Lourdes Injury Case Study

When she was sent for an X-ray it showed that she had some swelling, but not a fracture. Dr. Scott advised her to think about having reconstructive surgery, which she followed through with. Part

When she was nine she dislocated right shoulder from tubing. She flew over the top of the tube but her right handed stayed in the handle then pop her shoulder was dislocated.  At the age of ten she ran into the brick wall at school. She waited two days then went to the hospital to find out that it was fractured.  The next year she fractured her foot. She was playing soccer when someone kicked her foot. Her family thought it was just bruised so she played for another 3 ½ weeks. It was still hurting so she got an x-ray. It turns out that it was fractured. She was in an aircast for her 12th birthday. She has missed a lot of soccer from

Without a doubt a strain to the hamstring is an atrocious impairment to all athletes. Prevent an injury by always warming up and stretching. Stretch after your warmed up, it will increase flexibility. Unfortunately, not being fully stretched that night at dance practice, was what resulted my injury.

01/11/16 PT Evaluation Report documented that the patient is showing good progress towards goals, with a decrease in pain in the right lower leg, ankle and foot when ambulating. But the remaining impairments, including reduced strength, limited ROM and gait deviations cause poor ability to ambulate. Continue skilled PT is necessary in order to address the remaining deficits. Sort-term and long-term goals were discussed.

Steve is complaining of 8/10 pain on his left leg, it is clearly deformed, is a potential fracture or dislocation. This is not a life threatening injury but a major distracting injury.

The athletic trainer discovers whether there is an injury present in the hamstring is through special tests. One of the special tests is called the Weber-Barstow Maneuver Test. “First, the patient begins lying in supine position with his or her heels off the end of the table (Special Tests). “The examiner holds the feet of the patient and places the thumbs over the medial malleoli while providing slight traction to the legs” (Special Tests). “The examiner instructs the patient to flex both knees and hips to place the feet on the table aligned next to each other (line up the medial malleoli)” (Special Tests). “The examiner instructs the patient to bridge his or her hips upward and then

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Ruby Pearce follows up today for reevaluation of her left proximal humerus fracture sustained secondary to a fall on July 9, 2015. She was seen in the office on July 15, 2015 and a course of nonoperative treatment for proximal humerus fracture was begun. She was given a prescription for physical therapy and instructed on home exercise program including pendulum motions and wall walking. She has not attended physical therapy, but has been diligent with her home exercise program. Her pain is intermittent and sometimes sharp, but is easily controlled with medications. She states she has a 5-6/10 at times. She takes Tylenol to control these symptoms. She notes no neurovascular

With patellar dislocation, there are many ways for this injury to occur. One of the most common ways is through contact sports such as football, soccer and lacrosse where there is more of a higher risk to have a patellar injury (Dath, 2006, p. 6). In 2004, Dr. Fiftain recorded that the most prominent sports to manifest anterior knee pain are soccer players, weight lifters, runners, and shooters. From my experience, this pain arises from improper form, sharp movements to the left or right, and prolonged stress on the knee.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common sports injury occurs widely in the USA with the majority of suffered by healthy individuals with 70%of non contact period, during variety of movements such as jump landing, cutting and pivoting (9). Different risk factors should be considered for injury such as environmental, hormonal and biomechanical (8, 1). ACL injury prevalence is very high in soccer as well as other sports in females compared with males (15). Anterior shear force, valgus collapse, quadriceps to hamstring strength ratio (9, 11, 16, 6) are consider as other main risk factors in both genders. Co-contraction of the hamstring and quadriceps has been shown to provide dynamic stability to the frontal plane at the knee that protects maximum knee abduction loading (6). So, main focus of the study should be on muscular strength between agonist –antagonist muscle of lower limbs and recovery after injury. Female athletes gets injured almost 2-8 time higher than the male counterparts (22,6,1,3,9,10,12,15,16). Interesting point in comparing injuries in sports, dominancy of leg plays a role in ACL injury. In a non contact injury, females are more prone to get injured in their supporting leg whereas male soccer athletes tend to injure the ACL in their preferred kicking leg(22).Biomechanical point of view such as more extended hip-knee landing technique postures, knee pressure in different plane

All high school I have seen this injury happen to several athletes affecting their performance. Usually from what I have noticed this disability, although temporary, can ruin an athlete’s opportunity to continue in the sport thus making them lose several opportunities. The disability I am speaking of is an ACL tear. “A torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common knee injury, especially for athletes. Ligaments are long, rope-like bands that fasten bones together. The ACL’s role is that it helps give the knee its stability. This injury usually occurs through movements such as pivoting, stopping, or turning on a dime. People also can also receive this injury if they jump up and when they are on their way down their knee is locked instead of flexed. This puts pressure on the knee joint and causes the ACL to tear or break apart”(Jr. A.). ACL injuries are quite often in sports I was privileged to interview someone who has experienced it on a

This study evaluated 90 total ACL injuries from soccer players ranging from a mean age of 19.4 ± 2.3 years.1 The reported mean age at injury was 17.4 ± 1.9 years, with the highest injury rate at 18 years of age.1 Of the total 90 injuries, 48 were the dominant leg, 62 occurred on artificial turf, 57 occurred in players wearing round spikes, 41 occurred in defenders, 54 occurred during defense, 56 occurred during a game, and 55 were non-contact injuries.1 Furthermore, of the 55 non-contact injuries, 29 occurred during a cutting maneuver and 22 occurred during pressing.1 Assessing the results, it was discovered that non-contact injuries during pressing were significantly more common than contact injuries during pressing.1

Background: The patient was a 19-year old male collegiate wide receiver without any previous history of ankle or foot injuries. During an attempt to jump for a pass during a football game, the patient came down on his left foot while in dorsiflexion, landing at the midfoot line. He stated that he felt an immediate “pop” in the middle of his foot and felt as though his toes touched his lower leg. He showed immediate signs of edema, and point tenderness along the first and second cuneiforms. The patient was unable to bear weight and after initial evaluation was placed in a walking boot, ambulated with crutches with no weight bearing. Radiographs taken after the injury showed signs of a Lisfranc dislocation, which was confirmed by the team orthopedic surgeon.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Ruby Pearce follows up today to reevaluate her left proximal humerus fracture from a fall on July 9, 2015. She has been seen in followup on July 15, 2015 and August 5, 2015. She has been attending physical therapy, and has shown good progress and feels that she is doing well. She does continue to have some pain for which she takes pain medication, which is helpful. She notes no new injuries or limitations.

The ankle joint is the most commonly injured part of the lower leg. It happens from an unusual twisting action

There are twenty-three different sports injuries. the first one on the list would be an achilles tendon injury. The achilles is the biggest tendon in your body, it is very common for this tendon to get injured. The tendon gets injured in the following sports such as basketball, baseball, softball, football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, running, dancing, and gymnastics.
