What You Need to Know About Sports Injuries and Rehabilitation
If you’re an athlete, then injuries would be pretty common to you. Well, it’s obvious because sports injuries can happen anywhere in the body, and they don’t necessarily have to be related to bruises or swellings. Injury can be related to twisting of joints or any stiff blow to the muscles. Types of injuries are usually proportional to the type of sports activity an individual performs. Let’s take a look at the different regions of body which are most commonly affected during any sports activity: Wrists: The most common place for sprain of the ligaments, strains of the muscle, or fractures of the
Influence of Kinesiotherapy on Joint Motion
Even though there have been many recent advances in treating joint motion disabilities, few studies have evaluated longitudinal effect of therapeutic modalities on the functional exercise capacity of patients with joint motion disabilities. Aim: The purpose here is to investigate the effects of kinesiotherapy and electrotherapy on functional exercise capacity. ​ Kinesiotherapy for Coxarthrosis: Patients suffering from primary coxarthrosis result from an imbalance between stress mechanisms exerted on the hip and the exercise resistance capacity of cartilage and bone tissue. Kinesiotherapy administered to patients contributed to the increase of the joint angle values at the level of the coxofemoral joint and muscle strength. There are
Physical Therapy for Slipped Disc in the Neck
The spinal column is made up of 26 bones (vertebrae), which are cushioned by disks. The disk protects the bones by absorbing the shocks from daily activities like walking, lifting and twisting. Each disk consists of two parts - a soft, gelatinous inner portion and a tough outer ring. Weakness or injury can cause the inner portion of the disk to protrude through the outer ring. This is known as a slipped disk or herniated disk. ​ In herniated disk, a crack occurs in the outer layer of the disk, called the annulus. The crack usually affects a small part of the
Physical Therapy for Elbow Dislocation
A condition characterized by damage and tearing of the connective tissue surrounding the elbow joint with subsequent displacement of the bones forming the joint, so they are no longer situated next to each other, is termed as an elbow dislocation. In other words, an elbow dislocation occurs when the bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna) move out of place compared with the bone of the arm. The elbow joint formed, where these three bones meet, becomes dislocated or moves out of the joint. People who indulge into activities that require extensive physical work on a daily basis and use
Physiotherapy for Quadriceps Tendonitis
Overuse problems of the knee structures can lead to strain, irritation, and / or injury of the quadriceps muscle and tendon. This produces pain, weakness, and swelling of the knee joint. Quadriceps tendonitis is a condition characterized by tissue damage and inflammation of the quadriceps tendon. This generally occurs at the quadriceps’ attachment to the top of the kneecap causing pain in the front of the knee, just above the kneecap. Quadriceps muscle originates from the pelvis and thigh bone (femur) and inserts into the top of the kneecap (patella) which in turn attaches to the top of the tibia (shin
