HIP BONE PROBLEMS

Functional Anatomy

The hip joint is a ball and socket joint formed between the head of the femur (thigh bone) and the hip socket (acetabulum).

The important parts of the hip are:-

Ball and Socket Joint - The joint between the head of the femur and the acetabulum (socket) of the pelvis.
Joint Capsule - flexible sac around the joint allowing a wide range of movements. The capsule keeps in place the lubricating synovial fluid.
Greater Trochanter - the attachment point for many of the buttock muscles (hip abduction and external rotation)
Lesser Trochanter - the attachment of iliopsoas muscle (hip flexion)

Hip Movements - in the standing position

Flexion - move your leg forwards.
Extension - move your leg backwards.
Abduction - move your leg away from your side.
Adduction - move your leg towards to other leg.
Internal Rotation - rotate your foot towards the other (toes pointing towards each other).
External Rotation - rotate your foot away from the other (toes pointing outwards).

Walking is divided into 2 phases, the stance phase where one leg is static on the ground, and the swing phase, where one leg is off the ground swinging forwards to make the next step.

During walking body weight is transferred from hip joint to hip joint. In order to prevent your toes from scraping on the ground during the swing phase, gluteus medius on the stance side contracts, tilting the pelvis upwards, lifting the leg clear of the ground.
Weakness of gluteus medius causes the pelvis to dip downwards during the swing phase. This is known as a positive Trendelenburg Test. Gluteus medius can be weak due to either an L5 nerve root lesion in the spine, proximal myopathy (muscular dystrophy, hip osteoarthritis), or congenital hip deformities (coxa vara, congenital dislocation of the hip - CDH).
Using vector diagrams it has been calculated that during the stance phase of walking, 4 times the body weight is applied to the load bearing surface of the hip joint. Being overweight therefore places an increased loading bearing burden on the hip joints leading to premature osteoarthritis.

10 BEAUTY TIPS

1. Brushing Up

Make body brushing a part of your daily routine. Scrubbing out dirt and grime is the least of its advantages. Body brushing tones and stimulates skin, helping with the natural drainage of the lymph glands. It also helps combat cellulite. When brushing, work towards the heart, up from your legs and thighs, and down from your neck. Oh, and remember, skin should be dry while body-brushing, so make sure you have a soft brush - you don't want abrasions that are hard to explain!

2. Banana Rama

For a great homemade face softener, try this: mash a banana and apply it to your face. Leave on for ten minutes and wash off with lukewarm water. Your face feels like satin. Plus, it puts those over ripe gooey bananas to good use!

3. Pearly White

Ever looked in the mirror and felt that your teeth were going from white to off-white to yellow? Take a hard look at your habits. The biggest culprits in the teeth-yellowing process are tobacco, coffee, tea and red wine. So if you must indulge, brush your teeth afterwards whenever possible, or at least rinse with water.

4. Shades Of Summer

A snazzy pair of sunglasses not only looks great, but also delays the onset of crow's feet (wrinkles on the sides of the eyes) which are accelerated by squinting in the sun.

5. Peaches And Cream

Great looks come with great skin, so get crackin' on that epidermis. Dirt and oil blocks pores causing blackheads and pimples, while dirt, grime and pollutants are drawn to oily skin like moths to a flame. So wash your face as often as possible, and cleanse at least twice a day.

6. Instant Glow

So you've just reached home after a nerve-wrecking day at the office and have to leave immediately for a dinner party thrown by your husband's most revered business client. How to get that glow in a flash? You could cheat and layer on the blusher, but a better option would be to try this: simply mix equal amounts of lemon and honey, apply it to your face and wash off after ten minutes.

7. Luscious Locks

Nothing improves the quality of your hair better than getting a regular oil massage. Get it done at home once a week if you have a husband or mother-in-law that dotes on you, or visit your neighbourhood parlour.

8. All Steamed Up

After applying oil wrap your hair in a steaming towel for twenty minutes. Give your hair this steaming treatment at least once a month. Steaming hair after applying oil helps it soak deeper into the follicles.

9. Fun In The Sun

The sun's warmth may make you feel good but it's ultraviolet rays over time cause at best, dry wrinkly skin and at worst, skin cancer. Don't step out without loading on that sunscreen. In the summers, avoid stepping out between 12:00 to 2:00 when the sun is at its peak.

10. Water, Water Everywhere

You can never drink too much water. It flushes out your toxins and is great for the skin, liver and just about every conceivable body organ! It keeps you cool and feeling fresh, reduces dehydration and rejuvenates your body cells. Drink at least ten glasses of water in a day. Bottoms up!

Q: First, grow them out. They may grow out in an unruly fashion. You can then decide how thick you want them to be, and thread out the extra bits. Shaving will definitely thicken the hair - but unless you shave your entire brow, shaving just excess growth will not help.

Tori ()

A: My eyebrows are really thin, I think that waxing may be causing them to thin even more. I want a thick and long eyebrow look without using a pencil or doing anything permanent. I am letting them grow out before I get anything done again. I don't want to do anything that decreases hair growth. Should I get them razored or can I thread? Thank you.
