The knee is made up of many ligaments and tendons and Four bones. The superior portion of the knee is the distal head of the femur. The patella sits on top of the joint where the inferior portion of the knee is the proximal head of the tibia and fibula just below. Tendons connect muscle to bone‚ where as ligaments connect bone to bone. The main ligaments in the bone are the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) which runs from the patella to the tibia‚ The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) which runs

The athlete is ready for the sub acute management “when there is minimal swelling and the patellar friction test can only reproduce a mild sensation.”1

The movements that occur during the lowering portion of the squat are hip flexion‚ anterior pelvic rotation‚ knee flexion‚ dorsiflexion and cervical extension. During the lifting phase‚ knee extension occurs‚ the ankles return to the neutral position as well as the cervical spine and hips; all the muscles acting as agonists during the lifting action‚ act as antagonists during the lowering action.

I believe that this was due to her trying to bend the knee just enough to allow the foot to clear the ground. I then started my evaluation beginning from the ankle ’s range of motion. Normal dorsiflexion should be around 20° while this patient showed only about 5°. The ankle joint (the subtalar joint) acts

Description: The femur bone is the largest bone in the human body. Connecting the knee to the thigh‚ this bone plays a vital part to support walking‚ running‚ bending‚ climbing stairs and other every day activities. The main bone connects the kneecap or patella and the knee to the hipbone. While the knee pulls and pushes while walking‚ the femur bone plays a vital role in supporting it and in making movements easy and flexible. The groove of the femur bone is called femoral groove.

Introduction/Lab Description This lab is meant as an introduction to properly instructing individual stretches. (40 points) Objectives 1. Identify the joint movements and muscles being stretched during a variety of stretches. 2. Describe and demonstrate proper technique (e.g. range of motion‚ body positioning‚) for a variety of generally safe and effective stretches to enhance flexibility. 3. Demonstrate the ability to teach common stretches using proper directions‚ cueing‚ and

Together the three joints allow optimum distance and proper stability for the jumper. The hip‚ which holds the femur and pelvis‚ allows the jumper to extend as his foot strikes the board. While keeping the knee in flexion‚ he pushes off into the cycling pattern. In the skip phase‚ the hip will remain in a flexed position as the trail leg goes into
