faster in the BPTB graft (1). The issue with BPTB grafts are the complications. The BPTB graft has an increased incidence of patellar fractures‚ anterior knee pain‚ patellar tendon rupture‚ patellar tendonitis‚ weakened quadriceps-leading to significant loss of knee extension and osteoarthritis compared to the HS graft (5 and 4). Anterior knee pain can be especially problematic and occurs with up to an incidence of 55% of those that receive a BTPB graft

joint that I will look at is the hinge joint. The hinge joint can be found in the knee and elbow. Hinge joint can only perform two types of movement – flexion and extension. When analysing a jump shot we need to get into a set position where our elbow and knees are flexed it is a hinge joint that allows us to do this. When we shoot we go from flexion into an extended position. Again‚ it is the hinge joint in the knee and elbows that allows us to do this movement Synovial joint 2 A ball and socket

For example in my movement‚ the baseball pitch‚ in the wind up stage of the pitch‚ the forces acting upon the body is causing hip and knee flexion which results in the knee and hip coming into contact with the chest. Whereas the physiological principles is working out what causes the forces to occur and happen.
