| EFFUSION | AN INCREASED VOLUME OF FLUID WITHIN A JOINT CAPSULE |
| GENU VALGUM | A CONDITION WHERE THE KNEES TOUCH WHILE STANDING WITH FEET SEPERATED. IT WILL INCREASE COMPRESSION OF THE LATERAL CONDYLE AND INCREASE STRESS TO THE MEDIAL STRUCTURES. TERMED KNOCK KNEE |
| GENU VARUM | A CONDITION WHERE THERE IS BOWING OF THE LEGS WITH ADDED SPACE BETWEEN THE KNEES WHILE STANDING WITH FEET TOGETHER. GENU VERUM WILL INCREASE COMPRESSION OF THE MEDIAL TIBIAL CONDYLE AND INCREASE STRESS TO THE LATERAL STRUCTURES. BOW LEG |

| STRAIN | AN INJURY INVOLVING THE MUSCULOTENDINOUS UNIT THAT INVOLVES A MUSCLE, TENDON OR THEIR ATTACHMENTS TO BONE |
| STRAIN GRADE 1 | LOCALIZED PAIN, MIN SWELLING AND TENDERNESS |
| SPRAIN GRADE 2 | LOCALIZED PAIN, MOD SWELLING AND TENDERNESS, AND IMPAIRED MOTOR FUNCTION |
| SPRAIN GRADE 3 | A PALPABLE DEFECT OF THE MUSCLE, SEVERE PAIN, AND POOR MOTOR FUNCTION |
