Introduction An inversion ankle sprain is a common injury that happens when your foot rolls inward, stretching or tearing the ligaments on the outside of your ankle. These ligaments are crucial for stability. It’s often caused by activities like stepping awkwardly, landing wrong after a jump, or even just walking on uneven surfaces. Severity can…
Introduction: A supraspinous ligament sprain is an injury to the ligament that runs along the tips of the spinous processes of the vertebrae, primarily in the thoracic and lumbar spine. An injury to the supraspinous ligament, a crucial connective tissue that extends along the spine from the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) to the sacrum, is…
Introduction: An interspinous ligament sprain refers to injury or overstretching of the interspinous ligaments, which are located between the spinous processes of the vertebrae in the spine. These ligaments help stabilize the spine, especially during flexion (forward bending). The term “interspinous ligament sprain” describes damage or overstretching of the bands of fibrous tissue that link…
What is a Deltoid Ligament Sprain? A Deltoid ligament sprain refers to an injury involving the deltoid ligament, a strong, triangular band of connective tissue located on the inner (medial) side of the ankle. This ligament is essential for maintaining ankle joint stability and limiting the foot’s excessive outward movement, or eversion. Spraining the deltoid…
Ataxia-telangiectasia: what is it? Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), also known as Louis-Bar Syndrome, is an uncommon genetic illness that affects the immunological, neurological, and other body systems. When cells in your body’s central nervous system gradually quit functioning, it’s known as a neurodegenerative disease. Ataxia, or difficulty with movement and coordination, is the most prevalent symptom of…
What is an anterior talofibular ligament tear? Anterior Talofibular Ligament tears (ATFLs) are among the most common ankle injuries, especially among athletes and people who participate in physical activities. These injuries can have a major impact on mobility and need to be properly understood, treated, and healed to heal. In this blog, we go over…
Introduction: The disorder known as autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 1 (ARCA1) is characterised by developing mobility issues. Early to mid-adulthood is when the disorder’s signs and symptoms initially manifest. Dysarthria, a speech disability, ataxia, a balance and coordination problem, or both are among the disorder’s early signs. Additionally, they could struggle with movements that…
Introduction: The Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (PLL) is a key spinal structure that runs along the back (posterior) of the vertebral bodies inside the spinal canal, helping to stabilize the spine and limit excessive spinal flexion. An injury to the PLL can result from trauma, repetitive stress, or degenerative changes, and may contribute to spinal instability,…
We’ll look at some of the top resistance band core workouts in this article. From traditional workouts with a twist of resistance to advanced band exercises, you’ll learn how to improve your core training and develop a functional, well-rounded core. Introduction: Resistance bands are among the most flexible and effective equipment for building your core,…
Introduction: The Calcaneofibular Ligament (CFL) is one of the key lateral ligaments of the ankle, connecting the fibula to the calcaneus (heel bone). It provides stability to the ankle, particularly during inversion movements. Injury to the CFL typically occurs due to ankle sprains, especially when the foot rolls inward excessively. Such injuries can cause pain,…
