  • Even the mildest stress foot or ankle fracture is unpleasant - an irritating source of pain that will have you moving gingerly and avoiding physical activity for a few weeks so that the injury doesn't get worse. (yourfootdoc.com)
  • Prolonged stress beyond what your body can handle often leads to stress fractures, especially in the load-bearing bones of your feet and legs. (yourfootdoc.com)
  • While exercise is good, a sudden increase in the intensity of activity can greatly increase your risk of fractures - especially stress fractures. (yourfootdoc.com)

  • Stress fractures in the elbows are common for typists, chefs, line workers, and active sports players. (opaortho.com)
  • This may be particularly true during crack growth in laboratory size specimens where crack growth seldom reaches steady state conditions due to the persistence of the initiation transients and the influence of reflected stress waves from the specimen boundaries. (caltech.edu)
