A distal radius fracture, commonly known as a wrist fracture, is a break in the radius bone near the wrist joint. Surgery may be necessary to realign and stabilize the bone to prevent complications such as stiffness, weakness, and pain. After surgery, patients should watch out for signs of infection

Proprioceptors play a crucial role in providing information about the position of body parts, muscle spindle response to stretch, and muscle tension regulation. Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs are key components in maintaining muscle tone and ensuring proper reflex actions. This article delv

Achilles tendinopathy refers to pain, swelling, and physical impairment of the Achilles tendon. The causes include excessive loading, tight calf muscles, increased body weight, and biomechanical factors. Symptoms range from pain along the tendon to restricted ankle movement. Diagnosis involves a hea
