Stiffness

On October 17th, during the game against the Cavaliers, the Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward suffered a gruesome left ankle injury that ended his season. Five minutes into his debut with the Celtics, Hayward dislocated his left ankle and fractured his left tibia after he collided with LeBron James. As Hayward came back to the floor, he twisted his leg right underneath him, and shocked the players and the audience as his left foot was disturbingly pointing outward. The next day, on October 18th

Eigenvalues can be used to calculate resonance factors, which are important when constructing infrastructure, such as bridges and skyscrapers. If a wind or some force consistently hits the bridge or building at the precise resonance factor, then the distance the structure sways can increase significantly when considering the summation of all of the forces, leading to the structures demise. An example of this would be the Tacoma Bridge in 1940 when the engineers failed to account for resonance and

Could Arthritis Be the Cause of Your Toe Pain? 8 symptoms that could mean you have arthritis in your toes. Arthritis typically attacks joints in the knees, hips and hands, but it can occur in any part of the body that has joints, including your toes. There are several different types of arthritis that can cause pain in the toes, from cartilage degeneration to tissue inflammation, but whatever the cause, symptoms can be difficult to determine at first. If you suffer from toe pain, here are a few

The stiffness is high due to the carbon fibre reinforment. But it is fairly light, and fit for someone like me. As it is for advanced player with a large swing it needs to be pretty aerodynamic. The tension can go up to 62 lb which definitely gives it more control

Joint pain and other musculoskeletal conditions are the most prevalent causes of chronic pain worldwide, affecting over 50 million people in the USA alone. The most common form of joint pain is Arthritis – which is a disease that causes pain, swelling and restricted movement in joints. There are various types of arthritis such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis and Gout. Arthritis (along with other rheumatic conditions) has been the leading cause of disability among US adults for the past 15

Unlike many other orthopedic injuries, Achilles tendon injuries are not fully understood, which results in heavily deliberated treatment procedures. Patients often have an unpredictable outcome with respect to return to function. Over the previous fifty years, the evolution of repair surgery for the Achilles tendon has been slow and minimal; furthermore, surgical repair is unpredictable and surrounded by complications5. Regarding surgical versus non-surgical procedures, there are existing studies

Many patients with OA opt complementary treatments (e.g., massage, relaxation techniques) in an effort to manage OA- related symptoms. This could be because of limited symptom relief from conventional therapies, as well as a belief that complementary treatments are free from adverse effects. However, the efficacy and safety of these interventions are not defined well. (Shengelia, Parker, Ballin, & Reid, 2014). Use of CAM modalities for chronic musculoskeletal disorders, such as OA, is primarily to

vomiting. It is important to identify any potential source of infection. Localizing signs and symptoms referable to organ systems may provide useful clues to the etiology of sepsis and are as follows: Head and neck infections: Severe headache, neck stiffness, altered mental

discussed below If the flexural rigidity of the tension cover is very low, the box can buckle as a whole. If the tension cove is flexural very stiff and the ribs are very weak then the buckling pattern will be as shown here As the deflection stiffness of the ribs increase the buckling pattern changes forming more than one half sine waves over the length of the box as shown in the next figure Here the ribs are represented as deflectional springs and the buckled wave form is very much exaggerated

DOI: 06/16/2014. Patient is a 40-year-old male welder who sustained injuries to left shoulder, cervical spine, and lumbar spine as a result of over exertion on using a grinder on large piece of metal. Patient is diagnosed with cervical spine sprain, lumbar radiculopathy, right shoulder bursitis, left shoulder bursitis, and left wrist sprain. Based on the progress report dated 06/30/16, the patient complains of low back pain, described as dull and aching and stabbing on the left side of the back
