Optimal patient positions for cardiac sound assessment include sitting and leaning forward, turned on left side, and lying supine. Murmurs can be heard when blood volume in the heart is raised, or the flow of blood is obstructed or changed. Systolic murmurs are audible after S1 and diastolic after S2. Sometimes thrills or…
Session Four: This session was a bit easier than the last two sessions. Erin and Phil are both Supine in Affection. I shared that the numbers in expressed and wanted in Affection were almost identical. It is necessary that they tell each other they love each other often and that they show physical expressions of hugs, kisses, and touches to each other. I explained that people with this temperament expected people to read their minds. We discussed the ramifications of that and how they must…
With their patient, Scheer, Alstat, & Van Zant (2016) performed 11 ASTYM treatments over an eight week period. These sessions included a bike warmup, ASTYM therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises. The stretch positions included prone, supine, and against the wall and focused on the quads, hamstrings, piriformis, and calf muscles. For strengthening, the cerebral palsy patient did bear and crab crawls, single lag ball exercises, and running to improve her flexibility, coordination…
possibility of pregnancy has to be ruled out in order to avoid unnecessarily exposing the developing baby to the consequential effects of radiation. The patient is either placed in a supine or prone position into the CT scanner and has to remain still during the procedure. There is an advantage in the prone position, because it allows for better assessment of urinary stones at the vesicoureteral junction. CT KUB’s are painless, but last a little longer in duration than conventional KUB…

also spoke to Dr. McCutcheon and researched the Trendelenburg position. This position is the standard for patients that are so hypotensive that they are about to faint or already have. The idea is that this position increases venous return, therefor increasing stroke volume. I found a meta-analysis (cited below) that states the Trendelenburg position does not yield more venous return or increase stroke volume than being in a supine position. I showed Dr. McCutcheon the meta-analysis and we had a…
presented with hip pain were initially evaluated at our centre for hip pathology. The clinical features included hip pain, limp, painful ambulation, clicking or locking sensation on rotation of the hip. . All the patients were examined in supine and standing position and pain on rotation of hip was elicited. Patients were further evaluated radiologically with X-ray of hip and pelvis, computed tomography (CT) Scan or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (Fig.1 & 2). The various indications for which…
tympanic membrane. Neonates tend to be tested lying in a cot with one ear facing up and the head in a horizontal position and probe in a vertical position. The authors provided adequate background about how head position may alter tympanometry, as they explain that different head positions relate to different body positions. The authors introduce a research study that explained how body position can affect tympanometric measurements. This study showed how…
