Restless legs syndrome

large muscle on one side of the limb reflecting the limited range of motion attributed by the elbow and knee joints. The differences consist of the lower leg muscles are larger and stronger due to the greater load bearing capabilities. Muscles of the upper limbs such as the deltoid muscle in the arm does not have a direct analogy in the leg since the leg does not have a greater range of motion compared to the arm as the muscles of the hip joint does not require the exertion efforts in as many…

Hundred Americans lose a limb daily. Limb loss is the loss or non-development of a portion or complete loss of an arm or leg. The CDC estimates that nearly two million Americans are living with limb loss in the United States today. Unlike these resilient people I was able to choose what disability I would live with for a third of my day. Initially I wanted to go without my right leg for eight hours. However making accommodations for this was proving to be a little difficult and time restrictions…

Right foot has two ulcers on superior side on second and third toe. Turgor appropriate for age. This assessment is one of the most…

increasing strength and FES with function. FES can stimulate muscle contraction for exercise, bladder management, grasping, standing, and walking, among other functions. For example, in spinal cord injury patients, electrodes can be applied to the leg muscles and sequential contractions of flexor/extensor groups can be used to drive walking movements. These processes were useful in early neuroprostheses,…

found a counter and made their way towards the goal. The Red Devils winger skipped the ball to the outside of the eighteen yard box and cocked his leg back at his knee and whipped a insanely hard shot off his laces. The goalie had his mouth open, and when the ball was hit he immediately shut his mouth and shuffled twice to his left and extended his legs so he could reach the…

looking away from the camera, focused on her work. Makeup is subtle and her hair is pulled back, giving her an effortless beauty. This is done because L’eggs does not want to draw the focus to her face. The main focus is her right leg, which is pointed into the air. Her legs are tanned and toned, made to look even better with L’eggs. The visual provides the reader with a confident woman who achieved her self-confidence by wearing L’eggs, and that encourages women to buy the…

with adrenaline and drenched in sweat, I feel the brisk wind linger. I grit my teeth, ready to take action. Three one thousand, four one thousand. The ball snaps and number 50 is my target. I jump towards him, but he dives down. As he wraps around my leg, my mind wraps around my thoughts. For what I thought was the weight of the world pummeling me, was every player packing on top of me. Five one thousand, six one thousand. I hear two pops followed by a shrill sound of a whistle. The play is…

having others around. I also didn’t think anybody cared about what I did. Like when we had to do our weekly 3 mile run, and I would want to give up. My teammate slowed down and ran with me, not letting me quit no matter how badly my lungs burned or legs hurt. He encouraged me along the way, told me about his dreams and asked about mine. Another time was when we were working on drills, and since I was new to the sport at the time I didn't know much about checking what was legal and what wasn’t,…

hibernating beneath the ground. She has no idea what I want or why I expect her to do it but she eagerly sniffs around, perusing for anything that will satisfy me. I feel saliva pooling up beneath my tongue as I think about the delectable fried frog legs that will reward me after I bring home the…

places with all these needles. Everything became a blur as they gave me the anesthesia to calm me down before they took me back. I vaguely remember my parents telling me good look and the next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. My whole right leg was numb from the waist down and I was extremely groggy. I wasn’t in any pain and I was able to eat some crackers and drink some apple juice. My surgeon told my parents that the surgery was successful and they repaired all my torn ligaments and…
