Clubfoot can be diagnosed from 18-20 weeks of gestation with the use of ultrasound, this however has an 80% accuracy, as the ultrasounds beam is not able to penetrate all the bones [5]. Dr Nanda Kumar research focuses on the 3 dimensional aspect of the foot's deformity, where the “relationship of the calcaneus to the talus is characterised by abnormal rotation in the sagittal, coronal and horizontal planes” [5]. A 3 Dimensional scanner has been designed to help determine the elasticity in tissue of the affected foot, a method of diagnostic which is much preferred as there is no need for sedation and lacks ionizing radiation from other diagnostic technologies that are available. Multiple images will be captured simultaneously then stitched

  • Personal Narrative- Soccer Injury

    I went into my junior spring soccer season kind of sad, my past coach, wasn't going to be our team coach this year. I wasn't really depressed though, because I had tons of friends that were playing this year. One of the great things about soccer is that it is not a school-sanctioned sport. To me this said that I was able to play another season of soccer with my friends from Paonia and Hotchkiss without the normal High School rivalry between these schools. Year after year, the schools pulled pranks on each other, sometimes nothing big, but sometimes something big. I remember my freshman or sophomore year, when a few guys I knew went over to Paonia and painted their skylight in their commons. When the sun shined into the skylight, it reflected a big HHS onto the floor, talk about a cool prank, but hey they got a free vacation but the school had to pay a ton of money to clean it up.

    In reviewing the case of New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. it is clear that there are a few major problems that the company is facing. First of all, New Balance falls behind its other major competitors, Nike, Adidas and Reebok, in the area of marketing. Unlike its competitors, New Balance does not undertake celebrity endorsements. This puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to brand building. This also causes the company to lose out somewhat on gaining awareness on a global scale as it lacks endorsements in major sporting events. Most global brand names generate strong brand recognition through celebrity endorsements in sporting events that would give them the needed momentum to carry their brand name further into the global market.
