Upper limb

In the case studies, administered by the Amputee Coalition (n.d.), reported that, “There are nearly 2 million people living with limb loss in the United States,” and “approximately 185,000 amputations occur in the United States each year” (Limb Loss Statistic, par.1). Coherently, amputations are the removal of body extremities resulted from certain illnesses, medical complications, or catastrophic accidents. There are varieties of prostheses for different types of amputations. For example,…

(Peter O’ Sullivan 2012). More than 50% of the computer workers and prolonged sitting has been associated with neck, back and upper extremity symptoms. (thomsen & mikkelsen, 2011). Study among workers like alternated sitting and standing, experienced pain and discomfort in upper limbs & lower limbs. Few systematic reviews suggest an association of sedentary lifestyle and upper limb pain. (Bakker,Verhagen,Vaan Triggfel & koes 2009) (da costa & veira 2010). But the evidence is inconsistent and…

with the middle finger, the ring finger, the little finger, and, finally, the thumb. We summon each finger individually and then we move it. After this, we slowly direct our attention upwards, to the hand, the wrist, the forearm, the elbow, the upper arm and the shoulder. We stay focused on the shoulder for at least one minute. Then we repeat all this with the left arm. Then we start relaxing our legs. We start with the right leg, but we do not have to focus on each finger…

if the pressure ulcer evolves into another stage use the appropriate stage accordingly. Based on stages III and IV, the length of stay may be impacted due to the time in which it may take to heal. There is a non-pressure chronic ulcer of the lower limb to be classified as (L97)…

Homeobox, also known as HOX genes, are genes that determine organ and limb formation during early embryonic development. Frances R. Goodman writes in his article “Limb Malformations and the Human HOX Genes” that humans have 39 HOX genes which are organized into four clusters. They have their own roles in the development of the central nervous system, axial skeleton, genitalia, and limbs. The study of HOX genes can lead to the identities of a number of human malformations. According to Shane C.…

In this example, the nerve receptors in the periphery, located in the arm and shoulder region, provide continuous information (feedback) to the CNS regarding the amount of resistance encountered, limb position, pressure sensed on the palms of the hands, and so on. This communication between central and peripheral nervous systems, utilizing the motor and sensory nerve pathways, is essential for us to learn, modify, and successfully perform both simple…

Homeobox, or HOX genes are genes that determine organ and limb formation during early embryonic development. Frances R. Goodman writes in Limb Malformations and the Human HOX Genes that humans have 39 HOX genes that are organized into four clusters that have their own roles in the development of the central nervous system, axial skeleton, genitalia, and limbs. HOX genes were first discovered through mutation in fruit flies, which led to further research with HOX genes in other vertebrates. The…

Similar to Balanchine, flexibility and épaulement-placing of the upper body-are continually worked into Forsythe’s choreography, to present torsions and tilts of the body’s axis. Forsythe believes, “...épaulement is our secret weapon in ballet. It’s not really the positions, but the torsions of them, which comes from…

of a novice will be compared to those of an expert to analyze this popular serve. Overall Movement Pattern The topspin jump serve makes use of the entire body. Every limb is active in some way or another. Because the focus of this project is on the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints, the emphasis will be on the muscles in the upper body. The rotator cuff muscles are extremely active because they stabilize the humeral head in the glenoid fossa and maintain proper positioning of the scapula in…

The present study consists of 100 road traffic injury cases admitted in our tertiary health care centre. In the present study males victims (84 cases, 84%) outnumbered the females victims (16 cases, 16%) with an approximate male female ratio of 5:1. Four wheelers and two wheelers involving mainly pedestrians were the most common cause for fatal head injury seen in 66 cases, 66%. Multiple abrasions were the most commonly seen external injury, seen in 68 cases, 68%. Skull bone fracture was seen in…
