...Have you ever thought about seeing yourself in the mirror and realizing that there are no arms on you? Or have you had to face the fact that you can’t walk because you have no legs? And what would you do if you didn't have either arms or legs? Will you still praise God for being who you are? If you wondering about what kind of hero that I’m going to tell you about, be prepared, because you’ll be amazed. Nick was born in Melbourne, Australia, on December 4, 1982. His birth was a big shock for every single person of his family. He had no limbs: no legs and no arms. The doctors couldn’t find any reason why that happened. Nick’s dad was a priest. People who he led in church were very sad. They gave sympathy to Nick’s dad and helped strengthen him. But they started to ask themselves, if God is love potion, why did he allow this kind of thing to happen to obedient people like Nick’s parents? At first, Nick’s dad thought that his little baby wouldn’t have a long life. But Nick proved them all wrong. Although he wasn’t like most babies, he was a very healthy baby. This fact made people worry about Nick’s future. When Nick began his study at school, he always tried to live like other kids, though at first he had to face refusals and mockeries from them. Unlimited love and prayers from his parents made Nick strong and then he could pass hard times. Slowly, his friends accepted Nick the way he was. God sent him new friends to accompany him. From his dad, Nick learned that God always loves...

...an earthquake invokes fear while the involuntary trembles of spheres do not because it is done without one’s conscious knowledge. In stanza four, Donne is saying that they both cannot accept the absence of each other’s partner or their love will be dull. In stanza five, he is saying that their love is so sophisticated and important that they don’t need their physical body next to each other in order to love each other. In stanza six, the poet is saying that their souls are connected and that even though he must leave, their love spiritually goes through this problem and grows bigger and wider, just like how gold becomes wider when beaten. In stanza seven, he compares their love to a measurement tool with two legs in order for it to work properly, with them being the two legs and how they are...

...to the gym and do weights but never cardio or the tredmill. This goal would even benefit me in baseball for numerous reasons. I wouldnt get tired easy with any exercises i do in anything. i would even think this goal could get me stronger in the legs too. To attain this goal i set myself some steps to achieve this goal. I put myself on a god leg workout plan. Working out my legs would get me more faster than i am now. Another routine i did was run with some of the track team. The track team had some helpful routines and tips for running the mile. Spme of the runners timed me on the miles i ran each week. I would get faster because i also ran sprints that got my cardio up. After i usually ran the tredmil at home in the evening. I kept track of my routines on a log that was given to me prior to the goal i set. To me this goal wasnt very difficult for me as i worked through the steps because i set myself at a good pace for everything. The relevant information i searched for my goal was alright. It mainly told me what to eat or some workout routines. I seartched on how to get faster mile times on google. It gave me some websites but mainly just eating the right foods. Well to get faster you hve to get a stronger legs. Every leg muscle is necessary for this.

... he was approximately three steps down the chair he was holding in his right hand caught on the edge of the doorway. This caused him to lose his balance and fall to the bottom of the first landing which resulted in a badly sprained ankle and bruised ribs. A tradesman (Drew Brown) was coming up the stairs at the time but was unable to stop the incident from occurring.

...groups that need to be trained are the hips, the upper leg muscles (quads and hamstrings), the lower leg muscles (calves), the chest and shoulders, and the abdominal muscles. Resistance, interval, and anaerobic training should be used. The primary energy systems to be stressed are the ATP-PCr and glycolytic systems. The primary sites of concern for injury prevention are the hip flexors, the quads, and the hamstrings. Phase 1: General Preparation-Preseason Overview: The main objective of this phase is to build a base. To do this it is important to involve the maximum number of muscle groups in order to prepare the muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints to endure the harder workouts later on in training. Interval Program: The program has an emphasis on running technique to make the runners as efficient as possible. This program includes both specific technique and speed development drills. It will involve repeated, short, and intense intervals, focusing primarily on the ATP-PCr energy system. Rest periods between intervals will differ in accordance to the intensity and length of the intervals themselves. Training Sessions: Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of low intensity aerobic exercise (jogging two laps around the outdoor track and four laps around the indoor track is a common warm-up) Flexibility: Active stretching of all major muscle groups- high knees, butt kicks, straight legs, quick leg left/right, karaoke, etc. Technique Drills: Form walking...

...48 yr old man presents to ER stating my “left lower leg is killing me.” Patient has been in pain for two days. When asked when the pain started PT states “while I was playing water Volleyball, I felt a pop in my leg, I thought maybe I just strained a muscle but it feels like someone hit me in the back of the leg with a bat, I can’t even walk on my leg.” Upon visual evaluation the leg is swollen and blue in color. Nurse is observing swelling, bruising, and alignment of the two legs. A Thompson test can be used to the severity of the injury. The tender area felt boggy to palpation and a gap was found. Both feet and ankles felt normal, although a non-tender calcaneus was found. The patient had a capillary-refill time of less than two seconds and no neurovascular deficit. The left ankle had normal dorsiflexion and plantar flexion, but there was active resistance on plantar flexion in the right ankle. Passive inversion and eversion movements were normal with no laxity and endpoints were firm. Initial diagnosis was a ruptured Achilles tendon in the right leg and this was confirmed by ultrasonography. Radiography was not indicated. The patient’s case was discussed with an orthopaedic registrar by telephone. The patient’s limb was then placed in equinus cast, in which the ankle is flexed to between 40° and 60°, and plaster of Paris was applied. To ensure the patient’s psychosocial needs were met, and that he had a realistic expectation of rehabilitation and long-term care...

...Definition: An Osgood-Schlatter lesion involves pain and swelling in the small bump of bone on the front of the tibia (shinbone), right below the kneecap. It occurs in children and adolescents. The problem affects the area where bone growth occurs. Too much stress on the growing bone causes the pain and swelling. The pain often worsens with activity and eases with rest. Fortunately, the condition is not serious. It is usually only temporary. –By eorthopod.com Alternative Names: Osteochondrosis –By MedlinePlus Causes, Incidence, and Rick factors: During activities that involve a lot of running, jumping and bending — such as soccer, basketball, volleyball and ballet — your child's thigh muscles (quadriceps) pull on the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shinbone. This repeated stress can cause the tendon to pull away from the shinbone a bit, resulting in the pain and swelling. –By MayoClinic The condition is the most frequent cause of knee pain in children between the ages of 10 and 15. The problem used to happen mostly in boys. But with more girls playing sports, boys and girls are now affected equally. Because girls' skeletons begin to mature earlier than boys, girls tend to have this condition when they are one to two years younger than boys. Kids who play sports have this condition 20 percent more often than nonathletes. –By eorthopod Age: Osgood-Schlatter disease occurs during puberty's growth spurts. Sex: More common in boys (13-14). Girls (11-12). Sports: The condition...

...Walking keeps many important muscle groups working and they are the key muscles that we need to use every day. It can actually be considered a full body exercise. Although the locomotion comes from the work the legs are doing, the arms still have to swing, and the core still has to work to stabilize us while we are moving. It is a sport that requires cardiovascular and muscular endurance. As we walk forward, we move our thighs and hips backward. This movement engages the gluteus muscles in the butt and a number of key muscles in our hamstrings. The hamstrings are a group of 3 posterior muscles working to flex the knee and extend the thigh. They all rise from the ishium, posterior to the hipbone and insert on the bone of the lower legs. These muscles include the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris. The walking forward motion also engages one other small muscle located at the top of our inner thigh, which is the adductor magnus. It is the largest and strongest of the adductor group. The second motion involved in walking is the action of moving our legs forward. This action engages all the major muscles in our thigh, including our quadriceps. These muscles are located in the front of our thighs, and this is also where another major muscle is engaged, our sartorius. This is the longest muscle in our body, and it stretches down from the top of our thigh, curving inside our thigh, ending at the inside part of the knee. The point where our hips and thighs meet will...
