Discussion:
Joints and Homeostatic Imbalances
I need some help in these questions on joints, their movements and some of the homeostatic imbalances in diseases:
1. Identify a homeostatic imbalance (disease) of a joint or joints;
2. Describe the joint by its structural and functional classification;
3. Describe the type of movement that joint or joints exhibit;
4. Describe the symptoms of that disease;
5. Using Google (not Google Scholar), describe content from a source or sources claiming a treatment for which there exists little or no evidence or scientific plausibility for its efficacy. Describe what makes the treatment questionable.; and,
6. Using Google Scholar, describe content from a source or sources claiming an evidence-based treatment for which there is scientific support for its efficacy. Describe what makes the treatment reliable.
7. The point of this discussion is for you to describe a joint or joints using the proper functional and structural terms, and describe, using the proper terms, the movements those joints are capable of, and to precisely describe a homeostatic disease involving the joint or joints. Another point of this discussion is to show how unreliable Google is for finding reliable, evidence-based treatments. Find an obviously phony treatment, describe it, and tell us what little evidence there is in support of it. Then, find a treatment described in a peer-review journal using Google Scholar, describe it, and tell us the evidence there is in support of it. Sometimes the evidence against a treatment found on Google is a peer-review paper found on Google Scholar.
