Arm

In human anatomy, the arm refers to the upper limb in common usage, although academically the term specifically means the upper arm between the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint) and the elbow joint.

See Ligamentous laxity and Arm

Arthralgia

Arthralgia literally means 'joint pain'.

See Ligamentous laxity and Arthralgia

Blood vessel

Blood vessels are the structures of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.

See Ligamentous laxity and Blood vessel

Chondromalacia patellae

Chondromalacia patellae (also known as CMP) is an inflammation of the underside of the patella and softening of the cartilage.

See Ligamentous laxity and Chondromalacia patellae

Chronic pain

Chronic pain or chronic pain syndrome is a type of pain that is also known by other titles such as gradual burning pain, electrical pain, throbbing pain, and nauseating pain.

See Ligamentous laxity and Chronic pain

Connective tissue

Connective tissue is one of the four primary types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.

See Ligamentous laxity and Connective tissue

Developmental coordination disorder

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD), also known as developmental motor coordination disorder, developmental dyspraxia or simply dyspraxia (from Ancient Greek praxis 'activity'), is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired coordination of physical movements as a result of brain messages not being accurately transmitted to the body.

See Ligamentous laxity and Developmental coordination disorder

Dislocated shoulder

A dislocated shoulder is a condition in which the head of the humerus is detached from the glenoid fossa.

See Ligamentous laxity and Dislocated shoulder

Down syndrome

Down syndrome (United States) or Down's syndrome (United Kingdom and other English-speaking nations), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.

See Ligamentous laxity and Down syndrome

Ehlers–Danlos syndrome

Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 genetic connective-tissue disorders.

See Ligamentous laxity and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome

Flat feet

Flat feet, also called pes planus or fallen arches, is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.

See Ligamentous laxity and Flat feet

The foot (feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates.

See Ligamentous laxity and Foot

Gait

Gait is the pattern of movement of the limbs of animals, including humans, during locomotion over a solid substrate.

See Ligamentous laxity and Gait

Genetic disorder

A genetic disorder is a health problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome.

See Ligamentous laxity and Genetic disorder

Heredity

Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

See Ligamentous laxity and Heredity

Hypermobility (joints)

Hypermobility, also known as double-jointedness, describes joints that stretch farther than normal. Ligamentous laxity and Hypermobility (joints) are skeletal disorders.

See Ligamentous laxity and Hypermobility (joints)

Joint

A joint or articulation (or articular surface) is the connection made between bones, ossicles, or other hard structures in the body which link an animal's skeletal system into a functional whole.

See Ligamentous laxity and Joint

Joint stability

Joint stability refers to the resistance offered by various musculoskeletal tissues that surround a skeletal joint.

See Ligamentous laxity and Joint stability

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), formerly known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), is the most common chronic rheumatic disease of childhood, affecting approximately 3.8 to 400 out of 100,000 children.

See Ligamentous laxity and Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Klippel–Feil syndrome

Klippel–Feil syndrome (KFS), also known as cervical vertebral fusion syndrome, is a rare congenital condition characterized by the abnormal fusion of any two of the seven bones in the neck (cervical vertebrae).

See Ligamentous laxity and Klippel–Feil syndrome

Knee effusion

Knee effusion, informally known as water on the knee, occurs when excess synovial fluid accumulates in or around the knee joint.

See Ligamentous laxity and Knee effusion

Larsen syndrome

Larsen syndrome (LS) is a congenital disorder discovered in 1950 by Larsen and associates when they observed dislocation of the large joints and face anomalies in six of their patients.

See Ligamentous laxity and Larsen syndrome

Ligament

A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones.

See Ligamentous laxity and Ligament

Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body.

See Ligamentous laxity and Magnetic resonance imaging

Marfan syndrome

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a multi-systemic genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue.

See Ligamentous laxity and Marfan syndrome

Medical genetics

Medical genetics is the branch of medicine that involves the diagnosis and management of hereditary disorders.

See Ligamentous laxity and Medical genetics

Mitral valve prolapse

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a valvular heart disease characterized by the displacement of an abnormally thickened mitral valve leaflet into the left atrium during systole.

See Ligamentous laxity and Mitral valve prolapse

Muscle

Muscle is a soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissue.

See Ligamentous laxity and Muscle

Orthopedic surgery

Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics (alternative spelling orthopaedics) is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system.

See Ligamentous laxity and Orthopedic surgery

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of degenerative joint disease that results from breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone. Ligamentous laxity and Osteoarthritis are skeletal disorders.

See Ligamentous laxity and Osteoarthritis

Osteogenesis imperfecta

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), colloquially known as brittle bone disease, is a group of genetic disorders that all result in bones that break easily. Ligamentous laxity and Osteogenesis imperfecta are skeletal disorders.

See Ligamentous laxity and Osteogenesis imperfecta

Shoe insert

A removable shoe insert, otherwise known as a foot orthosis, insole or inner sole, accomplishes many purposes, including daily wear comfort, height enhancement, plantar fasciitis treatment, arch support, foot and joint pain relief from arthritis, overuse, injuries, leg length discrepancy, and other causes such as orthopedic correction and athletic performance.
