Correct posture minimizes stress on muscles, bones, and joints while incorrect posture places abnormal stress on these structures. Examine posture with the patient in a static position and in as few clothes as possible to allow an unobstructed view of all postural elements. Postural deviations cannot be recognized as abnormal unless normal posture is identified.
Systematically examine patients who are unconscious for no known reason, proceeding from searching for life-threatening conditions to identifying potential signs and symptoms that may reveal the cause for unconsciousness. Your first goal is to look for unconsciousness and life-threatening conditions by examining vital signs and checking for severe bleeding. Although injuries to the extremities usually do not cause loss of consciousness, these signs may indicate the severity of trauma and ...
Acute soft tissue injuries can result from direct trauma, movements forcing the joint beyond its normal range, and forceful muscle contraction during activity. Sprains of the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular (AC) joint occur more frequently than sternoclavicular (SC) joint sprains. Signs and symptoms of acute rotator cuff injury resulting from these mechanisms include anterolateral shoulder pain, point tenderness, decreased ROM, and loss of strength consistent with the severity of injury.
Explore data on the effects of bracing on uninjured, ACL-deficient, and ACL-reconstructed knees. This chapter reviews what is currently known about the effectiveness of knee bracing in preventing injury to the ACL and reinjury of ACL grafts. In an effort to determine if bracing is effective in preventing ACL injury, ACL graft injury, or injury to the ACL-deficient knee, we considered the highest level of scientific evidence available in the literature.

The purpose of this study was to determine if a flexibility program could improve the range of motion of the upper body and in particular neck rotation. Upper body flexibility training consisted of the following static stretches: trunk side flexion, shoulder retraction and protraction, neck side flexion, neck rotation, forward neck flexion, neck retraction and diagonal neck movements. Testing of upper body flexibility (by a blinded assessor) included field tests of neck and trunk rotation ...

Repetition emphasizes movements and phrases that are important to the dance; such familiarity with movement is a comfort for the audience (Schrader 2005). A dance consisting of contrasting movement phrases throughout is just as ineffective as choreography composed of continuously repeated phrases. As you continue to view the videotape, be aware of repeated movements and movement phrases.
