Figure skaters are at increased risk to ankle injuries‚ particularly injuries to the peroneal tendon. This is mainly due to the increase in boot stiffness since the elimination of figures and shift of training focus to freestyle‚ mainly‚ jumping. Today‚ boots must be stiffer than ever to accommodate impact from more triple and quadruple jumps (Porter et al. 2007). This in turn causes ankles to become weaker and injury rates to increase‚ especially due to poor training habits. According to estimations

lab tested two materials mild steel and cast iron. The data from each test was used to determine valuable material properties such as ultimate tensile strength‚ modulus of elasticity‚ and yield strength. Other calculated properties included true fracture strength‚ percent reduction of area‚ and percent elongation. These material properties were used to define the material as brittle or ductile. INTRODUCTION: Mechanical testing plays an important role in evaluating fundamental properties of

Available therapeutic options range from debridement to total hip arthroplasty.The technique may also be used in the treatment of some fractures of the femoral head and acetabulum and for complex revision hiparthroplasty.[1] • Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) FAI is now widely recognized as a major cause of pain and early osteoarthritis of the hip in young adults [21].

the common types of fractures There are two types of fracture called open and closed. A closed fracture is where the skin is unbroken‚ but the internal damage to surrounding tissue can be seen as swelling. An open fracture has a wound. The bone may or may not be protruding. There is also internal damage to surrounding tissue. 1.2 Describe how to manage a fracture. A casualty with a fracture needs to keep still and not move the injured part. The treatment for a closed fracture is to reduce the risk

the most common injury sustained is to the ankle. Ankle sprains occur with some frequency‚ either as a result of the player landing in a position where the foot is not stable‚ causing the ankle to roll outward on impact‚ or where the player lands upon another player’s foot‚ which also creates an uneven surface and causes the foot and the ankle to roll outward. It is a rare competitive basketball player who has not sustained a number of at least minor ankle sprains in their career. Many players‚ especially

good and common example of a soft tissue injury would be pulling or tearing your hamstring. The hamstring is located at the bag of your leg and runs from the back of your knee to just below the gluteus Maximus. This injury will occur when the muscle is overstretched and is common in most sports but especially football and sprinting due to the amount of work your legs go through. Soft tissue includes tendons‚ ligaments‚ fascia‚ skin‚ fibrous tissues‚ fat‚ and synovial membranes‚ which are connective
