear and tear” arthritis. The knee is one of the largest, most complex joints of the body and also one of the most used. The knee is used to stand, sit, walk and run just to name a few.

This sort of fracture is sometimes referred to greenstick fracture. 1.2/1.3 Describe how to manage a fracture/dislocation. When managing a fracture or dislocation, you have to recognise that the child has an injury and call for an ambulance or get the child to hospital. First aid does not involve treating the injury.
Race is also a risk factor. Type 1 diabetes is more average in Whites than in other races.

As they treat all bone and muscle conditions it is just not arthritis that they treat, they treat a number of diseases and conditions including: cerebral Palsy, dislocations, osteoporosis and spine disorders.

Once the surgeon has discussed procedures with the patient the surgery can take place. Some of the surgeries that can be performed are: removing the diseases or damaged joint, returning a joint to its right place, making 2 joints one by fusing
People who carry most of their weight around the waist (apple shaped) have a greater risk of heart disease and diabetes than do people with big hips and thighs (Intellihealth, 2009). Unfortunately, people tend to get BMI mixed with body fat percentages. While both are a great way to test for obesity, BMI can a little misleading. A body fat test is done using a skin caliper.

Obesity can also cause diabetes, heart disease, joint problems, respiratory problems, cancer, metabolic syndrome, and psychosocial effects. Many Americans are aware that obesity is bad for you, but most don’t realize how bad it really is.

(2001). Smoking, obesity and lack of exercise, and stress are just a few of these factors. In addition to smoking, obesity can also contribute to degenerative heart disease. Excess weight increases the strain on the heart and increases the risk of developing coronary artery disease even if no other risk factors are present. Obesity increases blood pressure and blood cholesterol and can also lead to diabetes.
