Extensor digitorum muscle

elbow. Frequently seen in sports that require a repetitive motion of forearm flexion and extension, such as tennis, pitching, golf, javelin throwing, and fencing, the muscles that are typically involved, but are not limited to, include the extensor muscles.(1) This muscle group encompasses the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the extensor digitorum communis laterally. In addition,but not as prevalent with athletic injuries regarding the forearm complex, the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis medially, and the posterior triceps are also involved in this tendinopathy.(5) Approximately 1 to 3 percent…

grip strength (p. 331). Because of this, individuals are unable to participate in their daily activities and occupations which require their hand, wrist, or forearm. If an individual performs forearm rotation following an injury, they will likely feel a popping or clicking sensation in the area. This sensation could be due to the lack of stability, or an impingement in the area. As the TFCC is an area located in the ulnar side of the wrist, there are a number of muscles around it. Domire,…

are wrist flexion and ulnar deviation (Starkey, et al., 2011). 2. Flexor digitorum profundus a. The flexor digitorum profundus originates on the proximal portion of the ulna near the interosseous membrane, and inserts onto the base of the phalanges (II-V) (Starkey, et al., 2011). b. Its main functions are DIP, PIP, and wrist flexion (Starkey, et al., 2011). 3. Flexor digitorum superficialis a. The flexor digitorum superficialis originates on the humeral medial epicondyle, coronoid process of the…

al 2012). Pain and discomfort is felt in the area located over the lateral epicondyle, the origin for all of the extensors in the forearm (Jariwala A. et al 2012). Lateral epicondylitis affects the tendinous tissue of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus as well as the extensor muscles;…

than the heel when the foot is in this position. As a result of injury or scar tissue that can build up along the fascia of overused muscles, a loss of range of motion within the foot is often seen amongst many patients. This often leads to inefficient and compromised movement in both the foot and lower leg area. All too often these symptoms are not treated until they have developed into the form of debilitating conditions. (www.tptherapy.wordpress.com 29.05.16). The primary muscles involved…

is parallel with the body. "At the point when a parallel muscle contracts, it abbreviates and gets bigger in measurement". Extensor digitorum-a lower arm muscle that develops the finger joints is uni-pennate. Flexor carpi Muscles-Allows the wrist to flex and snatch, it is a shaft muscle shape with a long ligament. Transversus abdominis-its umbrella molded and is for stance arrangement and is situated in the stomach. Rectus femoris-Is the muscle that enables the knee to augment. It is…

landing. The pole vaulters stance is the set up in preparation to begin accelerating towards the platform. The 40 meter dash while holding the large pole is a phase known as approach. The stance swing occurs during the pole plant which then leads to the jump and follow through. The jump follow through occurs when the pole vaulter lances themselves straight up in order to clear the bar. During the entire event the pole vaulters body is enticed in play by play action where every muscle takes…

The authors of this study examined the effects that Kinesio Tape (KT) application has on the balance ability of stroke patients with foot drop. Stroke patients experience a decrease in their balance due to the shifting of their body weight to their unaffected side. The ankle joint bears this unequal shifting while also providing proprioceptive information to the brain. Thus, interventions are needed in order to promote postural maintenance of the ankle. One of these interventions is Kinesio…

Introduction: The use of electromyography (EMG) to monitor muscle tissue from surface skin provides important information about the components of electrical activity—namely motor unit (MU) activation—during a muscle contraction (Cashaback, Cluff & Potvin, 2013). Observing electrical activity of a muscle with EMG is a user friendly and non-invasive tool researchers use when investigating muscle physiology (Camata et al., 2009). EMG is commonly used to correlate EMG signal with fatigue by…

in order to instruct a volleyball player on the correct qualitative and quantitative aspects of a serve. Particular movements for a volleyball serve, encompass both structural and mechanical fundamentals essential to the functionality of the movement. Using both kinesiology and biomechanical analysis, the volleyball serve may be better understood. When studying the specific anatomical features of a volleyball serve, the movements are most efficiently analyzed in smaller phases. Using kinesiology…
