The insertion is at the lesser trochanter. The illiacus origin is the iliac fossa and the insertion is at the lesser trochanter. These muscles flex the trunk toward the thigh. The muscles that are relaxed during the movement of the trunk flexion are longissimus, illiocostalis, multifidi, rotatores, semispinalis capitis, spinalis, interspinalis, and intertransversarii. Multifidi, rotatores, semispinalis capitis, interspinalis, and intertransversarii were mentioned earlier in this analysis.…
will be seated in a chair at the table with the therapist sitting on her left side. Before beginning the activity, the therapist will provide a hand exercise program for M.B. to work on her both hands’ pinch strength to be able to pinch and hold the materials for the activity. M.B. will be asked to touch the tip of her left hand’s each finger to the thumb of the same hand and hold for 5 seconds. Once each finger has been touched, M.B. will rest for 30 seconds and do it with the right hand. M.B. will do this exercise on her own five times a week and with the therapist on the day of visits.…

The most common bone tumors of the foot and ankle are osseous and cartilaginous lesions, including enchondromas, osteochondromas, and chondromyxoid fibromas [1]. Giant cell tumors (GCT), chondroblastomas, osteoid osteomas, and osteoblastomas also occur. Non-neoplastic conditions include intraosseous lipomas, simple (unicameral) bone cysts, and aneurysmal bone cysts [2]. GCT, also known as osteoclastomas, are fairly common bone tumors, accounting for 5% of all primary bone tumors. They are benign tumors with a tendency for local aggressiveness and high rates of recurrence.…
HSC Assessment Task 1: Recovery Strategies - Thea Djukic (PDHPE 01) Recovery Strategies The aim is to certify that athletes are suitable to recommence back to previous or normal training and competitions. Many athletes tend to limit the use of recovery strategies at times when they are ill or injured. Recovery strategies have many advantages and benefits towards an athlete’s performance which aid with rehabilitation or recuperation.…
Reflexology is an alternative medicine that is based on the theory that there are small areas of innervation in the feet that correspond to the organs and muscles in the body. The foot is a map of nerve endings, according to the theories in reflexology, that come from all over the body. For example, the lungs have nerve endings in the ball of the foot. Massaging the ball of the foot can help the lungs to function better. Likewise, massaging and applying pressure to the different parts of the foot can bring relief to ailments felt in the corresponding area of the body, relieve tension, improve circulation and reduce stress.…
Patellar reflex involves peripheral muscle reflexes, which is a brief stimulation to the muscle spindle that results in contraction of the effector muscle. Reflex actions can occur without having to pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. When the patellar is tapped below the knee, the tap initiates an action potential in the muscle spindle within the quadriceps. This action potential travels to the spinal cord onto a motor nerve. The result of this motor nerve activity is contraction of the quadriceps muscle, resulting in a knee jerk.…
1. Flexor carpi ulnaris a. The flexor carpi ulnaris originates on the humeral medial epicondyle/ the ulnar olecranon process, and inserts onto the pisiform, hamate, and 5th metacarpal (Starkey, Brown, Ryan, 2011). a. Its main functions are wrist flexion and ulnar deviation (Starkey, et al., 2011).…
Two joint range of motion (ROM) of two patients, one in upper limb and one in lower limb, are measured and the data is recorded. The first ROM measured is the angle made between shank and posterior thigh, which is the angle for knee extension. The relative position of the patient and the therapist are standardized with patient sitting over the edge of the bed, keeping the trunk straight, while the therapist standing on knees close the side of legs being measured. Moving and stationary body segment are respectively defined by identifying relevant bony landmarks for standardization.…
The dual process theory of habituation was studied by Thompson and his colleagues in which spinal reflex was studied. They studied the overt behaviors and the nervous system reactions. As this study continued to go on the organism was not being habituated to the repeated stimulation which turned out to be sensitization. In the study of spinal reflex, it is said that there are 2 types of neurons that react to stimuli.…
Foot binding first became popular during the Song Dynasty in China. It is thought to have originated Emperor Li Yu asked his concubine, Yao Niang to bind her feet and perform a ballet dance for him. The bound feet were to represent the lotus flower. Niang was so graceful on her feet during this dance that people wished to imitate the bound feet in order to be as graceful and as beautiful.…
The reflexologist should work on all the reflexes of the foot areas because it gives the best results of the treatment to your client, give attention to one foot then do the other foot equal attention to both (stimulate every gland) the foot reflexes will benefit the body organ, nerve center oxygenated and nutrients carried to the blood to circulate through the body (flow within the…
With Halloween approaching, there has been an overwhelming presence of Halloween skeletons. Unlike many other fantasy Halloween creatures, the skeleton is real and often poorly depicted as a Halloween decoration. The bones in a real skeleton function as support, protection, movement, storage, and blood cell formation. This skeleton in particular is anatomically incorrect and would therefore function poorly.…
Some of the most seen actions include: elbow extension and flexion, knee flexion and extension, shoulder rotation, ankle plantar and dorsiflexion, head rotation, wrist flexion and extension and hip flexion and extension. Some of the major movements that contribute to these joint actions and its related exercises are listed below. In performing…
