Jason is a 21-year-old university student presenting with pain in the back of his right thigh. The pain
started yesterday during soccer game. Jason went to kick the ball and felt an immediate 'pull' in the
back of his right upper thigh. He had to limp off the field and reported mild pain in his right
hamstring muscles with most active movements involving knee flexion and extension. Jason can still
walk around without too much discomfort.
b) Suggest what type of injury Jason has sustained and discuss what structures are typically damaged
in muscle strain?

There can be measurable differences in muscle strength, endurance, range of motion, coordination, elasticity, and flexibility of connective tissue. Regular exercise is necessary to prevent a decrease in muscle strength. Exercise helps to strengthen muscles and keeps joints, tendons, and ligaments more flexible, allowing for a more active lifestyle. Please research and describe some activities you could recommend to an elderly patient to stay active to help them maintain muscle massarrow_forwardDuring her initial visit with the physical therapist, Mrs. Tanner presented with significant "foot drop" (the inability to dorsiflex the foot when taking a step). Mrs. Tanner was asked to perform a variety of movements with her right lower extremity. The therapist focused her attention on the prime movers and synergists of the hip, knee, and ankle. What are "prime movers" and "synergists"? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
