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. The ankle is a hinge joint and articulates from three bones, which are the talus, tibia, and fibula. (1. Heck) The ligaments support the ankles stability and when someone has recurrent ankle sprains it is likely that they could lose their normal kinematics. (6 Maughan) Muscles that cause
The three types of soft tissue injuries include, sprain, strain and contusion. A partial or complete tear of a ligament is called a sprain. This is caused by a twisting or other force that moves the joint beyond its normal range of motion. A strain is a torn or pulled muscle and is usually caused by the muscle suddenly contracting or being over-stretched. Contusions are another name for a bruise and a discoloration and tenderness of the skin, caused by bleeding in a muscle.
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.
Although many injuries occur at a bend in the track, landing from a jump carries a big risk of injury. Wearing safety gear such as goggles, elbow and knee guards, neck braces help to reduce the seriousness of the inury. What is a Broken Collar Bone? The collarbone (clavicle) is one of two long, slender bones found on either side of the chest. Each clavicle is attached to the breastbone (sternum) at one end and to the shoulder blade (scapula) at the other end.
Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis is a crippling condition that often prevents people from working within five to ten years of diagnosis. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is characterized by a gradual loss of cartilage in the joints. Cartilage is tough tissue that provides cushioning between the bones that make up the joints. Loss of this protective cushion often results in bone spurs and cysts and allows bones to rub on each other, which is extremely painful. The affected joints are usually “load-bearing” joints located in the knees, hands, hips, feet, and spine, although the condition often starts in a single joint.
There are many things could lead to golf injuries. Using incorrect poses, using poor swing mechanics, or over-exercising golf are some of the causes of golf injuries. The parts of a body that may get golf injuries are neck, back, waist, elbows, hands, wrists, fingers, hips, knees andankles. The main symptoms of golf injuries are pain in muscle, joint, soft tissues. The most common golf injuries that can happen to golf players are hand and finger injury, wrist injury, and tendonitis in the elbows.
Introduction When an athlete sustains an injury while playing the sport that they love, it can have a debilitating effect. Depending on the injury, not only can they be forced to miss a significant amount of playing time (which can affect their livelihood) while they go through rehab, they also lose a huge piece of themselves. The physical part of an injury is only half the battle athletes have to face. Thoughts, feelings and spirit all contribute to sport performance, and are important parts of every athlete (Brehm, 2008). Injuries cause extreme pain, limit movements and depending on the severity, can require a large amount of time for rehab.
Rest is best for relieving stress to the tibia. This means no weight bearing exercising that could injure the legs any further. Ice is used for relieving the pain. Ice massages are recommended to cool the tibia, and to smooth the area of scar tissue created by shin splints. Compression is also be used for helping with severe cases of shin splints, ensuring that it does not get worse.
If both passive and active movements are done with no pain, try the next level which consists of trying a resistance movement to see if any pain occurs. The next protocol to be used is RICE. This involves resting, icing, compressing, and elevating. The injured ankle should be rested immediately; this will stop the injury to be further aggravated which would cause more pain. Resting should be done until the ankle feels better.
Stage 3 - The sore worsens and extends beneath the skin surface, forming a small crater. There maybe no pain at this stage due to nerve damage. The risk of tissue death and infection are high. Stage 4 - pressure sores progress with extensive damage to deeper tissues (muscles, tendons and bones) serious complications such as osteomyeltis (infection of the bone) or sepis (infection carried through the blood can occur) 2) Identify pressure sites of the body. Common places where pressure sores are likely too develop are, back of head and ears, elbows, lower back and sacrum area, shoulders, hips, heels and inner knees.. 3) Identify factors which might put on individual at risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores.
