Kuenze, Christopher, Jay Hertel, Arthur Weltman, David R. Diduch, Susan Saliba, and Joseph M. Hart. "Jogging Biomechanics after Exercise in Individuals with ACL-Reconstructed Knees." Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise 46.6 (2014): 1067-076. Web. Monday Apr. 2016. The purpose of this assignment was to find a biomechanically related research article that we find interesting and present a written summary of the article. I chose to read an article called “Jogging Biomechanics after Exercise in…
because the scapula is being pulled away from the midline of the body. The shoulders are not being rotated during the loading phase. During the loading phase the shoulders and arms are both being adducted. The primary muscle involved with the adduction of the shoulders and arms are the pectoralis major. The motion is also assisted by the Coracobrachialis, Latissimus…
(middle and lower trapezius)(45). In a study of muscle fatigue, Corben et al. recruited nineteen softball pitchers of an average age of 15.2, and demonstrated greatest degree of asymmetrical fatigue in elbow extension, forearm supination, and shoulder adduction in the throwing arm(45). Elbow flexion was also found to have a higher degree of fatigue, which corroborate with prior EMG findings that showed the biceps brachii muscle activity being twice as high in a windmill pitch as that during the…
adduction. Standing, where the fixed point is at the insertion on the femur, contraction will rotate the pelvis anteriorly[17]. 2.2.2 Psoas This muscle is only muscle group in human body with direct attachment to the spine, the pelvis and the femur. Therefore it has potential to influence, and influenced by movement at both of the spine and hip joints[18]. 2.2.3 Gluteal maximus muscle: superficial group The gluteus maximus muscle is the one of the largest muscle in the gluteal region and…
DOI: 6/18/2012. Patient is a 64-year-old female employee who sustained a work related injury when she got struck with a metal bar in the bathtub. Per OMNI, she suffered injuries to her forehead, neck, and shoulders. Per IME report dated 01/26/15 by Dr. Katz, patient’s diagnoses include resolving cervical spine sprain/strain, status post right shoulder arthroscopic surgery on 04/24/14 and left shoulder sprain/strain, resolved with MMI reached. It w as opined that the IW’s right shoulders and…
Jeanese Murdock Splint Wearing Reflection Paper Over a period of the first two days I wore my splint for six hours. First in the setting of driving and community mobility which was an hour. While at home I wore it for another 2 hours while doing ADLs and IADLs. Also, I participated in the leisure setting for 3 hours. I was only able to sleep in it for two hours. Saturday morning I wore the splint for three and a half hours deer hunting. I must say that the splint was comfortable, but it…
DOI: 01/30/2012. This is a 41-year-old right-hand dominant male meat cutter who sustained injuries to the left arm, hand, and fingers and bilateral elbows due to repetitive job duties. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with left shoulder impingement syndrome. As per medical report dated 2/22/16, patient complains of left shoulder pain with overhead use of the arm as well as when forward reaching, noting the moderate pain at the left elbow. Physical examination revealed moderate tenderness…
Mastication is an unconscious lateral and adduction motion that is organised by the motor program, which is then controlled by the central nervous system. (1) Nonetheless, the motions of swallowing and chewing can be adjusted, as the type of food that is being consumed (e.g. brittle, tough) solely contributes to it. (2) Furthermore, mastication constitutes the aid in the mechanical breakdown of food into minor particles, then movements in teeth, digestive enzymes and four bilateral muscles…
coordination were also decreased. Range of motion of all joints appeared to be normal. Muscle grade (MMT) was 2/5 in wrist extension and flexion on the involved side, ulnar grasp 0/5, and radial grasp 0/5. Shoulder flexion and extension is 2+/5, Shoulder adduction and abduction 2+/5, elbow flexion and extension 2-/5. He walks independently with assistance of a walker. Robert express that his principal goal is to be able to take care of personal hygiene needs independently. He also wanted to…
are all located in the anterior plane of the forearm (Tortora & Nielsen, 2015). All three muscles primary function is flexion, as well as abduction, and adduction of the wrist joint. The muscles located in the back region that benefit are the rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, latissimus dorsi, and the teres major. The rhomboids functions are adduction, rotation, and stabilization of the scapula, which help in slamming objects to the ground (Tortora & Nielsen, 2015). The latissimus dorsi is the…
