Proprioception

The case study subject is a young 8th grade male. In the video that was presented in Kin 426 at Sonoma State University, was of the case study subject running a 20 yard dash. The subject was performing this action on the blacktop near grass. He was in a open and spacious environment with no distractions. The case study subject displayed in the video showed signs of abnormalities when doing that specific task because of his physical appearance. When performing a 20 yard dash you typically…

line or blood. In some cases, ligamentous laxity is caused by injuries that caused ligamentous laxity by inflicting damage in the ligaments by overlengthening them. or the reduced observance of proprioception. Proprioception is to have a notice of your body, so if you have reduced observation of proprioception, you misinterpret how far you can stretch your body. Ligamentous laxity has several important symptoms such as when your lax or loose ligaments are unfit to sufficiently guide the joints…

“Twitter and the Social Sixth Sense” As I was reading the article, “Twitter and the Social Sixth Sense” by Clive Thompson; I realized it was mostly about social media. Mr. Thompson explained, “Twitter is the app that everyone loves to hate. “(para. 1, 2). He explained how twitter,” lets you post brief updates about your everyday thoughts and activities to the Web via browser, cell phone, or IM. “ (Para. 2). This probably sounds sound boring and exclusively stupid. However, in the…

Humans have five basic senses: hearing, vision, smell, taste, and touch. The definition of a “sense” is “any system that consists of a group of sensory cell types that respond to a specific physical phenomenon and corresponds to a particular group of regions within the brain where the signals are received and interpreted.” In this paper I will be taking about sensory deprivation which is the lessening or complete loss of senses. I will discuss what hearing, vision, smell, taste, and touch is and…

outcomes of the intervention were improvements on the seven, upper limb subscores of the Fugl-Meyer test (e.g., proximal arm, hand, and finger function, surface sensibility, proprioception,…

Scott et al. compared those who suffer from spinal cord injury (SCI) and the body under microgravity. Their findings show that SCI patients and astronauts, in long term conditions, have similar physiological outcomes and those who have SCI can be good examples to study the effects of spaceflight on the human body. The importance of comparing and contrasting these two populations is to be able to see if scientists can test individuals of one group to come up with results and conclusions of how to…

I choose to write about Douglas Starr’s responses to his interview with Terry Gross from Fresh Air about his article in the New Yorker called “Beyond Good Cop/ Bad Cop: A Look At Real-Life Interrogations.” Starr’s interview covered the topic “Do Police Interrogations Techniques Produce False Confessions?” The bottom line is yes. However, in this on air radio interview with Starr, he compares how two techniques frequently used by law enforcement in the United States with the Reid Method and…

I must say that prior to the podcast I did not have the knowledge of phantom limbs. It is very peculiar and fascinating how the brain works and there is still so much that we do not know about the brain. In addition, the sixth sense of proprioception is so remarkable and I do not even want to imagine what the individual that lost that sense went through. This research and the different scenarios presented in this podcast helped me expand my knowledge even more on how the brain interacts with…
