Knee Joint

The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the femur, tibia, fibula, and patella. It is a complex joint responsible for weight-bearing and locomotion.

Bony Structures

1. Femur

The distal femur has two condyles (medial and lateral) separated by an intercondylar fossa. The anterior aspect features the patellar surface (trochlea) for articulation with the patella.

2. Tibia

The proximal tibia has two condyles (medial and lateral) that articulate with the femoral condyles. The tibial tuberosity is a prominent anterior projection for the patellar ligament attachment.

3. Fibula

The fibula is a slender bone lateral to the tibia. Its head articulates with the lateral tibial condyle, and its distal end forms the lateral malleolus of the ankle.... Continue reading "Knee Joint Anatomy and Biomechanics" »

Bones

Types:

• Short or cubic (tarsal foot)
• Long (metacarpal, femur)
• Wide or flat (skull, sternum)

Joints

• Synarthrosis (without mobility, cranial sutures)
• Cartilaginous joints (little mobility)
  • Syndesmosis (inferior tibiofibular)
  • Synchondrosis (rib or sternum)
• Synovial (high mobility)
  • Artrodia joint (carpal ligament wrist)
  • Condyloid (biaxial and spherical line radio and carpal bones)
  • Ball and socket joint (multiaxial, spherically shoulder, elbow)
  • Trochlea (hinge ankle, knee)
  • Saddle (thumb)
  • Pivot (trochus radioulnar joint)

Bone Structure

• Vein, nerve, artery, Haversian canal, osteoblasts, lamellae, blood vessels, osteons
• Bone marrow, spongy bone, artery, vein, cortical bone, osteon, periosteum, nerve

Muscle Layers

Types: Smooth, cardiac, skeletal (voluntary/striated)... Continue reading "Human Anatomy: Bones, Muscles, Joints, and Posture" »

In the world of body expression, we can differentiate three groups: without the use of words, using words, and with music.

Without the use of words:

These are forms of rich verbal communication. They use basic elements of body expression as a fundamental form of communication. They are used for physical education and movement since body language is a fundamental communication channel.

Mime:

Mime dates back to Ancient Greece, involving two or three characters, and the representation was entirely silent. In Rome, it became a popular genre, and in the first farces, expression relied on oral communication. Over time, oral expression was lost, and mime could be used for political satire or retaliation. Mime is considered the first form of expression... Continue reading "Body Expression in Performing Arts: Mime, Theater, and Dance" »

**Retrocapsular Orthoses**

Stability Goal: Angled floor redistributes force vectors, increases propulsion time, and provides an antalgic effect.

**Subphalangeal Orthoses**

Aligned with the target, it increases support, stops rolling. Headlamp goal for Dynamo goal cushion, metatarsal, and diminishes impact angle.

**Hardness**

• Crosslinking Time: Maximum 30-60 minutes, decreased 12-24 hours, lasts 3-4 weeks (defined). The same values apply to a maximum duration of 20 minutes.
• Catalyst Quantity: Double the amount of catalyst for softer silicones increases the maximum, but the definition varies. Do not crosslink before.
• Type of Paste: Paste is less than the maximum duration, crosslinked slower. Half paste (slow catalyzation) lasts less than the maximum

The Role of Memory in Intellectual Development

Memory is an important factor in intellectual development, influencing thought processes and information processing. Vygotsky considered the relationship between thought and memory, stating that for a young child, "to think means to remember." Current studies focus on the theoretical and evolutionary aspects of storage, coding, and retrieval. These are important from an educational point of view as they allow us to understand different memory strategies in children's short-term memory.

Short-term memory allows us to retain data briefly. For example, a child may remember the mobile toy immediately after seeing it. However, if strategies are not used to retain the information, it will be forgotten.... Continue reading "Memory, Cognition, and Psychomotor Development in Early Childhood" »

Math Operations

Operations with Parentheses

Perform multiplications and divisions first, then additions and subtractions. When simplifying fractions, the greatest common divisor should be used to reduce both the numerator and the denominator.

Expressing Fractions as Decimals

When the decimal is purely periodic (e.g., n = 235.2): The numerator is the number without the decimal point minus the non-periodic part, and the denominator is as many 9s as there are figures in the period.

When the decimal is mixed periodic (e.g., 1.372): The numerator is the number without the decimal point minus the non-periodic part. The denominator consists of as many 9s as there are periodic figures followed by as many 0s as there are non-periodic figures after the decimal... Continue reading "Math Operations" »
