Forearm

This paper introduces the portion of the lower arm called the forearm. The two bones contained within the forearm are described in detail, briefly mentioning their relation to one another. The relevant names and descriptions are depicted of the common bone breaks, dislocations, and the process of acquiring radiographic images in order to identify such forearm trauma. It is pertinent to always get a little more than just the injured bone in the x-ray to rule out something significant just past the area that could be damaged. Therefore, the image receptor (IR) size should be large enough to get the entire area of interest. The location of the central ray (CR) as well as collimation is crucial. I find that it is quite astounding that these two…

Purpose of the Research The purpose of this research study was to discover the outcome of a forearm band method while being compared to the elbow taping method as a treatment for lateral epicondylitis. Lateral epicondylitis is commonly referred to as “Tennis Elbow”. This musculoskeletal disorder causes pain and weakness at, but not limited to, the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis. Other than performing a backhand stroke in tennis, some activities that can cause pain include turning a door knob…

Tennis elbow, which is an inflammation of the tendons of the elbow is said to particularly affect career tennis men. This is not surprising judging by the amount of stress their activity puts on their arms. But what are the real facts around this condition? And who else can be affected by it? Let us now go into more details concerning that condition. What is Tennis elbow? Also known as Epicondylitis or Lateral Epicondylitis, it is caused by an excessive use of the muscles of the forearm. Many…

Orthosis for Radial Nerve Palsy Clients, who sustain damage to the radial nerve experience a significant loss in functional use of the hand. Radial nerve is the most commonly injured nerve of the upper extremity. Orthotic fabrication for an individual with radial nerve palsy requires a balance between protecting the skin while trying to provide increased function for the extremity. Radial nerve palsy depends a lot on where the nerve is damaged. Description of the radial nerve palsy…

The Anterior Compartment of the forearm This paper will discuss the anterior compartment into details and the nerves and arteries that innervations it. The anterior compartment composed of three layers namely: the superficial, the immediate and the deep layer. The superficial layer consists of four muscles i.e pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, and flexor carpi ulnaris. The immediate layer comprised of one muscle, the flexor digitorum superficial muscle. The deep layer…

Iontophoresis Tennis Elbow is a condition that commonly affects professional to recreational tennis players. Tennis elbow is referred to as lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) in clinical practice. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of iontophoresis treatment on patients with LET. Iontophoresis is defined as a treatment that uses an electric charge to move liquid medication into the body or specific targeted area of a muscle or inflamed area. The liquid is known as dexamethasone…

The purpose of this literature review paper is to analyze the use of proprioception training in individuals who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident, most commonly referred to as a stroke. As defined in the textbook (Coker, 2013), proprioception is “the continuous flow of sensory information received from receptors located in the muscles, tendons, joints, and inner ear regarding movement and body position.” A stroke can affect various areas of the brain, including those involved in balance…

Finger-Wrist condition, the Finger-Forearm condition, and the Wrist-Forearm condition. 20-psychology students participated in the study. All 20 participants participated in all three conditions. The 20 participants consisted of 13 females and 7 males, with age ranging between 19 and 45 (M=23.5). Of the 20 participants, 18 were right handed. Materials Three ‘metal paperclips’, of three lengths; 35 mm, 45 mm, 55 mm were used. Procedure Participants were randomly allocated an order to complete the…
