Muscles of the upper limb

considered cheating some people’s eyes. In Anthony robles case they said that his upper body was a lot bigger then all of the people in his weight class, and that was because he was missing a limb. Another knock against him was that wrestler rely on muscle memory to compete in their matches. Wrestling two legged people their whole life, they are use to doing certain things. When someone has one leg, it messes up their muscle memory and its harder for them to do there moves. I found it…

Different types of these substitutions include limb, neck, and dental prostheses. Over the years, doctors and therapists have created new versions and designs of these prosthetics using technology, such as computers. In particular, limb prostheses can simplify and completely turn around an individual’s life who had implications causing difficulty on their daily activities, such as walking or writing. Limb prostheses consist of both upper and lower attachments. Upper extremity prostheses are used…

A spinal cord injury within C1-C8 is called Quadriplegia or Tetraplegia. Paralysis affects the cervical spinal nerves, in different degrees in all four limbs. The body will still try to send messages from the injury to the brain through the spinal cord, via sensory pathways. The brain will also attempt to send messages from the brain to muscles via motor pathways. However these signals will be blocked by the damage in the spinal cord where the injury is located. Peripheral nerves in the spinal…

During 1938 baseball season, a great and prominent baseball player named Lou Gehrig noticed his performance on and off the field was not what it was supposed to be. He found himself stumbling over curbs and when running bases, he was more tired than usual, and he was fumbling the ball. On June 19, 1939, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on his thirty-sixth birthday. In the same year, Lou Gehrig retired from baseball, still considering himself to be the luckiest man alive…

controlling voluntary muscles such as arms, legs, and face. This disease links to motor neuron diseases which is based off the death of motor neurons. Motor neurons are nerve cells that are to be located in the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord that are the controlling unit and vital communication that links between the nervous system and voluntary ,muscles of the body. In ALS the upper motor and the lower motor die and stop sending signals or messages to the muscle,now that the muscles are…

to relax hand muscles. We transfer our full atten- tion to the right arm and imagine it is heavy, very heavy. We focus on our fingers and "summon” them one by one. We summon the index finger and then we move it. Then we do the same with the middle finger, the ring finger, the little finger, and, finally, the thumb. We summon each finger individually and then we move it. After this, we slowly direct our attention upwards, to the hand, the wrist, the forearm, the elbow, the upper arm and the…

the vertebral column protects the spinal cord. The appendicular skeleton includes the pectoral girdle, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle, and the lower limbs. This allows for movement, protection and support of the internal organs. The skeletal system provides the support for the entire body. Individual bones or groups of bones provide a framework for the attachment of soft tissues (muscle and organs).…

pp. 301–314, 1980). An individual with Parkinson disease often face muscle weakness, this is when the amount of force that produce by muscle contraction is reduced. This muscle weakness appear most in extensors of the elbow, extensor muscle, upper and lower limb, and various muscle in the trunk. This diseases also cause reduction of muscle mass and this lead to physical inactivate and psychological problem. Among the signs tremor is one of them. This…

The ulceration of tissue usually is at the location of a bony prominence that has been subjected to prolonged pressure against an external object, such as a bed, wheelchair, cast, or splint. Pressure ulcers may extend into deeper tissue including muscle and bone.” The preceding is the information needed to properly code giving description to the four stages depth of an ulcer, Stage I being the mildest case and Stage IV more severe; however, an unspecified stage and unstageable description could…

Kristen Kuhr, Joanna Ramos, Zachary Buck 1) Etiology/Pathogenesis of Phantom Limb Syndrome In order to understand a little about Phantom limb syndrome, we must first understand normal function of a body intact and its sensory and motor pathway. The body uses electrical impulses in the form of chemical exchanges in the neurons, or nerve cells, to pass along information. Normal body function indicates that as the extremity (upper or lower extremity) receives a stimulus, an electrical impulse is…
