		<description><![CDATA[ Cerebral palsy is not a disease it is a condition Cerebral refers to the brain and palsy means weakness or lack of muscle control In addition, cerebral palsy is not a single problem, but a complex disease in which virtually all brain cell types could need repair Approximately 90 percent of all cases are caused by brain injury during the prenatal period (before labor begins) This condition is caused by damage to brain cells that control the movement of muscles A person with cerebral palsy can have mild to severe physical disabilities There are varying degrees of therapies depending on the degree of condition However, just because a person has cerebral palsy, it does not mean they will have other disabilities Causes and Risks Recent studies suggest that cerebral palsy is mostly due to factors affecting the brain before birth In about 70 percent of cases, cerebral palsy results from events occurring before birth that can disrupt normal development of the brain This condition is caused by an injury to the brain during pregnancy, at birth, or shortly after birth The symptoms are usually not noticeable at birth It was previously assumed that it was caused by fetal distress, such as a lack of oxygen, during the birth process However, lack of oxygen at birth has not been shown to be the major cause The motor deficits of babies are usually unrecognizable before 4-6 months of age A preemie's risk of cerebral palsy is much higher than that of a full-term baby In addition, exposure to herpes group B viruses was associated with a two-fold increase in risk Reproductive/urinary tract infections also may increase the risk in a preterm delivery Preemie's are already at risk for cerebral palsy and account for approximately one-third of the cases Adequate prenatal care may reduce the risk of the unborn baby Viral infections, lead poisoning, or head injuries that occur early in life can result in acquired cerebral palsy, a less common condition Spastic cerebral palsy, the most common type, is a condition in which there is too much muscle tone However, cerebral palsy is NOT a progressive condition, meaning that it does not worsen over time Cerebral palsy generally is a long-lasting (chronic) condition There are roughly 8,000 infants born with this condition each year and some 1,200-1,500 preschool age children acquire cerebral palsy annually Most children are diagnosed by age 5 Despite significant improvements in obstetric and neonatal care in recent years, the incidence of cerebral palsy has not decreased Types Athetoid cerebral palsy affects the ability to control muscles, leading to involuntary and uncontrolled movements in the affected muscles Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type of cerebral palsy Approximately 60 percent of all individuals with cerebral palsy have spasticity that is characterized by tense, contracted muscles Doctors will often describe which type of spastic cerebral palsy a patient has, based on which limbs are affected Ataxic cerebral palsy affects the sense of balance and depth perception Children who suffer from ataxic cerebral palsy can be described as being very shaky and unsteady Symptoms Children with cerebral palsy may develop eating difficulties, bladder and bowel control problems, breathing problems, and learning disabilities Children with cerebral palsy have limited use of their arms due to the dysfunction of their neural motor control and stiffness of their joints Dysarthria is common in people with cerebral palsy, due to problems involving the muscles that control speech and mastication Although Cerebral Palsy is a permanent condition, as a person learns and grows and practices skills, more control over movement may be achieved Treatment Treatment of cerebral palsy requires a team of specialists to help maximize and coordinate movement, minimize discomfort and pain, and prevent long-term complications Because the symptoms of cerebral palsy can cause behavioral and emotional problems, many children benefit from counseling or behavior therapy It is also not "curable" in the accepted sense, although education, therapy, and applied technology can help persons with cerebral palsy lead productive lives The goal of drug therapy is to reduce the effects and prevent complications Physical, speech, and occupational therapy along with counseling today are employed to help people lead healthy, productive lives Most children with cerebral palsy benefit from early and regular physical and occupational therapy In addition, education, therapy, and applied technology can help persons with cerebral palsy lead productive lives Conclusion With early and ongoing treatment, the disabilities associated with cerebral palsy can be reduced People living with cerebral palsy are usually able to live independently in the community, with or without assistance With support and treatment, though, many people with cerebral palsy can live healthy, happy lives ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Let’s talk a little bit about proprioception for a minute That’s a $3 SAT word that means your body’s ability to react properly to external forces For example: if you ride bulls for fun, you must have the ability to react to gravity and the changing forces of the bull to keep from being thrown off That’s proprioception But proprioception is also your ability to walk across a room without falling down One of the main components of proprioception is your kinesthetic sense That is your ability to sense where your body is in space But that’s only one component unless your sport happens to involve standing or lying in space You must also be able to sense and control your body’s movements Think of a gymnast showing perfect control as she throws herself about the parallel bars The key here is the appropriate control of tension by your central nervous system Balance is also a key element to proprioception You will not perform your sport very well if you fall down all the time Balance is also a key to generating power – as any martial artist will tell you Balance in movement as occurs in walking or running, is a process of constantly and consciously losing your balance and regaining it quickly The quicker you can regain your balance, the safer your movement Deliberate Proprioceptive training has normally been reserved for people who are in rehabilitation from injuries Sports injuries in particular can leave decreased performance in the mechanoreceptors in the body Exercises for balance and greater kinesthetic sense are usually prescribed The benefits of proprioceptive training to the healthy athlete are many With increased balance athletes are less prone to injury Athletes may also become quicker – in athletic terms this mean they can change direction faster Proprioceptive training helps them make more precise movements with less effort Think about the martial artist throwing that jumping spinning wazzu – butterfly kick – now that’s proprioception So, the benefits break down to safer, more efficient, quicker, and more precise movement What athlete wouldn’t want that? To be fair, any type of training you do is already working your proprioception – unless you are training for the sleep Olympics Playing you sport itself is a functional integration of your proprioceptive skills However, you may want to spend some time focusing on proprioceptive training – to increase proprioception, then integrate that into your sport Like any kind of training, proprioceptive training should be challenging This forces an adaptive response on your body’s central nervous system This is much like lifting weights where most of the strength gains come from the nervous system – and not from increasing muscle size If all you ever do is lift light weights that aren’t challenging for you – you aren’t going to get much stronger So, I can hear you asking, “what exercises can I do for proprioceptive training?” That’s a great question Let me tell you that there is an astounding array of exercises designed to increase proprioception You know those big rubber stability balls that every gym has these days? Those are great for proprioception There are also wobble boards, Styrofoam doo-hickies, and all sorts of crazy wobbly things designed to challenge your balance and core strength Certain yoga exercises are also designed to challenge balance, as are some forms of kettlebell lifting To get some sport-specific proprioceptive training I suggest you check with a qualified fitness instructor About The Author John D Moore is a personal protection, self defense, and fitness instructor he is the co-founder of Martial Training Systems - see http://wwwmartialtrainingsystemscom and author of the book Quotations for Martial Artists ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In the case of Cerebral Palsy there is no one cause of this severe condition There are many things that may increase the risk of this condition but will not cause cerebral palsy all the time In the majority of cases and average of seventy percent, it results from brain injury before the child is even born this is known as congenital cerebral palsy this would be present from birth but may take months even years to diagnose depending on how severe it illness is There is also a chance of acquired cerebral palsy which could happen through there being a case of meningitis or brain injuries Below are some factors that can increase the chances of cerebral palsy None of the above will definitely lead to cerebral palsy Before birth: Prematurely, long difficult labor, lack of oxygen to the child, Bacterial infection of the mother during birth, low birth weight, severe jaundice, viral, diseases in early pregnancy, attack of the child’s central nervous system, lack of oxygen / nutrients from the placenta to the fetus and incompatible blood types between the mother and child After birth: Viral encephalitis, brain tumors, head injuries and Meningitis Cerebral palsy is broken down into three main types: Ataxic cp, Athetoid cp, Spastic cp Ataxic CP - this is the rarest of the three and occurs when the cerebellum has been damaged this part of the brain controls balance It will be difficult fop the child to coordinate their movements and they will have problems below with balancing Along with the three types of cp some children will have a combination of them all Athetiod CP - This type of cp occurs when the basal ganglion has been damaged and as a result causes involuntary, uncoordinated and uncontrolled movements of the muscles This causing uncontrolled and jerky movements as well as twisting of the fingers and wrists may affect all limbs When walking, it will tend to cause the child to stumble with poor coordination Spastic CP - This type of CP is the most common of the three it occurs when there has been damage to the cortex, which is the part of the brain controlling thought movement and sensation Causes mainly tightness of the muscles, in both the arms and legs of the inflicted The arms will tend to be flat against the side of the body with the hands bent up against the forearm Depending on the damage the legs will either be greatly effected or only mildly it may be only slightly obvious that there is a problem when the child walks or in worse cases both legs are affected and they will be crossed with the toes pointing If the muscles are not exercised often enough this can cause the child to become wheelchair bound Barry Hynes http://cerebral-palsy-101com ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Ward off dry skin during winter sports New research produces a shielding lotion that protects winter skin Whether your winter sport is indoor on the courts or outdoor on the slopes, dry skin can still be an issue New research has produced a different kind of lotion - a shielding lotion that protects skin from allergens and wind while outdoors and helps keep skin hydrated while in heated rooms Staying hydrated from the inside out is the key to combating dry skin and maintaining optimum performance during winter sporting events Drink lots of water to provide enough hydration and then use a shielding lotion The shielding lotion will bond with the skin's outer layer to protect the skin from external irritants and lock in the natural moisture and oils If you are hitting the slopes, it's important to remember that even though the temperatures are cooler in winter, the sun's rays are still just as dangerous as in summer Using a good sunscreen can help protect against UV rays which can even bounce off the reflection of the snow A few other safety tips help to make your winter sporting event one to remember: - Play with a buddy Having a buddy along to check for signs of hypothermia and to serve as a first line of emergency aid can sometimes make all the difference - Wear the right clothes for the right sporting event Improper fitting shoes or equipment can cause accidents Articles of clothing that are too loose can get caught in equipment and machinery, and clothes that are too tight can restrict airways, not to mention movement, making you more vulnerable to accidents - Don't drink alcohol Alcohol is a major dehydrator - Have a good stretch Stretching before physical activities can help to prevent sports injuries - Don't overdo it When we push ourselves too far, too fast, injuries occur - Keep your feet warm and dry Avoid hypothermia and frostbite by wearing lightweight, multi-layer clothes that protect you and keep you warm Be safe and be smart when staying active during the winter months Dry skin when left unattended can lead to other health problems, and open the door to infections or rashes A good shieldi ng lotion can help to prevent the ravages of winter ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ What Is Bromelain ? Bromelain is the name of a group of powerful protein-digesting, or proteolytic, enzymes that are found in the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus) Discovered in 1957, and widely studied since then, Bromelain is particularly useful for reducing muscle and tissue inflammation and as a digestive aid Supplements are made from enzymes found in the pineapple stem Health Benefits Of Bromelain Bromelain is a natural blood thinner and anti-inflammatory It works by breaking down fibrin, a blood-clotting protein that can impede good circulation and prevent tissues from draining properly Bromelain also blocks the production of compounds that can cause swelling and pain When inflammation is reduced, blood can move more easily to a traumatized area, easing pain and speeding healing Specifically, Bromelain may help to: Treat sprains, strains, and muscle aches and pains Bromelain reduces swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness that can result from tissue injuries or muscle aches and pains, or from surgery In a 1995 German study, 59 people with strains and torn ligaments were given Bromelain for one to three weeks; researchers found that the supplement caused a significant reduction in swelling, tenderness, and pain, both at rest and during movement The results were comparable to those of people taking NSAIDs such as aspirin Bromelain also has an anti-inflammatory effect on the muscles and can help excess fluid drain from the site of a muscle injury Alleviate back pain and chronic joint pain associated with arthritis In addition to easing the aching and stiffness of back muscles, Bromelain also seems to relieve pain in chronically inflamed joints It has been found that in some arthritis patients, smaller amounts of corticosteroids (such as prednisone) were needed when Bromelain was taken at the same time Aid digestion and reduce heartburn Bromelain can enhance the effect of such digestive enzymes as trypsin or pepsin (especially when the pancreas is producing insufficient amounts of them) Bromelain can also ease the pain of heartburn and lessen the effects of diarrhea when these conditions are caused by a shortage of digestive enzymes Reduce the swelling and pain of gout In some studies, Bromelain relieved the joint and tissue swelling and severe pain related to an attack of gout If taken regularly, Bromelain may also prevent recurrent gout attacks Ease chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, and respiratory allergies In individuals with chronic bronchitis, Bromelain has been shown to suppress cough and ease congestion Patients with sinusitis and allergies that affect the sinuses have also responded to Bromelain therapy; it helps reduce inflammation and fluid retention in the nasal membranes Relieve carpal syndrome tunnel Bromelain reduces tissue swelling that causes the finger numbness, shooting pains, and weakness in the hand associated with this repetitive stress injury Lessen the swelling and accelerate the healing of cuts and scrapes, and insect bites and stings Reduce the symptoms of eczema Bromelain taken with the flavonoid quercetin can relieve the red and often intensely itchy rashes of eczema  More Detail About Bromelain ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Many people don't realize the importance of lifting objects properly in order to avoid hurting their backs One of the leading causes of back injuries are due to people lifting heavy objects improperly In this article I will go over the proper procedures for lifting heavy objects in order to avoid back pain Lifting things doesn't have to be hazardous, whether you're at home or at work Many people put lots of stress on their backs on a regular basis, especially those who have jobs in warehouses or delivery companies Even those who don't spend lots of time lifting heavy objects can make their backs prone to injury over time even if they lift small objects if they do it improperly There are two primary mistakes that many people make when lifting objects The first mistake is using the wrong muscles to lift up objects You're supposed to use the muscles in your legs and buttocks instead of the muscles in your back It is always important to bend your knees when lifting an object off the floor This gives your spine a level foundation and avoids putting too much stress on it It is important to keep your upper body vertical when lifting instead of horizontal Having your upper body horizontal will put a lot of stress on your lower back This pressure could be hundreds of pounds, and eventually you'll suffer a slipped disc or sprain The second mistake people often make is lifting an object too far from their bodies It is important to be as close as possible to whatever you're lifting By holding the object close to you, the amount of pressure exerted on your spine is reduced You want to hold the object by its center and keep it eight inches away from you when you lift Keep your upper body vertical and use the muscles in your knees and buttocks in order to lift it By doing this you avoid damaging you back You also want to avoid twisting your upper body when you left objects as this can add pressure to your spine as well Lifting objects properly in order to avoid back pain is important If you lift a ten pound object at arms length, you are putting at least one hundred and fifty pounds of pressure on your lower back If you hold an eighty eight pound object at arms length, a massive seven hundred pounds is being exerted on your back ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ As more and more of us realize the benefits of exercise and activity, it is imperative to participate and train safely Although sports-related injuries are not totally preventable, taking relevant precautions can reduce their significance and/or severity Sports injuries are commonly associated with sudden breaking of bones, ripping of tendons or tearing of muscles but in non-contact sports most injuries come on gradually An athlete’s greatest strength can often be his greatest weakness Their competitive streak that drives them to train excessively is their worst enemy when it comes to handling injuries Injury avoidance should be as high a priority as increasing strength, gaining cardiovascular fitness or improving flexibility The following are some basic guidelines for reducing the probability of getting injured and are as relevant to the weekend warrior as they are to professional sportspeople Introduce New Activities Gradually A significant proportion of injuries occur when an athlete commences a new activity (or significantly increases the intensity/duration at which they are performing that activity) For example, a common recommendation for runners is to increase their mileage at no more than 10% per week In addition, a proper training program targets both cardiovascular conditioning and sports-specific muscle strengthening Never Train Hard When Stiff If you are sore after every workout then you’re not giving your body time to recover If you try and train at a high intensity when still stiff and sore, then movements are not co-ordinated and injuries are more likely Allow at least 24-48 hours to recover from strenuous activity Properly delivered massage can reduce recovery time appreciably Avoid Exercising When Extremely Tired or in Pain In training or competition, you should not try to push through pain and continue when exhausted Fatigue has been shown to be a highly significant risk factor with respect to injuries Warming Up and Cooling Down Warm muscles stretch better than cold muscles Tendons, muscles and ligaments are more likely to tear when the muscles are cold and stiff Warming-up also help to divert blood flow from non-essential areas to working muscles Cooling down, which should last for around 10-15 minutes after strenuous activity helps the body temperature return to normal as the products of fatigue are flushed from muscles Having a shower as soon after the cool down as possible reduces the degree of stiffening up (ideally a hard training session should be followed by a massage for optimum recovery!) However, a warm-up before training or an event needs to be more than just stretching Studies have shown that effective stretching prior to training has no effect on the probability of an athlete getting injured Stretching on it’s own has no protective benefits even if it does loosen up calves, hamstrings, etc Warm-up needs to replicate the activity albeit at a significantly reduced intensity level Wear the right shoes As shock absorbers, your feet are subjected to huge pressures during strenuous exercise Proper footwear is necessary to cushion the loads and the footwear needs to be appropriate for the activity Wearing shoes that are too light or are unevenly worn are very common causes of injury Calcium deficiency (for Women) Women need to ensure that they are getting sufficient calcium in their diet as stress fractures are 10 times more likely in women than in men Also women who have irregular periods appear to be particularly susceptible to stress fractures Interestingly enough two factors are considered the best predictors of injury These are: (a) Prior history of injury – most injuries are recurrences of previous problems (b) Number of consecutives days of training you carry out each week Reducing the number of consecutive days of training can significantly lower the risk of injury (even if the total weekly training time is the similar) However careful, you may be, injuries happen (particularly in competition) The usual sequence of events is (1) You feel a little pain before or during training but ignore it (2) The pain continues and may even be felt after training although your training is not affected significantly (3) The pain becomes so great that it begins to interfere with your normal training (4) Finally the pain is so bad that your are unable to train (or compete) The time to take action is directly at stage one – don’t leave it to late to contact your health care practitioner and stop doing the activity that makes the exacerbates the injury Richard A Lane is a qualified remedial and sports massage therapist, with a mobile massage practice in Sydney's Inner West (http://wwwinnerwestmassagecomau or info@innerwestmassagecomau) ]]></description>
