leg injuries and disorders  

Définition

  • Because the legs bear the entire weight of the body, their bones, blood vessels, muscles, and ligaments are often prone to injuries such as sprains, strains, tears, dislocations, and fractures and to a number of disorders that may be present at birth or which develop over time. Disorders, such as hemiplegia, diplegia, and quadriplegia, may be either congenital, or they may result from diseases or accidents.
