Group Intervention Plan Outline: Group Title: Personal Pizza Therapy Author: Courtney Breban, OTAS, Daisy Hernandez, OTAS, Ryan James, OTAS, Sally Wells, OTAS and Ashlea Willis, OTAS Frame of Reference: The Model of Human Occupation frame of reference was chosen because of the emphasis on helping practitioners use meaningful activities therapeutically to support the client’s health and wellness. Due to the stressful nature of student occupation, students will miss meals, use poor kitchen…

(primarily responsible for movement). The antagonist in respect to the agonist counteracts. The antagonist helps allow the agonist to perform a task. An example could be the biceps brachii contracts when doing elbow flexion. While the antagonist would be the triceps brachii relaxing during elbow flexion. 2. List and describe the five properties of skeletal muscle that play a role in how muscles are named. Location of the muscle Anterior, posterior in respect to a bone for example tibialis…

2- The dynamic range of foot arch and ankle joint while (Extension , Flexion , Inversion , Eversion). 3- The balance of foot and ankle joint. 4- Pain level improvement. - Research Importance : This is the first scientific study on the rehabilitation of plantar fasciitis injury for some athletes through the design of an exercise…

stiffening may adsorb the kinetic energy of the ball, minimizing the acceleration that the head experiences by increasing the relative mass of the player and extending the time of contact with the ball. Neck musculature may also play a role in damping the flexion/ extension oscillation that the head experiences during and after the act of heading (Dezman, et al., 2013). 1 Damping is an effect that tends to reduce the amplitude of oscillation in an oscillatory system. In this case, neck muscle…

The Palmar Grasp Reflex is essential to my skill, jump roping. This reflex appears at birth and is stimulated by touch to the palm of the hand. As a response the child does a flexion grasp that does not include the thumb. This contributes to my skill because it prepares for voluntary grasping. During the Fundamental Patterns Period a child becomes “skillful” at grasping. When jump roping one has to be able to the jump rope firmly while turning it over the head. This reflex contributed to my…

Ryan Fussy, Teddy Bridgewater, Derrick Rose, these are just a few examples of people that have experienced the dreadful injury. Everybody wonders what really happens when athletes or someone they know goes down with an ACL injury. Ryan Fussy’s story is very simple, he was running at football practice, he planted his foot in a bad position and it all went downhill from there. Teddy Bridgewater had almost the exact same thing happen to him at highly supervised and quarterback friendly NFL practice…

important to keep a rigid, straight back to optimize performance or else spine flexion can decrease the muscle’s contribution required torque and leaves only a lifter’s ligaments holding the weight, adds to joint shear. Continuation of this can lead to an injury of the lumbar discs. Another potentially detrimental practice is hyperextending the lower back during the lift. This is just as problematic as spine flexion and can also cause joint shear which could lead to hernias. To combat this…

Mack, the patient complains of right wrist pain. She continues to note “quite a bit of pain” of her right wrist. She wears a splint full time. She is not working. On examination of the right wrist, range of motion shows flexion of 25 degrees, extension of 45 degrees, radial deviation of 5 degrees and ulnar deviation of 25 degrees. Grip strength testing shows 15/10/14 on the right and 35/35/35 on the left. As of this report, X-ray of the right wrist with 2 views shows proximal…

Introduction Functional electrical stimulation (FES) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an therapeutic technique by which small electrical impulses are applied to a paralyzed or spastic muscle in order to induce contraction and thereby improve its function. Traditionally, NMES refers to those stimulatory protocols directed at increasing strength and FES with function. FES can stimulate muscle contraction for exercise, bladder management, grasping, standing, and walking, among…

Introduction: There are a number of injuries that occur during an athletic season. No matter what sport you participate in, injuries happen, and there is no way to prevent this from happening. What we can do is prevent the likely hood of these injuries from occurring through mobility and strengthening programs during the season. For example, an athlete who stretches on a daily basis and works out certain parts of their body in season are far less likely to receive an injury than an athlete…
