The main mechanism of an ACL injury is that the loads applied to the ligament are greater than its ability to sustain the load. Increasing knee flexion has been found to reduce this load experienced by the ligament however, there is no single muscle crossing the knee that is capable of simultaneously supporting the knee from externally applied flexion, valgus, and internal rotation knee movements (Donnelly et al., 2012). These movements, which are the main movements that result in an injury to the ACL, can be seen during sidestepping and single leg landing with the knee near full extension. It is hypothesized that inappropriate postural adjustments are responsible for the increase in joint load when there is little time to prepare for the task (unanticipated) (Besier et al., 2001).…
Strength training is the first step from preventing an ACL tear from happening. Proper conditioning and stretching can help as well. Coaches who are very informed can benefit their team from becoming safer players on and off the field. Many speed and balance training programs find ways to reduce injury. Leg muscle strength, core training, and proper footwear with orthotics can suppress the amount of traction in athletic shoes. This helps to minimize friction to avoid injury yet enhances transitional friction to allow peak performance in activities such as cutting and stopping (Westin,…
I can remember when I did my undergrad internship at a rehabilitation center; the Physical Therapist explained to me that if a person has ruptured their Achilles tendon, calf raises were one the best exercises. This exercise was potentially one of the best due to it strengthening the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. He also explained that many runners should focus on strengthening exercises, simply because of the wear and tear running they are more susceptible to this type of injury.…

These two topics, foot binding and plastic surgery, are very similar and different in many different ways. First of all foot binding was only for ladies while plastic surgery is for anyone who makes the choice to get it done. Both of these processes are painful and while foot binding did not have advanced medicine back then, plastic surgery does and it can help ease the pain a little bit for the plastic surgery process. Although foot binding sounds terrible and plastic surgery does not sound so bad, when you get plastic surgery, you may be likely to have strokes, heart attacks, and it may cause brain damage and also death. We think that foot binding is painful when you get it done, but it is also very painful after it is done. It can cause…

While I was participating in the athletic training clinics, I had a very interesting, educative experience.

It was also enriching to be able to watch a patient improve over time through the various techniques used such as stretching, taping, and exercising. Further, I saw many different injuries that consisted of both the upper and lower extremities of the body.…
