areolar connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber. Perimysium is a thicker sheet of connective tissue that surrounds a bundle of muscle fibers called fascicle. Epimysium is collagenous‚ dense connective tissue that surrounds an entire muscle. A tendon is a dense regular connective tissue‚ it may connect to a bone that’s moveable for the origin and to an immoveable bone to establish insertion we call a muscle that is very wide aponeurosis. There are different patterns of arrangement for fascicles

Body awareness is a key aspect in gymnastics training. Body awareness in turn‚ can be helpful for postural control in young kids. Young gymnasts were found to have better control when asked to stay upright on a force platform for thirty seconds with eyes either opened or closed versus non-gymnasts. “These results suggest that gymnastics training promotes improvements in postural control of younger children only‚ which results from their use of visual information when available” (Garcia‚ 2011). Postural

ultrasound‚ during dynamic movement‚ snapping of tendons or bands can be viewed for external or internal Snapping Hip Syndrome. For external ultrasound can be used to localize a diagnostic challenge injection into the trochanteric bursa‚ while for internal the iliopsoas sheath‚ and the intra-articular space. MRI’s can be used to rule out intra-articular pathology and can show inflamed bursas. Lastly‚ the use of iliopsoas bursography are to view the iliopsoas tendon under fluoroscopy after the bursa was injected

CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

Clubfoot Definition: A clubfoot is a congenital deformity involving one foot or both. The affected foot looks like it has been rotated internally at the ankle. Without treatment‚ people with club feet often appear to walk on their ankles or on the sides of their feet. It is a relatively common birth defect‚ occurring in about one in every 1‚000 live births. Approximately half of people with clubfoot have it affect both feet‚ which are called bilateral club foot. In most cases it is an isolated

tendinitis is overuse. There are many different tendons in the hip region. The tendons in the front of the hip‚ if affected‚ will cause pain in the groin. This is particularly evident when a patient climbs stairs or gets up from the chair. Tendinitis on the outside of the hip will cause pain with stair climbing. Also‚ the patient may experience discomfort at night if they try to lie on the affected hip. Tendinitis involving the hamstring tendons in the hip may cause pain in the buttocks with walking

gives stability to the outer knee. o Patellar ligament- attaches to the kneecap to the tibia. Tendons- There are two main tendons of the knee and they help stabilise the knee- The quadriceps tendon connects the quadriceps muscles of the thigh to the kneecap and provides the power for straightening the knee. It also helps hold the patella in the patellofemoral groove in the femur. The patellar tendon connects the kneecap to the tibia. Cartilages- o Medial meniscus- made of fibrous‚ crescent shaped

common shoulder problem for which professional help is sought out for is shoulder impingement (Haig 1996). Shoulder impingement is primarily an overuse injury that involves a mechanical compression of the supraspinatus tendon‚ subacromial bursa‚ and the long head of the biceps tendon‚ all of which are located under the coracoacromial arch (Prentice 2001). Impingement has been described as a continuum during which repetitive compression eventually leads to irritation and inflammation that progresses
