Document Summary
Increasing performance: recovering from injuries, helps all kind of people, not just athletes. Today: anatomy review, risk management, and emergency action plan. Anatomy review: three levels of prevention, primary prevention: concerned with preventing the onset of injury/disease it aims to reduce the incidence of injury/disease. Superior: nearer to vertex (top point of cranium). Inferior: nearer to the sole of the foot: proximal: nearer to origin of structure. Lateral: farther away from median plane: valgus: body segment is curved outwards from its proximal to its distal end. Varum: body segment is curved inwards from its proximal to its distal end: lordosis: exaggerated curvature of the spine in the lumbar region. Kyphosis: dorsally exaggerated thoracic curvature of the spine: valgus and varum can have consequences in the long run, especially for people who play sports, superficial: close to the surface of the body or body structure.
