Pronation

Respiratory involvement can be caused by scoliosis since the individual is in a flexed position at the hip and has pronation of the scapula; it is like the body is squishing the lungs and airway together. Since DMD is a disease that decreases muscle tissue, intercostals, abdominals, and neck flexor muscles may be affected. These muscles assist the diaphragm in allowing…

muscles are categorized by different fibers, all 600 or so muscles found in the human body provide the same function, movement. However, this movement is provided by different forces. Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, rotation, supination, and pronation are all terms that describe the different muscular movements. These terms all describe the upward, downward, inward, and outward movements that humans need to walk, eat, use their hands, elbows, knees and hips. Just as with bones and…

“The human body,” many of us don’t nearly realize what happens throughout the body, and if I’m being honest, neither did I, up until I took Anatomy and Physiology in high school and my freshman year of college. It is truly amazing, how many systems and functions one’s body has; from the smallest of molecules to the largest of organs, all working together to keep the one going. The entire body is made up of cells, all working hard making sure everything is working accordingly. From making swift…

Exercise is becoming more common every day. Athletes, and even non-athletes are in need of a special type of shoe to protect their joints that is also a comfortable fit. The running shoe not only benefits athletes, but is beneficial for everyone. The running shoe dates back to the Ancient Egyptians in 1500 B.C.E. The Egyptians created sandals by weaving reeds or leather pieces together to design their running shoe, so they could chase after their prey and not hurt their feet while doing so. The…

extension of the knee as the vaulter sets their stance to pole plant. The left and right wrists are extended by the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus and the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis. The Pronator Teres in the left elbow has weak flexion and pronation of the forearm. The Anconeus in the right elbow allows the extension of the elbow. The Infraspinatus and the Pectoralis Major work on bilateral sides of the body on the shoulder joints for horizontal abduction and internal rotation while putting…

R.W.Barfield (1998) Biomechanics of kicking in soccer. The objective of the study was to examine the effect of angle of approach on kicking accuracy. Accuracy kicking is necessary for successful kicks from penalty mark. The study included 7 male amateurs recreational soccer player aged 26+/- 3years, body mass 74-80 kgs, stature 1.74 +/- 0.06 m, who were right foot dominant. Kicking kicks from penalty mark at 0.6x0.6 target at the full size goal post according to their self selected approach…

most common area of strain in musicians. First, a musician must understand that the wrist does not rotate. Any rotational movement should originate from the elbow and the distal end of the forearm, where the radius will cross over the ulna during pronation. Attempts to rotate the wrist itself can be problematic, so it is important for a musician to understand the structure and movement of these joints. Wrist injuries in musicians are common and are usually categorized as repetitive strain…

Supination will results to damage in the lateral ligaments, pronation will results to damage in the medial structure and rotation damage to the syndesmotic. Swelling immediate inferior to the lateral malleus will be signalling injury to the ATF and swelling above can be resembling syndesmotic or fibular fracture. (Rubin…
