says, osteoarthritis is the “normal wear and tear” of joints in the body. As an athlete it is terrifying to learn about the inevitable deterioration of my body. As often as I wear running shoes, I believe it would be beneficial to create a running shoe that could potentially decrease joint deterioration even at the slightest. The first shoes that came to mind when reading this article were Sketchers “Shape-Ups”. The idea of Sketchers “Shape-Ups” was interesting and innovative. A strength…

The stronger the muscles, the more force the body is capable of producing. However, the force of the muscle group or groups must be applied in the same direction and in proper sequence to realize the greatest force." (p. 237) Tom Chapman from jumpshotbiomechanics.blogspot.com explains that this leads to an important biomechanical principal, which is the summation of forces. In order to impart the most power on the basketball the shooter must use a summation of forces starting from their legs and…

Aaron had limitations in ROM of UE due to protraction and elevation of the shoulders. He arms stay in a flexed position in sitting, however in supine he has a strong extensor synergy. Aaron’s tone is asymmetrical in that his right side is more affected then his left. There was no observed voluntary movement of his UE. Strength was not tested due to tone. The LE was not tested for tone, strength or ROM due to subluxation of his hips at this time, however LE tone was observed as high extensor…

When he lifts his leg forward, it would not be as high as when he was at 24 years old. The heel strike would still be visible, but only slightly and there would be a noticeable dragging of the feet. His arms would still move in opposition to the leg, but it would just be a little and subtle movement. He might also look down quite a bit in order to gain balance and for safety reasons, such as to avoid tripping or falling. The regression of the movement observed would be due to old age and the…

Semimembranosus Tendinitis With Rehab Tendinitis is a condition in which tendons become irritated or swollen. Tendons are bands of tissue that attach muscles to bones and help with joint movements. The semimembranosus tendon attaches one of the muscles on the back of the thigh (hamstring muscles) to the hip bone and the shin bone (tibia). This tendon helps in straightening the hip and bending the knee. Semimembranosus tendinitis often causes pain on the back inner side of the knee. CAUSES…

Being a biarticular muscle group it may be stretched to extremes. When hamstring tears occur during kicking, either slow or fast movement, it involves concurrent hip flexion and knee extension. At deceleration, these muscles will contract, while being promptly lengthened. Therefore, they are performing eccentric contractions (Garrett et al, 1990.). It is well established that repeated eccentric contractions have the potential to damage muscle fibres (Armstrong et al,…

lower back or leg pain. For proper body mechanics you must have the “load” close to your body, trunk in an upright position, and use the muscles in the leg instead of the back (Early, 2013 pg 191).Proper body mechanics for the activity of tug of war, would be to stand in a staggered squat position, with one foot out while the other is lined up with the hip. Secondly, your trunk should be upright, even while pulling on the rope the trunk should remain in an upright position. Use your leg muscles…

when you kick so that no power is lost. Your knee joint, consisting of the tibia and femur, extends as your thigh muscles contract and your hip, which is made up of your femur and ilium, swings forward in a movement called hip flexion. Muscles of the Lower Leg: The primary muscles in your lower leg used in kicking a football are on opposite sides of your tibia, or shin bone. Your gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, collectively called your calf, contract to…

The hamstring consists of a group of three muscles; the Biceps Femoris, the Semitendinosus, and the Semimembranosus all of which run along the back of the leg just above the knee. These muscles are vital to the proper function of the knee and leg and can affect a person's ability to walk, run, kick, and perform other physical activities at full strength. One of the most important jobs of the hamstring is knee flexion, but the hamstring also helps the upper body distribute its weight evenly over…
