PLay Safe!!!











                                                                     A knee guard provides compression and does not provide any additional stability. It can provide mild pain relief in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, especially on climbing stairs. However, knee guards do not really prevent injuries in contact sports and do not work well in patients with advance arthritis of the knee.
Braces and guards do help in milder cases of wear and tear. However, when the wear and tear becomes severe, then it is known as osteoarthritis. In such cases, these aids do not work very well.

Dr Lee was awarded both the Singapore Orthopaedic Association Young Investigator Award and N Balachandran Award in 2005 and is the Principal Investigator for several active grants involving cartilage repair, stem cells, biomaterials and joint replacements.




Jersey As A Uniform


Fashion is a huge part of basketball. We always see players show up to games and press conferences dressed up in strange outfits that oddly work for whomever is wearing them. From Russell Westbrook’s patterned shirts that look like your grandma’s kitchen wallpaper to the hats that James Harden and Carmelo Anthony wear, NBA fashion is unique, to say the least.
But just as fashion and basketball go hand-in-hand, basketball fashion is something that has changed over the years on the court and continues to be a feature that fans actively watch change. Not everyone in the history of the NBA has gone through radical uniform changes, but there have been plenty of gimmicky moves made by clubs that have changed the way a team looks on the court.
Teams like Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago have largely remained the same over the years, while franchises like Atlanta, Denver and Phoenix have gone through dramatic changes that have alternated logo placement, color schemes and sometimes been offensive to every human sense we have.
But, when done right, a uniform can be more than just what you wear on the court — it can define an era in your franchise’s history.
Throughout the history of basketball, there have been teams who have rocked iconic looks at certain points in their history. In this post we look back at the best of the best to determine which uniforms are the greatest of all-time.

Protect Your Ankle With A Guard





An ankle brace is a garment that is worn around the ankle to protect it or for immobilization while allowing it to heal.  Ankle braces are used to immobilize the joint while providing heat and compression to the bones. They are common in injury rehabilitation processes that affect the ankle, being made of rigid fabric such nylon and neoprene that allow limited mobility of the foot and conform to the ankle by a hook and loop fastener. To ensure its fixation, the foot portion may include metal pieces. In severe cases, they incorporate metallic plates to better immobilize the joint.

Slam Dunk



slam dunk, also dunk or dunk shot, is a type of basketball shot that is performed when a player jumps in the air, controls the ball(s) above the horizontal plane of the rim, and score by putting the ball directly through the basket with one or both hands.

A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field goal scores three points for the shooting team if the player shoots from behind the three-point line, and two points if shot from in front of the line. A team can also score via free throws, which are worth one point, after the other team was assessed with certain fouls. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) is issued when the score is tied at the end of regulation. The ball can be advanced on the court by throwing it to a teammate, or by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling). It is a violation to lift, or drag, one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling.

There are many techniques for ball handling—shooting, passing, dribbling, and rebounding. Basketball teams generally have player positions, the tallest and strongest members of a team are called a center or power forward, while slightly shorter and more agile players are called small forward, and the shortest players or those who possess the best ball handling skills are called a point guard or shooting guard. The point guard directs the on court action of the team, implementing the coach's game plan, and managing the execution of offensive and defensive plays (player positioning).
