Volkmann’s Contracture Emily Matherne 12/12/15 A Volkmann’s contracture is a deformity of the hand, fingers, and wrist caused by injury to the muscles of the forearm. Another commonly used name is Ischemic Contracture. This deformity happens when there is a lack of blood flow to the forearm, which occurs when there is an increased pressure due to swelling causing a condition called compartment syndrome. Compartment syndrome can cause a Volkmann’s contracture. Injury to the arm, including…

Muscles (Grip strength) In this week’s lab, we was doing an experiment on forearm, and its muscle fiber with nerves. The forearm is a part that between the primates’ elbow and wrist. Forearms contain connective tissue, nerve tissue and muscle tissue. In which, connective tissue is just radius and ulnar bones. However, there are a great deal of muscles and nerves in the forearm. When a nerve impulse transmission to synaptosomes induced depolarization, allows calcium ions to enter the cell…

this experiment to find out what types of muscle fibers the gastrocnemius and forearm muscles are built of. Being built from multiple muscle fiber types is important for maximal fatigue resistant and contraction. Before the experiment we hypothesized that the gastrocnemius would have the most type two b fiber types because they need to have a forceful contraction to help the frog jump. We also thought that the forearm and gastrocnemius would have the same about of each muscle fiber…

bands of tissue that attach your forearm muscles to the inside of your bone at the elbow (tendons). These tendons affect the muscles that bend the palm toward the wrist (flexion). This condition is called golfer's elbow because it is more common among people who constantly bend and twist their wrists, such as golfers. This injury usually results from overuse. Tendons also become less flexible with age. This condition causes elbow pain that may spread to your forearm and upper arm. The pain…

the floor (bend your elbow if you need to make adjustments). Also, forearms should be pointed towards the floor when holding the hand weights. A 90 -egree angle should be formed between the upper arm and forearm. Slowly move your forearm and use your triceps to lift the hand weights up until your forearm becomes straight (make sure your upper…

Radial Head Elbow Fracture With Rehab A radial head fracture is a break in the smaller bone in your forearm (radius). There are two bones in your forearm. The radial bone is the bone on the side of your thumb. The fracture is located at the head of the bone, which is at the elbow joint. This usually happens because of an injury, such as a fall on an outstretched arm. There are different types of radial head fracture. They are determined by the amount of movement (displacement) of bones from…

by doctors and is confirmed by radiologists. The boy in the case study was told to rest his arm until his condition had completely healed. This mean that he had to completely refrain from tennis and other activities involving the extension of the forearm. He was out of commission for six weeks before his lateral epicondylitis was completely healed and he could return to play tennis. Rest is the first option to recover from lateral epicondylitis, there are other surgical and nonsurgical…

however, things didn’t go as planned. Nevertheless, the guards were posted outside the jail unaware of what was about to take place. Kenji’s gang tried to help him escape, as a result, it led to a massive shootout and most of the guards died, except, Forearms…

at the coracoid process. The bicipital aponeurosis to the fascia on the medial side of the forearm is the insertion for the short head. The biceps brachii helps to control the action of two different joints, the shoulder and elbow therefore it is a 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…

(resisted wrist extension with radial deviation) and with resisted forearm supination, and resisted ulnar deviation motion. No significant pain noted with passive wrist flexion with the elbow in the extended position (Mills test). Wrist ulnar deviation & wrist extension hurts. The patient's with intact sensation on B UE as to touch stimulation. The subject also has an active symmetrical and within reasonable limits neck, shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist joint range of motion(ROM). Muscle…
