-
A moderate injury when musculoskeletal tissue had
been partially, but not totally torn which causes appreciable limitation in
function of the injured tissue.
grade two injury
-
A severe injury in which tissue has been
significantly, and in some cases totally, torn or otherwise disrupted causing a
virtual total loss of function.
grade three injury
-
A mild injury in which ligament, tendon, or other
musculoskeletal tissue may have been stretched or contused, but not torn or
otherwise disrupted.
grade one injury
-
Tumor-like mass produced by an accumulation of coagulated blood in a cavity.
hematoma
-
extreme extension of a limb or part
hypertension
-
The body's
natural response to injury in which the injury site might display various
degrees of pain, swelling, heat, redness and/or loss of function.
inflammation

medial
-
Relating to death of a portion of tissue.

posterior
-
In the foot,
it is a combination of motions resulting in a position such that the foot is abducted and everted. Foot pronation can be a by-product of an arch problem, leg length discrepancy, or chronically bad running mechanics; can becompromised with the use of an orthotic. In the hand, pronation is movement of the forearm into a palm down position.
pronation
-
Injury resulting from the stretch or twist of the joint and causes various degrees of stretch of tear of a ligament or other soft tissue at the joint.
sprain
-
Injury resulting from a pull or torsion to the muscle or tendon that causes various degrees of stretch or tear to the muscle or tendon tissue.
strain
-
In anatomy, the upper of two parts; toward the top or above.
superior
-
Movement of the forearm into a palm-up position.
supination
-
Angulation outward and away from the midline of the body
Valgus
-
