Tetra-amelia syndrome
Tetra-amelia syndrome (sometimes known as TETAMS) is a very rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs.
Limb difference
“Limb” is another name for the arms or legs. Limb differences are when an arm or leg is not shaped in the usual way. For example, a child’s legs may be curved or one might be shorter than the other. Or, a bone in the arm may be short or missing. A limb difference that a child is born with is called congenital. A limb difference that happens after birth is called acquired.
Horse accident leads for amputation
Head injuries are the most common reason for admission to hospital or death among riders. Sobering statistics reveal the high percentage of equine-related accidents resulting in traumatic brain injury, and helmets have been associated with reducing the risk of traumatic brain injury by as much as 50 percent. Yet, many riders still do not wear a helmet.
Physical disability
A physical disability is a substantial and long-term limitation affecting a person’s mobility, physical functioning, stamina or agility. It can limit the individual, either temporarily or permanently, by becoming disabled for a wide range of reasons, such as genetic disorder, injury or a specific condition.
Paralympic athletes
A Paralympian is an athlete who competes in the Paralympic games. They’re athletes that have bodily differences and different types of disabilities.
Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is part of a spectrum of congenital deformities affecting the femur, more comprehensively named congenital femoral.
Congenital amputation
A congenital amputation means a limb is not formed correctly or is missing at birth. This happens while the limb is being formed in the womb. It is often: • Not genetic, meaning passed from parent to child • Not because of anything you did or did not do before your baby was born Congenital amputations may include one or more of the following: • Different limb lengths • Poor joint function • Weak muscles • Fragile skin.
Amputation for electric shock
Serious, disabling and disfiguring injuries are common and can happen after an electric shock injury. These injuries may include: (1) heart damage; (2) brain damage; (3) burns; (4) nerve damage; and/or (5) miscarriage.
Amputation for train crash
Train accidents have been known to cause serious injuries. This can include serious head injuries. These types of injuries including permanent disfigurement, serious burns and amputations often require life-long care. Victims and their families are often left with little compensation for their injuries.
Lung cancer
Lung cancer with bone metastases refers to secondary or metastatic tumours that are formed from cancer cells that have broken away from a primary lung cancer and spread through the lymphatic system or blood stream to the bones. Lung cancer is the third most common cause of bone metastases.
Lesiones Pág.2. A causa del mal uso de las nuevas tecnologías
Dentro de este día a día nos vamos a centrar en un ámbito particular, que no es otro que el de todas aquellas lesiones que se producen debido al uso en unas ocasiones, y al mal uso en otras, de las nuevas (y no tan nuevas) tecnologías que nos acompañan tanto en el trabajo como en el ámbito privado.
Lesiones Pág.1
Daño o detrimento corporal causado por una herida, un golpe o una enfermedad.
Según La Organización Mundial de la Salud, una lesión es “toda alteración del equilibrio biopsicosocial”.
En clínica, una lesión es un cambio anormal en la morfología o estructura de una parte del cuerpo producida por un daño externo o interno.
Lesiones Pág.3. En el deporte
Antes de nada, deberemos empezar por lo más básico, y es saber exactamente qué es una lesión. En el ámbito deportivo nos referimos a una lesión cuando un músculo (o varios), y/o una articulación (o varias) han sufrido un daño debido al cual se impide su normal ejecución de movimientos y esfuerzos a causa de la aparición de dolores, o en los casos más graves por la pérdida de movilidad.
