Flexion

contracted, sensory neurons receive the information. The way a muscle receives a message is through myotomes. In the squat, many myotomes are activated to deliver the specific messages to the muscles. For instance, the flexion of the hip is controlled primarily by the myotomes L1 and L2. Knee flexion is controlled by L5 to S2 and knee extension by L3 and L4. The nerves in the lower limb associated with the squat are the femoral nerve, superior and inferior gluteal nerves, tibial nerve and the…

DOI: 11/8/2014. Patient is a 61-year-old female care taker who sustained a work-related injury while she was turning a patient and felt that her back popped. Per OMNI, she was diagnosed with severe stenosis secondary to disc protrusion and facet cyst. She is status post laminectomy on 05/27. Based on the progress report dated 07/05/16, the patient is scheduled for a 3-level global fusion on 07/22/16 and 07/25/16. She reports that her back pain is rated as 7 /10. Yesterday was worse. The pain…

It presents as a symmetrical sudden flexion, extension or mixed flexion-extension of neck, arms, legs and trunk. Majority of infants have some sort of brain disorder prior to the onset of the seizures. An Absence (petit mal) seizure involves brief, sudden cessation of attention with abrupt onset and offset…

muscles and facets L5 through S1. Range of motion is diminished in both flexion and extension. She has pain with both. Sensation is decreased in the anterior right foot. Reflexes of the patella are trace. Achilles are 1 +. Straight leg raising is positive bilaterally, worse on the left causing pain down the posterior thighs. Patrick's causes low back pain. Strength of bilateral hip flexors and bilateral knee extension/flexion is 5-/5. Patient has bilateral varicosities on her extremities.…

A distal transhumeral amputation typically occurs above the elbow. Cheesborough et al. suggest preserving the humerus bone segment at an approximate length of 6 to 8 cm. In addition to the length they recommend fixating the humerus at a 70 degree angle with a metal plate to give the arm rotational and leverage control when using a prosthetic arm (Cheesborough et al.,2015). In addition the shape and length of the residual humerus bone allows for increased suspension of a prosthetic arm (Tintle…

DOI: 5/16/2016. Patient is a 45-year-old male laborer who sustained a work-related injury to his head and neck when a concrete form panel fell while he was carrying it. As per OMNI notes, patient was initially diagnosed with neck sprain. CT scan of the cervical spine without contrast performed on 5/16/2016 revealed unremarkable results. MRI of the cervical spine dated 06/26/16 showed the following: central herniation at C2-3 with inferior extrusion, impinging upon cord, age…

The popliteus muscle and its proximal attachments: Morphological variations, functions, and clinical implications Overview: The popliteus muscle (PM) is one of the deep posterior compartment musculature of the leg and the posterolateral structure of the knee, locates in the superior aspect of the leg and consists part of the popliteal fossa’s floor my book and Ullrich (2002). It is small, flat and triangular in shape, attaches distally on the posteriomedial aspect of the tibia superior to the…

pressure continues, there will be decreased sensation in the arm, paleness of the skin, and weakness in the forearm. Some signs of Volkmann’s in the arm are an appearance that is characterized by a fixed position of elbow flexion, forearm pronation, wrist flexion, MP extension, IP flexion, and thumb adduction. Many patients have sensory deficits, motor weakness and/or paralysis, an absence of radial and ulnar pulses at the wrist, and severe palsy in the distribution of the median nerve and…

creates our skin tone (Picture of the Skin). The supraspinous and interspinous ligaments connect and pass between vertebral spinous processes to support the head and resist flexion (Drake 42). The ligamentum flavum consists of elastic tissue and form part of the vertebral canal and aids in resisting separation of the laminae in flexion and assist in extension (Drake 42). The epidural space is between the vertebral wall and dura mater and contains fat and blood vessels. The dura mater is the…
