Introduction Abnormal gait, more commonly known as a walking abnormality, happens whenever someone is unable to walk normally. An accident, underlying medical issues, or anomalies in the legs and feet could be reasons for this. Walking appears to be a straightforward action. However, the body’s multiple systems, such as strength, coordination, and sensation, work together…
Introduction Gait training is a physical therapy method that enhances walking patterns and mobility. It is frequently used to assist persons who are recovering from injuries or surgeries, or who have disorders that limit their ability to walk. Your physical therapist will design a series of exercises called gait training to improve your walking. Enhancing…
Introduction Recurrent shoulder dislocation is a disease that develops when the glenohumeral joint, or shoulder joint, dislocates frequently. Being one of the most moving joints in the human body, the shoulder is among the most susceptible to dislocation. Shoulder instability, also known as recurrent shoulder dislocations, is the state in which the dislocations become recurring….
Introduction Shoulder subluxation occurs when the lining of the shoulder joint (the capsule), ligaments, or labrum become strained, torn, or detached, causing the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head) to move entirely or partially out of its socket. Individuals with shoulder subluxation typically experience pain when their shoulder “gives way.”A physical examination together with…
Introduction Ankle dislocation occurs when the bones that form the ankle joint are forced out of their normal alignment, typically due to trauma or injury. It’s a serious condition that is mostly associated with ligament damage, fractures, and edema. Immediate medical attention is crucial to reduce the risk of complications like poor blood circulation, nerve damage,…
Introduction A knee dislocation is a rare but severe injury where the bones that form the knee joint—typically the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and sometimes the patella (kneecap)—are displaced from their normal alignment. This injury often results from high-impact trauma, such as car accidents or sports injuries, and can damage the surrounding ligaments, blood vessels,…
Introduction Hip dislocation occurs when the ball of the femur (thigh bone) is forced out of its socket in the pelvic bone, typically resulting from high-impact trauma like a car accident or severe fall. Most frequently, this injury happens in an automobile accident, high-impact fall, at work, or in sports, particularly when it also results…
Introduction A wrist dislocation is one type of ligament injury that can produce unbearable pain. It happens when one or more of the carpal’s small bones in the wrist move out of place from their usual position. Wrist dislocation can be incredibly painful and significantly disrupt your daily life. It happens when one or more…
Introduction Elbow dislocations are among the most prevalent kinds of dislocations. Common elbow injuries fit into one of two categories: simple or complex, depending on how much surrounding structure has been impaired. The most common causes are sports injuries and falls. Simple radiographs can be used to provide a diagnosis. CT scans can be used to…
Neurotmesis is a type of severe peripheral nerve injury that results from nerve transection. Neurotmesis involves cutting off the entire nerve, affecting the endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium. The myelin sheath, connective tissues, and axon are ruptured as a result of neurotmesis. When a peripheral nerve injury is severe enough to cause neurotmesis, the affected person as…
