Journal Of Musculoskeletal Research, 17(1), 1-10. doi:10.1142/S0218957714500018 (2014), Effects of adding Biofeedback training to active exercises after total knee arthroplasty. 2 The title is concise and clear. It addresses the effect of biofeedback training to active exercises after total knee arthroplasty to a particular group of people “ older adult in a…

DOI: 10/22/2014. Patient is a 32 -year-old male satellite radio technician who sustained a work-related injury when he fell asleep while on road and his truck drove off road and hit a tree. Per PT daily note dated 5/22/2015, patient feels more functional trunk mobility. Pain is primarily at the central aspect of the sternum, secondarily in the upper and middle thoracic spine. Pain is rated as 3/10 at the cervicothoracic spine at best and 8/10 at its worst. Patient demonstrated mild limitation…

Polyneuropathy commonly arises from diabetes, autoimmune diseases, toxins, and nutritional deficiency to secondary alcoholism. The pathophysiology’s associated with polyneuropathy are symmetrical involvement of multiple nerve fibers, which results in stocking/glove distribution of sensation. In addition, demyelination of distal part long axons because of the increase in myelin. Moreover, degeneration of the distal part of long axon because inadequate axonal transport to distal ends of axons.…

Bryan Vongkhamdy Articulation of Human Hands in Comparison to Bear Paws Chimpanzees, apes, and gorilla share a very similar anatomy but another mammal also shares a similar anatomy to humans as well. The bear in particular also shares a similar anatomy, specifically the paws of a bear when compared to a human’s hands. Even with similar anatomy, the bear is mostly a quadruped mammal, but is capable of bipedalism, while humans are bipedal mammals. In humans, the hand is meant for a variety of…

pressure, heart rate, skin temperature, and muscle tension. Electrodes are attached to the skin or in some cases held in the hand. It measures each body functions and displays them on a monitor. The following are examples of techniques used; Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback. This type gives you information about your body's muscle tension so that you can practice relaxation. Temperature (thermal) biofeedback. Sensors attached to your fingers or feet measure your skin temperature. Because…

reflexes, your muscle strength and tone, your ability to feel certain sensations, and your posture and coordination.- mayo clinicImaging tests. CT or MRI scans can look for herniated disks, tumors or other abnormalities. • Nerve function tests. Electromyography, a nerve function test, records electrical activity in your muscles to determine if your symptoms, including weakness, are caused by muscle or nerve…

Beginning with the “neuromuscular hypothesis”, which uses electromyography to show that when visualizing the movement, similar muscles are engaged when compared to the recordings of the physical performance of the movement. Next, the “brain activity hypothesis”, which states the brain activity shown during imagery of…

Explanation of EMG signals EMG stands for electromyography. Muscle fibres generate tiny electrical currents prior to the production of muscle force. These currents are generated by the exchange of ions across muscle fibres membranes, a part of the signalling process for the muscle fibres to contract. EMG is the signal made, it can be measured by applying conductive elements or electrodes to the skin surface, or invasively with the muscle. When using EMG, tiny devices named electrodes are used…

is taken care of properly Bell’s palsy could be diagnose by a Physician through physical examination to check for the facial muscles weakness, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT) scan to check for the facial nerves and Electromyography (EMG) to confirm the nerve’s damage and determine the severity, blood test are also required to check for the presence of an infection or diabetes. Conclusion: Bell’s palsy affect people of all ages and symptom could sometimes subside on…

Sitting, walking, standing and running are actions we take for granted. However, 1 in 6000 people are unable to perform these daily functions (Reference, Genetics). Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder affecting the motor neurons located in the spinal cord and brainstem responsible for muscular movement (Reference, Genetics). Genes accountable for the production of survival motor neurons (SMN) proteins, the SMN1 and SMN2, suffer mutations or deletions in their genes (Reference,…
