Introduction The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in the human body, originating from the lumbar and sacral spine (L4-S3). It runs through the buttocks and down the back of the leg, supplying motor and sensory function to the lower limbs. Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve can lead to sciatica, causing…
What is a Snapping Elbow Syndrome? Snapping elbow syndrome, also known as snapping tricep syndrome, is an uncommon disorder marked by a snapping sensation and symptoms associated with ulnar nerve irritation or subluxation at the cubital tunnel, as well as pain and inflammation caused by a dislocating tricep segment. It is a dynamic phenomenon during…
Introduction The Posterior Talofibular Ligament (PTFL) is a strong ligament in the ankle that connects the talus to the fibula. It is the strongest of the lateral ankle ligaments and plays a crucial role in stabilizing the ankle, especially in preventing excessive posterior movement of the talus. Injuries to the PTFL are rare and usually…
What is Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Injury? The Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) injury involves damage to the cartilage and ligaments on the ulnar side of the wrist, which provide stability and cushioning. It commonly occurs due to falls on an outstretched hand, repetitive wrist motions, or degenerative wear. Symptoms include wrist pain, weakness, and clicking sensations,…
Total hip replacement requires a structured exercise routine to regain strength, mobility, and stability. Key exercises focus on a gentle range of motion, muscle strengthening, and balance to support recovery. Always follow medical advice and progress gradually to ensure safe rehabilitation. Introduction: The pelvis, which is composed of the ischium, pubis, and ilium, and the…
Multiple System Atrophy: What is it? Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurological illness that causes some brain regions to degenerate. Over time, this impairs the capacities and functioning of specific brain regions. This sickness is eventually dangerous. MSA is a unique word that combines the characteristics of three previous disorder designations. The conditions…
Ankle Plantar Flexion Ankle plantar flexion is the movement of pointing the toes downward, away from the body, as in pressing a gas pedal. It engages muscles like the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris, playing a key role in activities like walking, running, and jumping. What are plantar and dorsi flexion of the ankle? Two basic…
Cervical Flexion Cervical flexion is the movement of the neck where the chin moves toward the chest, reducing the angle between the head and the neck. It involves the contraction of the neck’s anterior muscles, primarily the sternocleidomastoid and scalene muscles. This motion is essential for daily activities like looking down and maintaining neck mobility….
Introduction The calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) is a strong, fibrous band located on the lateral side of the ankle. It connects the fibula to the calcaneus (heel bone) and provides stability by preventing excessive inversion of the foot. It is commonly injured in ankle sprains, particularly in combination with the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL). Like the…
