moves toward the midline. Inward toward the body.

• (heel bone)
• tendon strongest and thickest of the body.

• muscle to bone.

bone to bone.

attaches the gastrocnemius muscle(muscle of the calf) to heel bone.

• a sheet of fibrous connective tissue that covers, supports, and separates muscle.
• flexable for movement but not elastic to accomodate swelling of enclosed tissues.

thick band of tissue that covers the bones on bottom of foot.

• inflammation of the tendons that joins the forarm muscles on the outside of the elbow.
• three joints: humerus, radius, ulna.

• lateral:(tennis elbow) pain on the outside of forarm.
• medial:(golfer's elbow) pain on the palm side of forarm.

• cartilage bumps.
• outside, tendons around the elbow.

• Overuse/alot of movement.
• Due to specific damage to forarm.
• The (ECRB)extensor carpi radialis brevis(brief) muscle helps stabilize the wrist when the elbow is straight.

• most ppl who get tennis elbow are between 30-50.
• any one with risk factors.( racquet sports, improper stroke technique, improper equipment.

• pain or burning on the outer part of the elbow.
• weak grip strength.

• EMG diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity within muscle fibers in response to nerve stimulation.
• is used to rule out nerve compressions. Many nerves travel around the elbow, and the symptoms of the nerve compressions are similar to those of tennis elbow.

greek word karpos meaning wrist.

• tendons that pass though the carpal tunnel are chronically overused and become inflamed and swollen.
• symptom: numbness and tingling in hand.(more at night)

all except pinky finger and ring finger because are innervated by a different nerve.

• stretching of the tissue(a sprain in ligaments,or strain in tendons) without tearing of the fibers.
• characterized by pain and mild dysfunction of teh tissue or body part and minimal to no swelling.
