Extension

Mrs Ogle’s gait pattern is most affected during stance phase. She has a lack of dorsiflexion of her left ankle throughout and increased left knee flexion during most of the stance phases. She has an overall decreased step length which is greatest on her left. Her left heel does not make contact with the floor. These observed deviations indicate that Mrs Ogle has a lack of left dorsiflexion range at her ankle. 1.0 Stance phase 1.1 Initial contact to loading response Mrs Ogle’s heel should be the…

lata (the iliotibial tract). Fascia lata later inserts laterally at the tibia and fibula. Thus, gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata aid in providing lateral stability to the knee. The action of gluteus maximus muscle is with the pelvis fixed, extension and lateral rotation of the femur and with the femur fixed it will extend the pelvis on hip. It mainly extends the flexed thigh at the hip joint. It is insertion into the iliotibial tract, it also stabilizes the knee and…

The launching position consists of the following movements: The abduction of the shoulders and the arms, the backward rotation of the spine, the extension of the writs, and the flexion of the hips (Van Such, 2016). For a right handed batter, the left shoulder joint will be adducted toward the body. The right shoulder joint will be flexed with the elbow up in the air and the scapula is abducting.…

of the ground. The muscles being used to cause extension of the hip and knee are the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and the vastus medialis. The hamstring muscles (semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris) and the popliteus muscle help in the flexion of the hip. The gluteus Maximus, gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus muscles also aides in the movement phase causing a concentric contraction in this phase and extension of the hips. The muscles in the wrist,…

takeoff. This leg will also reach full extension prior to the other leg, this means that it will contribute more force to the jump than the other as the bioanalysis will show. As well as the legs extending and muscles and joints flexing the torso will also extent to maximize the force able to be produced by the takeoff. According to () “The timing of the joint movements during the takeoff consists of shoulder flexion, trunk extension, and hip and knee extension, with the final movement to…

those goals. In addition, there are no reports from PT evaluation available for review. Number of sessions of PT completed to date in not clear from the progress notes. Furthermore, on exam there was increased ROM of the lumbar spine on flexion and extension. There was minimal spasms and tenderness noted over the lumbar spine. Improved ROM was noted on dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the right ankle. Recommend…

The deadlift is one of the best compound movements used to strengthen leg, hip, back, and torso muscles. There are several variations of the deadlift, which are often utilized depending on the goals, needs, and abilities of the individual. This brief review will explore the different variations of the deadlift other than the standard conventional and sumo stance deadlift. The main variations used by powerlifters and regular gym goers are the conventional and sumo stance deadlifts. The main…

Consider the arm. The biceps and the triceps are on two sides of the upper arm bone (humerus) and attach to the fore arm bones (radius and ulna) from the inside and outside of the elbow joint. Contraction of the bicep causes your arm to fold. Contraction of the triceps causes your arm to extend , your biceps muscle is attached to your shoulder blade at one end and to your ulna in your forearm at the other end. When the biceps contracts, it shortens and pulls the ulna toward the shoulder blade…

Electrical stimulation: Eight self-adhesive 7x13 cm oval carbon electrodes were adhered to the skin over the quadriceps and hamstring muscles (four electrodes per leg). These muscles were selected because of their ease of access, clinical importance, and large size, which we reasoned would yield the greatest potential for altering energy expenditure. The distal margin of the distal quadriceps electrode was placed over the distal-most palpable border of the vastus lateralis. The proximal…

Copra Pose: Extension of the Lumbar Spine: Also seen in Bridge Pose and Wheel Pose, Bow Pose, Pigeon Pose and Camel Pose. The degree of back bend will depend on the amount of space between each vertebra of the lumbar spine. The greater the space the greater the degree of back bend. Also the shape of the vertebra also plays a factor as some of the spinous process’ can be bent in angles that either restrict the angle of lumbar curve or increase it. There are other skeletal differences…
