Full Name: Michael Emil Frind
Home Address: 346 Marlowe Drive, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 5A4
Phone/fax: 519-885-4415
Education: B.Sc. University of Waterloo (Earth Science and Environmental/Water Resources Engineering), also Conestoga College, Environmental Engineering Applications post-degree program. In addition to all the environmental courses I have taken (not listed here), I have taken courses in health sciences, kinesiology, orthopedic biomechanics, orthotics and prosthetics, sports injuries, musculoskeletal anatomy, muscle physiology, and related topics.
Knee history (original injuries in 1997): Bilateral partial ACL/PCL injuries from several injury events. Both knees function normally and are stable, but the minor partial tearing has resulted in a lingering sensitivity to abnormal forcing (in particular hyperextension-type forcing). Two custom-made CTi2 braces prescribed and worn for knee-demanding activities.
Activities on Bob's ACL WWWBoard: My involvement with Bob's Board dates back to 1997, when I incurred my first knee injury. I found there was so much to learn by perusing previous postings and following the discussion threads. I enjoy contributing to the discussions on the human body's most-vulnerable-to-severe-injury joint. I like to give something back to a community that has helped me so much in the past. Additionally, I oversee the Knee Library (http://factotem.org/library), a continually growing resource which includes high-quality full-text, peer-reviewed medical-journal articles and other resources. I also consider the Knee Library as a convenient resource for discussions on the forum, and I like to make reference to the articles.
