Duchenne muscular dystrophy

The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor scale The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale (numbering 0–21) is a point scale used in the analyzation of the activity of the limb joints of animals. Its locomotion rate is based on various aspects of the hind limb function like the weight support and toe clearance, just to mention a few [37]. All results were obtained at time points of 2 weeks to 8 weeks post-operation along with the blinded examination that was executed by two scorers.…

MEDICAL TERMINOLOGICAL 1. BLADDER CALCULUS – Bladder Calculus is also known as bladder stone and are caused due to building up of minerals in the body. 2. DIFFICULTY IN MICTURITION – Difficulty in micturition is known as difficulty in the discharge of the urine from the bladder. 3. TURD – Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate is a surgery used to treat urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate. 4. BNR – Bladder Neck Reconstruction 5. LSCS – Lower Segment Caesarean section is also called…

How big are your spiritual muscles? Every body builder knows there are just three primary exercises to gain size and strength. Squat, dead lift and bench press. Do these three consistently and you'll gain size and strength. Building a relationship with God is much the same. There are really just three major components to building a relationship with God: Prayer, Bible study and Church. #1- Prayer... Prayer is communication with God. Every relationship is built on communication. When…

Importance of Testosterone The body of men comprises of stronger muscle mass and bones. This is because the level of Testosterone is properly sustained which is responsible for the absorption of many nutrients into muscles. For those who don’t know about it, Testosterone is an androgenic hormone produced in male’s body which is also a key precursor of masculine traits. The hormone defines male’s characteristic and also serve various functions inside the body. Testosterone optimal secretion…

Muscular system: Major functions The muscular system function is that it allows movement of body parts, and works with skeletal system to help us move. Major muscles types : There are many muscles in the muscular system. Some are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. The skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle can stretch and contract, but they complete different functions. The skeletal muscle is attached to your skeleton by strong, springy tendons or is directly connected to rough…

The effect of Tubocurare was quickly seen on Figure 3 along the raw data. A sharp fall in tension was correlated with the injection of the Tubocurare. The data represents the moment the injection stopped, and the first two minutes saw the greatest decrease. The muscle tension average was 21.43 grams during the first 15 seconds once the injection stopped. Although the preconceived expectations before starting the experiment involved a sharper decline of muscle tension that fall between 5 to 0…

1. The major surface muscles include the following: Trapezius, Deltoids, latissimus dorsi, Pectoralis major, Biceps, Triceps, Rectus femoris, bicep femoris, semitendinosus, Gluteus muscles, abdominals, Lateral Gastrocnemius, serratus dorsi, external oblique, and soleus. Trapezius- Origin: Upper: Base of skull, Occipital protuberance and posterior ligaments of neck. Middle: spinous process of 7C and T1-T3 Lower: Spinous process of T4-T12 Insertion: Upper: Posterior aspect of the lateral…

Muscles and connective tissues shorten over time and that results in less flexibility. If your muscles have gone some time without being used, they tend to become weaker and quite stiff. The risk of injury is greatly increased when you start to use those muscles suddenly. If you are doing regular stretching exercises to lengthen and strengthen your muscles, injury can be easily avoided. A pulling sensation is normal while you're doing stretching exercises. It can be mildly uncomfortable but if…

During this experiment I will be looking at how pressure and force cause tension and compression on your toes (Pointe Shoe Physics, Concussion) . When you go on pointe you compress your toes into this shoe which you only stand on your toes. This causes all your weight to be all your toes. (Danielle Spector, The Pressure Pointe) My purpose is to determine how much pressure is put on toes while on pointe in different positions. Weight is the amount of force you put on something or someone. When…

Paralysis is a condition linked with the inability to move and involves loss of muscle function. It can occur due to many different reasons such as illness, poison or trauma. Flaccid paralysis and spastic paralysis are two conditions that are considered different forms of paralysis. It can be accompanied with sensory loss as well as loss of feeling. Flaccid paralysis is the loss of muscle tone. It gives rise to limp and floppy muscles that lack firmness due to loss of activity in these muscles.…
