Reflexes

dorsiflexion: with response +2 and plantar flexion of the foot against my hand, bilaterally. Further, no clonus observed, when stretched the muscle of the lower leg and briskly dorsiflexed the foot, bilaterally. Superficial (cutaneous) reflexes: Abdominal reflexes: Observed ipsilateral contraction of the abdominal muscles with the deviation of the umbilicus toward the stroke, when the handle of the refax hammer was moved from each corner of the abdomen toward the midline at upper and lower…

super speed I'm talking about would allow you to travel at the speed of light; you'd be able to endure such speed as you'd also have enhanced stamina, agility and durability. Also you'd move at light speed, granting you the abilities of superhuman reflexes and thinking at the speed of light. Probably the best side effect would be your accelerated healing factor. You'd basically become someone really hard to kill, as a matter of fact unbeatable. A speedster would never have to fear a battle or…

A sciatic nerve injury may often arise from a hip dislocation and is often difficult to diagnose immediately. Loss of sensation in the posterior leg and the foot, loss of dorsiflexion or plantarflexion, and loss of deep tendon reflexes at the ankle can point to sciatic nerve damage. The deep tendon reflex at the ankle is tested by striking the achilles tendon with a reflex hammer and noting plantar flexion. Then the results are compared to the other side. If left untreated, the…

Humans and other mammals have a Diving Response, which can be also known as ‘The Mammalian Dive Response/Reflex. The Diving reflex consists of set of reflexes that are activated when our face is cooled or if we hold our breath. This is a clever psychological mechanism because it enables our bodies to manage and to tolerate a lower level of oxygen in an environment that we do not normally face every day. There are three main changes that occur in our body when our Dive reflex triggers;…

the exact area of the cord or nerve-root which is compromised. Patients may also complain urinary urgency, hesitation and frequency but infrequnetly of urinary incontinence and retention. Fecal incontinence is very rearly present. Decreased tendon reflexes (hyporeflexia), muscle weakness and sensory disturbance in the upper extremities are signs of grey matter lesions. Hyperreflexia (decreased ankle and knee reflex), negative cremasteric reflex, positive Babinski’s sign and sensory disturbance…

3. The results of the implicit association test provide evidence for the fact that we associate certain .I have taken two tastes I never heard about implicit attitude test .My results shown that I have an slight automatic preference for those who are young versus who are old .Am totally disagree and surprised with the part of my results ,because I have a similar respect and liking for the young and all people in an equal way .Moreover am very young girl and I look up for those people who are…

According to the results, the mean amplitude of normal reflex is greater than the Jendrassik maneuver. There should be greater amplitude with the Jendrassik maneuver because Jendrassik maneuver reduces the person’s ability to voluntarily affect the response to the tap made to the tendon even if they are fully aware of why the distraction is being incorporated into the test (Zabelis et al. 1998).The Jendrassik maneuver had low mean amplitude of the angle of deflection which can be due to some…

Poliomyelitis or better known as Polio is a viral and infectious disease that is to affect mainly the central nervous system, and can also cause temporary or permanent damage to the body Polio disease can be found at any age but is commonly foJonas Salk was born October 28, 1914, and died on June 23, 1995 Salk was an American medical researcher and virologist Salk studied and graduated the New York University School of Medicine He was the first man to discover and develop the successful Polio…

birthing process. The 5 minuet score shows the doctor how well the baby is handling itself outside of the mothers womb. The doctor, midwife or the nurse performs the test. They check 5 things that are the breathing effort, heart rate, muscle tone, reflexes and the skin color. Each category gets scored with a 0, 1 or 2 depending the condition that is observed. If the baby is not breathing then the breathing effort gets a score of 0. The better the baby is doing they get a higher score but if the…

revealing those teeth was anything but friendly and Marley felt quite partial to the meat attached to his old bones. From the creature's back a pair of tattered membranous wings unfurled, and Marley dodged to his left as it feinted forward testing his reflexes. The master runesmith swung his staff with the accuracy of one more use to wielding a hammer than a long stick. The tip of the wood whistle harmlessly passed its head and the creature snarled, saliva dripping from its many-fanged maw.…
