In other cases, people can develop flat feet due to trauma or an injury, Hartzell says. For instance, someone may make a jump from a height and tear the ligament when they land incorrectly.
Great and sudden force applied, by either a blow or fall, to the joint can cause the bones in the joint to be displaced or dislocated from normal position. [5] With each dislocation, the ligaments keeping the bones fixed in the correct position can be damaged or loosened, making it easier for the joint to be dislocated in the future. [6]
[16] [2] Whiplash injury, whereby the force causes strain to the capsule and ligaments of the apophyseal joints of the cervical spine. [7] Hyper-flexion is a common mechanism of injury in the cervical spine associated with an anterior compression vector and a posterior distraction vector. [18]
Orthopedists are no stranger to bone breaks, sprains, tears and other traumatic injuries. These are often sustained during competitive sports or accidents. However, many orthopedic injuries are ...
A sprain is a soft tissue injury of the ligaments within a joint, often caused by a sudden movement abruptly forcing the joint to exceed its functional range of motion.. Ligaments are tough, inelastic fibers made of collagen that connect two or more bones to form a joint and are important for joint stability and proprioception, which is the body's sense of limb position and movem
Hip Dislocation. A hip dislocation occurs when the ball of the hip joint moves out of place from where it’s supposed to be in the socket. The most common cause is car accidents. Jumping down ...
The shape of the ends of the bones—Some joints normally have a large range of movement, such as the shoulder and hip. Both are ball-and-socket joints. If a shallow rather than a deep socket is inherited, a relatively large range of movement will be possible. If the socket is particularly shallow, then the joint may dislocate easily.
Sobie says the slip on boat shoe with its no-tie laces is a great choice for older adults with flat feet "as it helps keep the foot properly aligned, reducing strain on the joints and preventing ...
