34 Elbow and forearm E lb ow and forea rm The elbow joint complex consists of a hinge joint between the humerus of the arm and the ulna of the forearm, plus a secondary hinge joint between the radius of the forearm and the humerus, both of which are constrained to uniaxial flexion – extension motion (see planes and axes of movement). A third joint occurs between the bones of the forearm: the proximal radioulnar joint, which is often considered to be part of the elbow joint because it is contained within the same articular capsule.
2007) ‘Foot orthoses in lower limb overuse conditions: a systematic review and meta-analysis’, Foot and Ankle International, 28: 396–412. 44 Gait analysis Gait an alysi s Gait analysis is the study of walking or running. It is used in both clinical and sporting contexts and ranges from basic observational analysis to advanced three-dimensional motion analysis (see Hot Topic 3). Key components of the gait cycle are considered and the physiotherapist or sports scientist reports on these to the client, making comparisons with the normal gait cycle and focusing on those aspects that might be related to an increased risk of injury.
The vertebral column is not simply a stack of vertebrae, but has four curved regions: the cervical curve is convex anteriorly, followed by the thoracic curve, which is concave anteriorly, the anteriorly convex lumbar curve, and the anteriorly concave pelvic curve. Since the vertebrae protect the spinal cord, injuries to this region are potentially very severe. Depending on the vertebral level at which the spinal cord is damaged, more or less of the body may be paralyzed. As a result, most sports have rules that are designed to minimize the risk of spinal cord damage.
