What way is the knee joint poorly protected and thus especially vulnerable to injuries?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The knee is made up of connective tissues and the end of long bones. The ligaments and tendons that connect to the knee are not protected by any muscles. Simply twisting the knee in an unusual direction can cause any of those tendons and ligaments to tear. Too much of one activity may also cause injury to the knee. In addition to unusual movements, the knee can be injured by a direct blow. The is common in contact sports such as football. If a player is tackled from the outside, the inside ligament can easily be torn because it is not protected.

What are the elements at risk during an earthquake?
<http://saarc-sdmc.nic.in/pdf/Earthquake4.pdf> "*Factors contributing to vulnerability and elements of risk* Several key factors contribute to vulnerability of human populations: • Location of settlements in seismic areas, especially on poorly consolidated soils, on ground prone to landslides or along fault lines. • Building structures, such as homes, bridges, dams, which are not resistant to ground motion. Unreinforced masonry buildings with heavy roofs are more vulnerable than lightweight wood framed structures. Dense groupings of buildings with high occupancy. • Lack of access to information about earthquake risks."

Why are sprains and cartilage injuries a particular problem?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
Is there any hacks for the iPad?
