Essays on Fascia

Movement Assessment is an exercise that aims to assess dynamic flexibility, the structural alignment of the whole body and bilateral standing stance neuromuscular control. To squat properly one requires having the best possible knees, ankles and hips mobility. It is in knowing compensation that we can determine the underactive and overactive muscles. Form this interventions can then be determined. In case of probable overactive muscles the possible interventions include static stretching, self-myofascial release and neuromuscular stretching all of which are flexibility exercises. The muscles involved in performing squats include quadriceps, gluteus maximus, adductor magnus, soleus, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, erector spinae, ...

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Plantar fasciitis refers to the pain in the plantar surface of the heel. It leads to intense pain and soreness of the sole of the foot. The pain sometimes extends to the medial arch. The severity of the pain may affect the quality of life (QoL) of the patient up to a great extent (Landorf, 2015). It is one of the commonest chronic processes of degeneration occurring in the medial plantar fascia (Thompson, Saini, Reb & Daniel, 2014).Almost 10% of the total population of the world is suffering from Plantar Fasciitis (Melvin et al., 2015). One out of every ...

Soft tissue injuries of the handCarpal tunnel Syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an arm disorder that causes tingling, numbness and other indications. Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with a pinched nerve in the wrist. Factors that can contribute to the carpal tunnel syndrome are; patterns of hand use, anatomy of one's wrist or certain health risk factors. Bound by tendons and bones, carpal tunnel is a thin pathway that is situated on the palm flank of the wrist. That passageway protects the main nerve from the hand and tendons that bend the limbs. The compression of the nerve is what produces ...

HLTAP501A/B/C Analyze Health Information HLTCOM510B Provide Services to Clients with Chronic Disease or Conditions PATHOLOGY ASSIGNMENT –ASTHMA– Abstract Asthma is a chronic problem that influences lung function. Clinically asthma is identified by the variation in expiratory airflow and abnormal respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, chest congestion, cough, and shortness of breath. The aetiology of asthma is linked to a mixture of genetic and environmental factors, though; heredity or atopy also plays a role in asthma. Asthma is categorized into two types: extrinsic (allergic) and intrinsic (nonallergic). Allergic asthma is an outcome of the reaction of an antibody ...

- Question: Identify the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg The leg is divided into three compartments by tough fasciae to hold the muscles and proper functioning of these muscles during their contraction. These compartments also contain nerves and vessels.The three main compartments are anterior (extensor), lateral (fibular) and posterior (flexor). The anterior compartment (Extensor compartment) contains muscles which are used for extension (dorsiflexion) of the foot as these muscles have origin in the leg and are inserted in the bones of foot crossing the ankle joint anteriorly. “When acting from below they pull the body ...

One of the most common sports-related knee injuries is medial collateral ligament (MCL), which occurs in almost every contact sport, such as football, hockey, wrestling, and martial arts. Those more at risk are intercollegiate male athletes, who can experience mild MCL sprain that could keep them away from exercising sports for an average of three weeks (DeBerardino, 2014). However, the severity of the injury has a broad spectrum, it is impossible to determine the incidence of MCL injuries, especially since minor MCL injuries are never evaluated by a physician.

Anatomy of the Injury (structures involved)

One of the most commonly injured knee-joint ligamentous structures is the medial ...

Discussion and Comparison of Laparoscopic and Open Surgical Inguinal Hernia Repair in Adults.

Abstract There is an ever increasing number of hernia repair surgeries required likely due to decreasing levels of physical activity amongst young adults and concurrent muscle wastage in the abdomen. Time off from work, staffing issues at hospitals, and cost of hospital bed space are some of the issues associated with the high cost of open surgical methods. Wound infection, decreased mobility, and recurrence of the hernia are problems associated with all surgeries. The last thirty years has seen the advent of laparoscopy and minimally invasive techniques of surgical repair. These methods offer the promises of decreased surgical ...

A condition affecting the system of veins in legs with venous hypertension resulting in different pathologies that involve swelling, ulcerations, pain, skin changes, and edema is called chronic venous insufficiency (Eberhardt and Raffetto, 2005). It is necessary to understand normal venous function and anatomy to analyze the venous insufficiencies pathology. The peripheral venous system serves as a conduit returns blood into the heart and as a reservoir where blood is stored. Appropriate operation of the peripheral venous system is dependent on a series of muscle pumps and valves (Eberhardt and Raffetto, 2005). Blood entering the venous system of lower extremities has ...

1. Identify the primary abductors of the hip (three muscles). a) Gluteus Medius b) Gluteus Minimus c) Tensor Fascia Latae 2. What function do the hamstrings have in common with the gluteus maximus? Both the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings muscles play the extension role. The hamstrings, which are situated at the rear of the thigh, play the role of hip extension and hyper-extension as well as knee flexion. This helps in transferring the power between knee joints and the hips. In addition, it helps in the forward propulsion. Just like the hamstrings, Gluteus maximus play a ...

Signs and symbols have always affected the human behaviour that the study of these elements has become an important part of various fields such as communication, arts, advertising and marketing. The everyday life is governed by codes and symbols but majority of us do not realize the impact they have in our lives. Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols, especially as elements of communicative behavior (Streeter, 2005). Various industry professionals use Semiotics to affect human behaviour, in particular, the way in which people make decisions. A good example is the marketing and advertising industry. Different signs and ...
