Muscles that Move the Leg01:23

Muscles that Move the Leg

6.5K
The movement of the legs is facilitated by numerous muscles located within the anterior, medial, and posterior compartments of the thigh.
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

466
Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Venous Thrombosis IV: Nursing Management

391
Nursing management begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's health history. Key factors include trauma to veins, peripherally inserted central catheters, varicose veins, recent pregnancy or childbirth, surgery, bacteremia, prolonged bed rest, atrial fibrillation, COPD, heart failure, cancer, coagulation disorders, myocardial infarction, spinal cord injury, stroke, prolonged travel, recent bone fractures, and dehydration.

Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

6.7K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

9.3K
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the...

Hamstring injuries: prevention and treatment-an update.

    Summary

    Hamstring injuries remain common, with specific types like slow-stretch or central tendon injuries needing longer recovery. Strengthening exercises in a lengthened position and Nordic hamstring exercises show promise for prevention and rehabilitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Musculoskeletal Injuries
    • Rehabilitation Science

    Background:

    • Hamstring muscle injuries continue to occur frequently despite advances in understanding.
    • Not all hamstring injuries are identical, with certain types necessitating extended rehabilitation and return-to-play timelines.
    • Injuries involving the central tendon or of the slow-stretch variety are associated with prolonged recovery periods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current knowledge on hamstring injuries, focusing on factors influencing return to play.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of various proposed indicators and treatments for hamstring injuries.
    • To highlight the importance of prevention strategies, particularly eccentric strengthening and Nordic hamstring exercises.

    Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on hamstring injuries, rehabilitation, and prevention.
  • Analysis of proposed prognostic factors and treatment modalities, including platelet-rich plasma and specific testing.
  • Examination of evidence for the efficacy of different strengthening and exercise protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • Conflicting evidence exists for many proposed indicators of return-to-play time.
    • Strength deficits are increasingly recognized as a significant factor in injury recurrence.
    • Nordic hamstring exercises demonstrate growing evidence of effectiveness in reducing injury incidence.

    Conclusions:

    • Hamstring injury management requires differentiating injury types for appropriate rehabilitation.
    • Eccentric strengthening in a lengthened position and Nordic hamstring exercises are key for prevention and recovery.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the role of certain interventions like platelet-rich plasma injections.
