Percussion

The short bones of the ankle and foot

Training devoted to improving technique; may involve performing the actual skill or
performing drills that mimic specific aspects of the skill

Inflammation of a tendon

Lesions caused by decreased local blood flow (ischemia) secondary to peritendinitis

Cord or sheet of collaginous connective tissue that attaches to muscle to bone

Inflammation of atendon Synovial sheath

Pulling force whose direction and point of application would tend to lengthen or stretch an
object along the dimension coinciding with the line of action of the force

State of an object as a result of forces pulling on it and producing tensile stress; tensile
stress is axial stress that tends to pull molecules apart and stretch the object

An acute, often fatal condition characterized by tonic muscular spasm, Hyperreflexia, and
lockjaw

Tetanus toxin modified to produce active immunity against clostridium tetani

Heat therapy

Plural of thrombus; blood clots that block small blood vessels or a cavity of the heart

Inflammation of a vein and the subsequent formation of blood clots

The large, long bone of the leg

The superficial muscle of the anterior leg

Superficial fungal infections of the skin

A fungal infection of the foot and toes

Ringing in the ears

Rigid muscle contraction that lasts over a period of time

Rudimentary reflex associated with the position of the neck and affecting the muscles of
the upper extremity

The turning effect caused by a force about an axis; force times moment arm; expressed as
units of force times units of length or as newton-meters in SI; a vector quantity

Act or state of being twisted

Torques in opposite directions acting on either end and around the longitudinal axis of an
object produce shear stresses in the analysis plane that become larger with increased
distance from the longitudinal axis; as result of a torsion load, an object will deform by
twisting

Legal wrongs committed against a person

Ability of a material to absorb energy before failing

See cancellous bone

A substance that is introduced into the tissues to follow or trace an otherwise unidentifiable
substance or event

A method of delivering air to the lungs by incising the skin and trachea and inserting a tube
to form an airway; an emergency technique used only when the athlete’s life is threatened
by an immovable obstruction to the upper airway. Training is required to properly perform
this technique

Stroke volume increases while heart rate is reduced at a given exercise load

Temporary paralysis

Refers to anterior gliding of tibial plateau

Any of the imaginary lines running from left to right and perpendicular to the sagittal
planes; horizontal axis; frontal axis; mediolateral axis; frontal-transverse axis

An imaginary plane running from side to side and anterior to posterior that divides the body
into superior and inferior parts; horizontal plane

The broad superficial muscle of the upper back that originates from the vertebral column
(cervical and thoracis) and attaches to the spine of the scapula

Wound or injury

Pertaining to an injury or wound

The process of determining the priority of treatment

A painful condition involving cranial nerve V, with possible motor involving one side of the
mouth and paresthesia in the cheek

Small hyperirritable areas within a muscleA pathological condition characterized by a small, hypersensitive area located within muscles and fasciae

Pertaining to efferent nerves controlling the nourishment of the area they innervate

Movement of fluid molecules such that adjacent layers of fluid do not flow parallel to one another and they separate from the surface of the object in a fluid

A nodulelike projection off a bone, serving as an attachment site for muscles and ligaments; referred to as a tubercle in the upper extremity

A muscle that exerts its force across two different joints and whose strength is dependent on the position of those joints

Smaller-diameter muscle fiber characterized by aerobic metabolism, slow development of maximum tension, smaller maximum tension, and longer during of tension development (endurance); first to be recruited; also referred to as slow-twitch oxidative (SO) fiber

Larger-diameter muscle fiber characterized by aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, faster development of maximum tension, larger maximum tension, and long duration of tension development (endurance); second to be recruited; also referred to as fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) fiber

Larger-diameter muscle fiber characterized by anaerobic metabolism, fastest development of maximum tension, largest maximum tension, and shortest duration of tension development (low endurance); last to be recruited; also referred to as fast-twitch glycolytic (FG) fiber
