Flexion

bi-articular muscle. It causes flexion at both the elbow and shoulder and forearm supination. Its flexion at the elbow is essential for the lifting of the forearm, we can see this by reflecting back to our results where the flexion raw results had the highest mean value. We also know that supination occurs because where they insert on the radius (biceps tuberosity) more so the EMG results back it up however the muscle is much less involved in the supination compared to the flexion. In our…

The movements of the elbow joints are flexion and extension. Rotation of the forearm occurs at the superior radio-ulnar joint which is closely associated with the elbow joint. The movements of the ankle joint are dorsiflexion, which is carrying the top of the foot up towards the leg, and plantarflexion…

calcaneus or heel. The movement of flexion allows people to stand on their toes when walking, running, or jumping. Like all tendons the achilles can also be injured, despite its strength. Limited blood supply and the high tensions placed on it causes many ruptures. MOI, Mechanism of Injury Although the achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body, there are still possibilities as to tearing the tendon. The most common MOI includes sudden forced plantar flexion of the foot meaning…

This study validates the influence of haemodynamic alteration under the flexion. A previous study suggests wearers may undergo unaware thoracic lateral flexion when the weight of the backpack is excessive and exerted asymmetrically [14]. Potential of accidental injury increases when wearers undergo the flexion intentionally or unintentionally to overcome the loading of the backpack. The decrease in blood flow rate may also induce temporary…

laundry and cleaning. The range of motion of the cervical spine reveals flexion and extension of 30 degrees, lateral flexion of 25 degrees and rotation of 60 degrees to both sides. Muscle testing is 4/5. Lumbar spine range of motion reveals flexion of 50 degrees, extension of 10 degrees, lateral flexion of 15 degrees, and rotation on both sides of 30 degrees. Muscle testing is 4/5. Right knee range of motion reveals flexion of 100 degrees. Muscle testing is 4/5. Sensation is decreased to…

a day with a mobility technician was also implemented in both groups. Clinical evaluations of the participants’ status were collected at three visits: baseline, at six weeks post-surgery, and at three months post-surgery. The ROM extension and flexion values were measured by the surgeon using a goniometer. Data was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous variables and chi-squared and Fisher’s exact tests for categorical variables. Pain and psychological symptoms were also…

DOI: 5/4/2010. Patient is a 64-year-old male millwright specialist who sustained injury while pulling belt on to the conveyor when he felt strain to his left shoulder. Per AME dated 11/06/13, the patient is status post left shoulder arthroscopic surgery with debridement and biceps tendon stump and frayed labrum, modified subacromial decompression with bursectomy and subpectoral biceps tenodesis on 2/14/11. He has not reached MMI at this time. Based on progress report dated 01/12/15, the…

the greater trochanter upon bony palpation of the right hip. Soft tissue palpation on the right revealed tenderness of the supraspinous ligament, the iliolumbar region, and the piriformis. Active range of motion revealed, lateral flexion to the right is 15 degrees, flexion is 45 degrees, and extension is 10 degrees. Pain is noted during motion. Per discussion, the patient has severe tenderness…

Toe Off/Pre-swing Gait Phase Gait is the manner in which a person walks and can be described using terms such as stride, stride length, step, step length, and cadence. According to Lippert, (2011) stride is defined as the distance from the point when one foot touches the ground to the point when the same foot touches the ground again. Stride length is the total distance traveled during the gait cycle. A step is one half of a stride and cadence is walking speed (p. 339). In addition, there are…

is the largest joint in the body; the joint is vital in supporting an individual when performing functional movements such as walking, running and jumping (Hamill, Knutzen and Derrick, 2014). Ref reports the knee joint moves in all three planes. Flexion and extension is seen in the sagittal plane, whereas internal and external rotation occurs in the transverse plane and adduction/abduction can be analysed from a frontal plane view. A ligamentous tissue capsule surrounds the joint, supporting the…
