Muscles of the upper limb

their balance if it involves serious injuries to any limbs. After a serious injury, it is common for someone to give the limb some rest time to recover, for example an ankle injury, after several weeks of no exercise the muscles becomes atrophy, as the article states “ Bilateral locomotor abnormalities, attribute to deficits in the ability to shift body weight on to the paretic limb” (Carolee, 1989) making it difficult to walk on the injury as well as putting more pressure on the unimpaired ankle. This article shows a study they performed on several FUNCTONAL CONTROL TRAINING WITH VR AND THE EFFCTS IN A CLINIC 3 patients who needed any type of assistance to move or walk. The way measurements were taken was by first taking the center of pressure, which allowed the therapist to “derive indicants of position, weight distribution, and stability” (Carolee, 1989). The second thing measured was the weight being distributed in the paretic limb and unimpaired limb using a force plate. From these measurements, they could determine the weight difference being distributed throughout the limbs. The therapy that takes place involves, coordination training, sitting balance activity’s, strengthen activities and motor control facilitation. Functional training also takes place which involves walking, transferring to a wheel chair or in and out of bed, as well as weight shifting and weight balance training. These interventions will help muscle weakness, joint stiffness and even inner ear…

In the Augmented Perception for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation study experimenters were looking at different hand postures and movements used in everyday skills. This was evaluated through identifying different motions of the arms, elbows, wrist, and fingers, and imitating these motions. With respect to identifying the motion, the participant either with or without a headset on, heard a beep, saw two stick figure arms, then saw either the left or right arm move and perform 1 of 4 actions (wiggle,…

The intrinsic muscles include the thenar and hypothenar muscle group in the thumb and pinky, the interossei muscles by the dorsal and palmar, originating between the metacarpal bones, and the lumbrical muscles by the deep flexor tendon. The intrinsic muscles only make the fingers function. The extrinsic muscles are the long flexors and extensors, running from the forearm to the hand, providing strength to the hand and wrist. The flexors prohibit the fingers to bend and the extensors can make the…

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…

movement analysis. Those 4 phases include the loading phase, timing phase, the launching phase, and the follow through after the swing (Van Such, 2016). Each batter has their own unique stance based on how they plant their feet and hold the bat. However, regardless of their batting style each of the muscles involved in each phase is remains constant. The baseball swing first starts by getting in the proper stance which as mentioned above can vary from player to player. After the feet are…

Activity aggravates the pain and medications improve it. The patient also has constant neck pain radiating into both upper extremities, both thumbs ad all fingers associated with tingling, numbness, weakness and cramps. The patient rated neck pain as 3-7/10-scale level. The pain aggravates with neck rotation and neck movements. Medications relieve it. There is also 3-7/10-sclae level pain in bilateral wrists, hands and thumbs L>R. The pain is aggravated by the use of both hands and relieved…

major key in sports as it dissects the certain movement of muscles and joints to perform a certain action in the sport. A basketball jump shot uses all of the movement phases, from the stance phase, preparatory phase, movement phase, follow-through phase and recovery phase. The jump shot has gradually evolved in the NBA, and is considered one of the most important and most commonly used shot in basketball. There are many sharpshooters in the NBA, like Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Carmelo…

in order to instruct a volleyball player on the correct qualitative and quantitative aspects of a serve. Particular movements for a volleyball serve, encompass both structural and mechanical fundamentals essential to the functionality of the movement. Using both kinesiology and biomechanical analysis, the volleyball serve may be better understood. When studying the specific anatomical features of a volleyball serve, the movements are most efficiently analyzed in smaller phases. Using kinesiology…

also known as “Tennis Elbow”, is a chronic condition that presents pain in the lateral portion of the the elbow. Frequently seen in sports that require a repetitive motion of forearm flexion and extension, such as tennis, pitching, golf, javelin throwing, and fencing, the muscles that are typically involved, but are not limited to, include the extensor muscles.(1) This muscle group encompasses the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the extensor digitorum communis laterally. In addition,but not…

Span Video Content Audio Content 0:00-0:30 Full screen shot of the humerus during the introduction The Humerus is both the largest bone in the arm and the only one located in the upper arm. Many of the powerful muscles that help move the shoulder and forearm, the elbow, are attached to the Humerus. The Humerus is very essential to a variety of movements of the arm, including throwing, lifting, and even writing. 0:30-1:00 Demonstrate all parts of the humerus bone. There are many parts of the…
