Upper limb anatomy

A volleyball serve is one of the most important movements when playing the game of volleyball. Without the proper techniques, the serve can ultimately make a difference in a win and a loss. The detailed science of a volleyball serve can best be described using kinesiology, or the study of anatomical principles and physiological mechanics of movement, and biomechanics, the study of forces and there effects on living things. Once the kinesiological aspect is understood for this particular movement…

Introduction Lateral epicondylitis also known as “Tennis Elbow”, is a chronic condition that presents pain in the lateral portion of the the elbow. Frequently seen in sports that require a repetitive motion of forearm flexion and extension, such as tennis, pitching, golf, javelin throwing, and fencing, the muscles that are typically involved, but are not limited to, include the extensor muscles.(1) This muscle group encompasses the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the extensor digitorum…

Time Span Video Content Audio Content 0:00-0:30 Full screen shot of the humerus during the introduction The Humerus is both the largest bone in the arm and the only one located in the upper arm. Many of the powerful muscles that help move the shoulder and forearm, the elbow, are attached to the Humerus. The Humerus is very essential to a variety of movements of the arm, including throwing, lifting, and even writing. 0:30-1:00 Demonstrate all parts of the humerus bone. There are many parts of…

Activity aggravates the pain and medications improve it.

The patient rated neck pain as 3-7/10-scale level. The pain aggravates with neck rotation and neck movements. Medications relieve it. There is also 3-7/10-sclae…

The purpose of this literature review paper is to analyze the use of proprioception training in individuals who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident, most commonly referred to as a stroke. As defined in the textbook (Coker, 2013), proprioception is “the continuous flow of sensory information received from receptors located in the muscles, tendons, joints, and inner ear regarding movement and body position.” A stroke can affect various areas of the brain, including those involved in balance…

In the Augmented Perception for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation study experimenters were looking at different hand postures and movements used in everyday skills. This was evaluated through identifying different motions of the arms, elbows, wrist, and fingers, and imitating these motions. With respect to identifying the motion, the participant either with or without a headset on, heard a beep, saw two stick figure arms, then saw either the left or right arm move and perform 1 of 4 actions (wiggle,…

Functional training and Functional control are two interventions that promote the performance of people suffering from everyday Impairments and functional limitations. Training in functional movements can improve posture and help functional control in daily activities that require mobility, stability for self-care. ADL training is very important for dressing, caring for injured body parts and overall health. IADL are important as well for more complex activities such as going to the grocery…

However, significant positive evidence points to improvements of hand dexterity, upper and lower extremity range of motion, and motor function of both upper and lower extremities, particularly if therapies are used for several months in patients with chronic issues. In general, FES appears to have more promise relative to traditional therapies in chronic populations…

Because stealing was unlawful, people didn't have to be worried about all of their stuff being stolen. If honesty wasn't prohibited, lots of people would be lying and the society they had been living in would be a more questionable place of uncertainty. Since adultery was unaccepted in their society, people wouldn't have to be worried about getting sexually transmitted diseases, and wouldn't lose their spouse's trust. Respect was another great thing that shaped up the Babylonian society, and it…

Orthosis for Radial Nerve Palsy Clients, who sustain damage to the radial nerve experience a significant loss in functional use of the hand. Radial nerve is the most commonly injured nerve of the upper extremity. Orthotic fabrication for an individual with radial nerve palsy requires a balance between protecting the skin while trying to provide increased function for the extremity. Radial nerve palsy depends a lot on where the nerve is damaged. Description of the radial nerve palsy…
