Synonyms: anteversio Anteversion The anteversion is the forward leading of the stretched or bent arms/legs. Combined means the anteversion from the Latin ante (in front) and vertere (turning/turning). In the picture, an anteversion of the stretched arm in the shoulder joint is shown. This results in a contraction of the anterior shoulder muscle. A shot … Anteversion
The ankle joint impresses with its high mobility combined with immense stability and resilience. This only works because of the complex ligamentous apparatus, which supports the bony and muscle-tendon apparatus of the ankle joint with numerous ligaments. These ligaments are necessary because of the enormous pressure exerted on the ankle joint by body weight. They … Ligaments of the ankle joint
The Delta Band The deltoid ligament (“Ligamentum deltoideum” or also Ligamentum collaterale mediale) is, as the name suggests, a triangular band which is located on the inside of the ankle joint. It consists of four parts: Pars tibiotalaris anterior, pars tibiotalaris posterior, pars tibionavicularis, pars tibiocalcanea. All four parts of the ligament originate together from … The Delta Band | Ligaments of the ankle joint
Synonym: Flexion Diffraction (Flexion) Besides stretching, flexion is the most common movement in weight training. In the initial situation the arm/leg is stretched. The arm does not have to lie against the body. During the contraction phase, the joint becomes wrapped around the arm. In the picture you can see a flexion in the elbow … Diffraction
Synonyms latin: adducere Abduction In abduction, the extremities are removed from the body. For example, one can imagine the abduction of the stretched arms in the shoulder joint. Here, the outer part of the shoulder muscles contracts. Butterfly reverse is another form of abduction in the shoulder joint, but with the arms in a forward … Abduction
What is the Tibial Posterior Reflex? The Tibialis-Posterior Reflex belongs to the muscular reflexes. This means that the blow to the tendon of the muscle triggers the reaction in the same muscle. The posterior tibialis muscle is located in the lower leg. When the corresponding tibialis posterior tendon is struck – i.e. a reflex is … The Tibialis Posterior Reflex
What does a weakening of the reflex indicate? A reflex always runs through two nerve connections: From the muscle up to the spinal cord and then back to the muscle where the muscle movement (contraction) is triggered. When damage occurs in the reflex arc, the reflex becomes stronger or weaker, depending on the extent of … What does a weakening of the reflex indicate? | The Tibialis Posterior Reflex
The classification is according to Weber and indicates the extent of the fracture and concomitant injuries. The fracture in the most minor injury, Weber A, is below the joint gap, with intact syndesmosis ligaments. In Weber B, the fracture is generally still stable at the level of the joint gap or in the area of … Stress after an ankle fracture
Risks of early exposure If the foot is loaded too early, a refracture may occur or the healing of the wound may be delayed. In addition, if a set screw had to be inserted, too early loading may cause the material to collapse, which would mean a new operation. In other cases, it is possible … Risks of early exposure | Stress after an ankle fracture
Resources For the accompanying treatment of an ankle fracture can be treated with supporting bandages and tape. Stabilizing tape bandages and bandages are very effective in restoring confidence in the foot, especially after the healing process has subsided and the sporting activity has begun. They also reduce the strain and the ankle joint feels much … Resources | Stress after an ankle fracture
Definition Tendons are stable, partially stretchable connections between muscles and bones. The tibialis posterior tendon connects the posterior tibialis muscle in the lower leg with the bone attachments under the foot. Movement of the muscle is thus passed on to the foot via the tendon and leads to flexion of the sole of the foot, … Tibialis posterior tendon
Tibialis posterior tendon diseases The tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle can become inflamed when strongly irritated or rupture or tear under sudden, severe stress. Pain in tendons usually occurs when the tendon is under stress. However, pain is only a symptom of other damage and not the disease itself. The pain can be the … Tibialis posterior tendon diseases | Tibialis posterior tendon
