INTRODUCTION

The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the ligaments of the knee which holds the bone of the knee. The ACL tear occurs mainly with the sound of pop and then the severe pain in the knee arises. After this, swelling of the knee starts, and because of the ligament tear and swelling, it becomes very difficult for the person to straighten the knee.

In Ayurveda, ACL tears are managed under the category of Sandhigatavata. Janu Basti is given to the patient followed by various herbal remedies which help to improve this condition.

CAUSES OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY

Generally, ACL tear occurs in those people who are more active in sports like soccer, basketball, etc. When an ACL is injured it can be a partial injury or it can be a full tear. When the full tear happens the ligament is divided into two pieces. The causes of ACL tear are described below

  • When you are in a resting position and you suddenly make movements like jump or turn.
  • If your body is in motion and you suddenly stop or tend to change your direction.
  • If you extremely distend your knee joint.
  • ACL can also occur in case of any trauma to the knee.
  • If you are not landing in a proper position after a jump.
  • If you are giving regular strain on the knee then the ligament loses its elasticity and may tear.

ACL tear directly affects the knee and can create problems in the movement such as walking, jumping, etc. if neglected. Here are some of the complications which may arise due to ACL tear

  • It may directly affect the motion of your leg and the range becomes limited.

ABSTRACT

The antibodies which are proteins that circulate in the bloodstream and a source of the body’s immune system target the MOG found on the outer surface of the ‘Myelin’(fatty proteins which protect nerve cells) of our central nervous system and causes inflammation in the optic nerves of the brain. According to the study, MOG Antibody Disease can affect individuals of all ages. It usually starts during the early- to mid-30s.

Myelin Oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is a protein found on the surface or the outer layer of myelin sheaths of the central nervous system. The antibodies of MOG damage these protein layers and targets the immunity response hence affect the normal functioning of the central nervous system. The patient with MOG antibody disease suffers from inflammation of the optic nerve, spinal cord and the brain.
