From the Paper
"The rotator cuff is an integral musculotendinous component of the human shoulder complex. Although it serves a variety of functions, its most important one perhaps is to control the head of the humerus. The two major subgroups of rotator cuff injuries, impingement injuries and avulsive tears, result from compressive and tensile forces, respectively. In addition, either of these two conditions may be seen in association with calcifying tendonitis. The treatment of rotator cuff lesions typically emphasizes conservative measures. These may often consist merely of active rest and specific strengthening exercises. For patients who remain refractory to such therapy, however, arthroscopy or other surgical interventions may be necessary. "

From the Paper
"The effect of the new technology on the labor force also takes some time to be noticed. This lag in the adaptation of a new technology and the length of the lag between the adaptation and its initial introduction into the company is always critical for any new invention. Thomas Jefferson never failed to state the role of science and technology in producing social change and economic growth. He said, "As new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must also advance to keep pace with the times." Organizations are spending a lot of time and money in ensuring that the workplace is safe. Advancement in fire fighting technology, better information and knowledge dispersion, setting up of checks and balances through the effective use of software is also increasingly being observed."

Abstract
This paper analyzes injuries in basketball. It reviews the literature with regard to the types of injuries that can be expected in basketball and how they can be prevented. The paper suggests that strength training is essential in the prevention of injuries and explains why this is so. The paper also explains why the focus of strength training is leaning towards the entire athlete for injury prevention.
From the Paper
"The future of strength training in realtion to basketball appears to be leaning toward a focus on the entire athlete. It has always been known that football players, for example, require massive strength in order to be capable of defending themselves against physical contact on the football field. However, as basketball players in crease in size and ability, the physical contact that occurs in basketball continues to be more intense. Therefore, basketball players must be stronger and more in tone that ever before in order to meet the demands of the game. Professionals have also concluded that there may be a need to use strength training to build up limbs to an eqaul strength, as some parts of the body are toned more than others due to use. Yet, the focus on strength training to prevent injury is the key to the future of this type of exercise because of the increaed demands on players and the need for players to be capable of functioning at the optimum playing levels."

"The knee joint is one of the most complicated and critical joints of the human body. The knee has to bear the entire body weight, shift balance and adjust direction of movement all smoothly and in efficient coordination. It is not surprising that injuries occur to this particular joint. The primary elements of the knee include the large bone structures: the femur, patella, tibia, and the fibula. What moves the bones of course are the muscles: flexors (biceps femoris, semimembraneous, semitendinous, sartorius, gracilis and extensors quadriceps and patellar. Now, within those larger structures are smaller but nonetheless critical components: the various ligaments which stabilize the bones and muscles such as the medial and lateral Collateral Ligaments and the Anterior and Posterior Cruciate Ligaments usually termed ACL and PCL."

Central to this field is the concept of early intervention and a focus on psychosocial issues known to occur in tandem with physical injuries. Consequently, professionals working in the field must acquire a thorough understanding of various injuries and illnesses leading to disability as well as the specific interventions."

Abstract
This paper discusses some important issues in connection with workplace fatalities and occupational injuries. Tens of hundreds of employees expose themselves to serious health and safety risks as they work in unsafe conditions in country?s various industries. In such cases, companies are required to pay compensation to employees who get injured at work but in more serious cases, employers can be charged with murder if it is found that a certain worker?s death occurred due to management?s negligence and inability to comply by OSHA guidelines.
From the Paper
"Business ethics have become a major issue of debate in American corporate world because it has been found that in several cases, occupational injuries occur not due to the negligence of the employees but more because of the inappropriate safety measures. This is one reason why many people are of the view that death due to workplace injuries should be termed homicide and employers must be charged with murder. While not every person would agree with that, at least those in the legal profession maintain that employers can be charged with murder if available evidence suggests that the reason behind death of an employee was unsafe working environment."

Abstract
The paper presents several rationales behind the increase in ACL injuries among female athletes, including an anatomical explanation. The author differentiates between male and female knee construction, and discusses the increased demand placed on this joint by increasingly competitive female sports.
From the Paper
"There has been a tremendous increase in the number of female athletes in the past generation. Undoubtedly because of the rise in feminism and the consequent rise in consciousness of equality across the board in our culture there has been a simultaneous increase in the number of athletic programs, clinics, sports per se for all categories and at all levels of physical skill. As female athletes have gained a foothold in the world of sports and athletics generally, not surprisingly the female athlete is also experiencing an increase in injuries related to sports events. This is not simply a matter of more injuries per se as the female population increases; it reflects a rise in the injury because of the very nature of the female anatomy."

Injuries of the Lower Extremities in the Military, 2002.

Abstract
This paper looks at the rigorous training that male and female soldiers go through, and the affect it has on their bodies. The different types of injuries are presented, and then reviewed and analyzed. The author presents solutions to some of the more common types of injuries, and suggests ways to avoid these types of injuries in the future.
From the paper:
"Based on research, the clear anatomical differences, i.e. height, weight, and build between males and females lead to problems concerning uniformity that is stressed in the military. For instance, the 30-inch step prescribed by the military in marching is a prime example. Marching is based on male height and average 30-inch step, but for a woman?s shorter height and leg length, it is an over exaggerated step. For a woman to accomplish a greater push off is necessary, as well as a harder heel strike. Furthermore, the uniformity of equipment poses a problem for female soldiers. For instance, ?Women?s boots use the same last as men?s boots and are less likely to provide good heel stability for women."

Abstract
This paper defined traumatic brain injury and explains that it can occur in two ways - closed head injury and penetrating head injury. The paper then looks at the kind of damage these injuries could cause and how they could affect a person's daily functioning. It then shows how, often, serious criminals suffered a serious head wound in their earlier life which causes the brain to have minimalized moral judgement.
From the Paper
"What do P?le, Steve Young, Bobby Joe Long and Timothy McVeigh have in common? At one point or another, all have suffered traumatic brain injuries. P?le?s injuries were from a soccer ball and Steve Young?s injuries were from repeatedly being sacked; both were expected as professional athletes; however, Bobby Joe suffered from many serious head injuries starting from childhood but culminating with a life-threatening motorcycle accident that left him in a coma for many days. Timothy McVeigh also ?sustained three mild head injuries during his youth.? "

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the physiological effects of participation by young people in organized athletics. The focus of the report will be directed primarily to analyzing and comparing the dangers of football and soccer, two of the most popular sports in the grade and high schools.
njuries incurred on the field of play have been common since the ancient Greeks refined the art of athletic contests and competition. Today the problem of physical impairment from athletics has taken on a new, much more formidable dimension in the United States because of the tremendous growth of participatory sports. The availability of equipment, facilities, and organization--there are now thousands of scholastic and community-run leagues--as well as the compulsion to keep the body ... "
