Critical Appraisal Assignment Effect of Splinting and Exercise on Intraneural Edema of the Median Nerve in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – An MRI Study to Reveal Therapeutic Mechanisms Student ID: 400042610 Course: PT611 Instructor: Professor Graham Date: Monday October 5, 2015 PICO QUESTION The study question developed using the PICO method to aid in the article search was: “In adults with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) do gliding exercises (GE) reduce pain and symptomatology in patients…

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a hand injury which occurs at wrist joint and causes several problems at this joint, such as finger numbness, pain and muscle weakness. It happens as a result of compression of the median nerve which innervated thumb, index and middle finger (ASSH, 1990). This compression is caused by pattern of hand use, fracture at wrist joint and other medical conditions, for instance diabetes, obesity and rheumatoid arthritis (NHS, 2014). There are two ways to treat carpal…

THE SEVENTH CRANIAL NERVE Testing the Function of the Facial Nerve VII Anatomy & Physiology 203 November 15, 2014 Introduction: The facial nerve is the seventh cranial nerve of the peripheral nervous system that is the chief motor nerve of the face. It exits the brainstem between the pons and the medulla. The primary motor function is the control of the muscles of facial expressions and conveys impulses of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue and mouth…

INTRODUCTION The lamina cribrosa (LC) within the scleral canal in the optic nerve head (ONH) is thought to be the primary site of axonal insult in glaucoma.1-3 It is of interest in glaucoma to understand the anatomy of the LC and surrounding tissues and how they change with aging and disease. LC has been investigated using a variety of methods, including histologic section,4,5 detergent digestion of surrounding tissues6,7 and finite element modeling.8,9 In human glaucomatous eyes, LC…

Jeanese Murdock Splint Wearing Reflection Paper Over a period of the first two days I wore my splint for six hours. First in the setting of driving and community mobility which was an hour. While at home I wore it for another 2 hours while doing ADLs and IADLs. Also, I participated in the leisure setting for 3 hours. I was only able to sleep in it for two hours. Saturday morning I wore the splint for three and a half hours deer hunting. I must say that the splint was comfortable, but it…

On the Should of a Stranger The sound of my shovel breaking the ground is the only noise that reaches my ears. The warm tears running down my cheeks, the only thing I feel. I slow down my breathing to match the rhythm of the steady chink of my shovel as it enters the dirt, almost reaching a hypnotic state. Anything to keep my mind off what is happening. Chink. An image of me on my knees beside the road flashes before my eyes, and with it comes a searing pain. My shovel misses its mark and…

react to the certain stimulus. The word neuropathy is defined as nerve damage and thus the nerves that could be referred to are motor, sensory or autonomic nerves. As a result, symptoms can range anywhere from numbness and tingling to paralysis or organ dysfunction depending on the type of nerves(s) that are damaged. Motor nerve damage can result in muscle damage or uncontrolled movements. Depending on the size of the sensory nerve that is damaged, patients may become over sensitive or even…

In the front of a ginormous school, just staring up at the school hanging over me. As I had enough courage to walk inside I pushed through the crowed of people. There was senior party banner that was hanging on inside the school. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go necessarily because I was a kind of a popular girl. I don't want to mess up my reputation and ruin my education in school, I was a A+ student. There could be fights that could break out of hand. Troublemakers at the school, that are…

Common symptoms of the full can and empty can test are weakness and pain, therefore both tests need to be used to test for rotator cuff injuries. If pain, weakness, or both are present, these tests are thought to be positive. Since pain modifies muscle strength, there is a concern about the reliability of the empty can test.1 This concern arises because of the internal rotation of the humerus results in impingement, therefore potentially decreases the usefulness of the test. With the empty can…

After Joe left the small garret that I shared with Herbert Pocket in London, I decided that I must leave at once to inform Mr. Jaggers of my need to visit Estella back at Ms. Havisham’s house. As I was about to step foot into his office, this young girl wrapped in a scarf with a large floppy hat ran up to me and stopped me in my tracks. She quickly asked me if I wouldn’t mind joining her for tea, and before I had time to reply, she pulled me into a tea shop nearby. As we stepped into the shop,…
