Meditation is considered one of the oldest, simplest, and best forms for relieving stress. Globally, diverse techniques of meditation are being followed. The practice of continuous meditation can help relax the body, mind, and soul. It is the only way to bring inner peace and the fastest way of relieving stress. Meditation is a tool to understand the relationship between everything. the end goal of Meditation is to increase knowledge and understanding. it is not the medium to escape reality. What exactly is meditation? Though many people all over the world have followed the meditation, it is still a lot misunderstood. In earlier years, meditation was practiced to understand the profound significance of life's sacred and mystical forces. But meditation slowly and gradually became part of releasing stress and a technique for relaxation. Meditation simply means shifting the focus from the countless minded thoughts to the process of breathing. Sitting in silence is the process

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are two tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect the thighbone (femur) and the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the knee joint.  Like other types of sprains, PCL injuries are classified according to a traditional grading system. Grade I — A mild injury causes only microscopic tears in the ligament. Although these tiny tears can stretch the PCL out of shape, they do not significantly affect the knee's ability to support your weight. Grade II (moderate) — The PCL is partially torn, and the knee is somewhat unstable, meaning it gives out periodically when you stand, walk or have diagnostic tests. Grade III (severe) — The PCL is either completely torn or is separated at its end from the bone that it normally anchors, and the knee is more unstable. Because it usually takes a large amount of force to cause a severe PCL injury, patients with Grade III PCL sprains often also have sprains of t

In the past, rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction involved long periods of continuous immobilization of the knee in a position of flexion and an extended period (often 6 to 8 weeks) of restricted weight-bearing. Return to full activity often took a full year. What kind of precautions must be taken after ACL Reconstruction is discussed here which are, Resistance Training—General Precautions Progress exercises more gradually for reconstruction with hamstring tendon graft than bone-patellar tendon-bone graft. Progress knee flexor strengthening exercises cautiously if a hamstring tendon graft was harvested and knee extensor strengthening if a patellar tendon graft was harvested. Closed-Chain Training  When squatting in an upright position, be sure that the knees do not move anterior to the toes as the hips descend because this increases shear forces on the tibia and could potentially place excess stress on the autograft.  Avoid closed-chain strengthening of the quadriceps

One method of measuring the effectiveness of a resistance exercise program and calculating an appropriate exercise load for training is to determine a repetition maximum. This term was first reported decades ago by DeLorme in his investigations of an approach to resistance training called progressive resistive exercise (PRE).  A repetition maximum (RM) is defined as the greatest amount of weight (load) a muscle can move through the full, available ROM with control a specific number of times before fatiguing. Use of a repetition maximum.  There are two main reasons for determining a repetition maximum: To document a baseline measurement of the dynamic strength of a muscle or muscle group against which exercise-induced improvements in strength can be compared, To identify an initial exercise load (amount of weight) to be used during exercise for a specified number of repetitions. DeLorme reported use of a 1-RM (the greatest amount of weight a subject can move through the availa

There is more than one accepted classification for clavicle fractures.  how it brakes?  Most clavicle fractures are caused by a fall or other direct trauma to the shoulder, usually with the clavicle bending and breaking over the fulcrum of the first rib. Falls on an outstretched hand, although commonly cited, account for a smaller percentage of clavicle fractures.   1. Craig's classification For Clavicle fracture: Group I- fracture of the middle one third (most clavicular fractures are the group I fractures; Group II -fracture of the lateral or distal one third  Type I -minimally displaced Type II -displaced secondary to a fracture medial to the coracoclavicular ligament complex Type III -fracture of the articular surface Type IV -ligaments intact to the periosteum, with a displacement of the proximal fragment Type V -comminuted Group III-fracture of the medial one third Type I -minimally displaced Type II -displaced Type III -intraarticular Typ

Having wrist pain? and your doctor is prescribing you Carpal tunnel syndrome ? well, let's talk about this Condition. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition of the wrist and hand that can affect the use of the whole arm. It is caused by pressure on the nerve at the base of the palm (median nerve). Symptoms include numbness, pins and needles, and pain (particularly at night). Anything that causes swelling inside the wrist can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, including repetitive hand movements, pregnancy, and arthritis. The following health conditions can also lead to CTS: 1. Inflammation and swelling of the tendons of the wrist 2. Injuries like strain, sprain, dislocation, and fracture to the wrist 3. excessive fluid retention. mostly in pregnancy and during some medication like steroids 4. Diabetes, Hormone and Metabolic changes. 5. Degenerative and rheumatoid arthritis. 6. Obesity or sedentary lifestyle Signs and Symptoms When the nerve is comp
