Vertebral subluxation

Scientist shouldn’t test products on animals because it could hurt animals and it can possibly kill them. If scientist do the testing to animals the spinal devices are frequently composed of pedicle screws with a reputation for stable fixation. The animals can suffer from pullouts during preclinical implantation on young animals, leading to high morbidity. Human and animals are very different, which testing human tools on animals should not be allowed. Testing on an animal the results will be…

Introduction Spinal stenosis is a condition which involves the narrowing of the vertebral column, either in the spinal canal, intervertebral foramina, or the intervertebral spaces. The condition is degenerative and widespread, affecting approximately five in every one thousand people (Hsiang, 2015). This report aims to describe the anatomy of the vertebral column and spinal cord, relating changes in anatomy to the development and presentation of spinal stenosis. Within this discussion, the…

"Goldfish" - an exercise that will become the salvation for your spine. It is known that the spine should be kept. If she is healthy - healthy and whole body. The famous Japanese healer Kacudzo Nishi always said that the reason for all diseases should be sought in the spine. It is warm all recommended daily practice exercises "Goldfish". This exercise strengthens the spine and has a positive influence on the general condition of man. What is the uniqueness of this exercise? Exercise "Goldfish"…

The disease of the skeletal system I chose was plasmacytoma (with some mentions of myeloma). My article includes a case study with a 44yr old male named Mr.J. He had a complaint of lower back pain during his four-week follow-up. He is a very active and healthy male based on his diet and exercise. During the physical examination, he showed no signs of distress. Mr.J did have tenderness in the lumbar region, but no lesions were noted here. Everything else about him appeared normal with normal…

• Describe ossification in fetal development. During development, the fetal bones are made up of cartilaginous tissue, which is like osseous tissue, except it is more flexible. The absence of calcium salts in its intercellular spaces makes it less dense. As development continues, the process of the depositing of calcium salts into the cartilaginous tissue occurs, and continues throughout their life. Ossification is the gradual replacement of cartilage and its intercellular substance by bone…

Optokinetic and electromagnetic systems are widely used in laboratory settings to monitor three -dimensional (3-D) motion. These systems are accurate, but they have certain limitations like high cost, more space requirements and set–up issues. These limitations make them impractical for use at home[2].Miniature movement sensor modules[10] use accelerometers, rate gyroscopes and magnetometers to estimate 3-D orientation. These devices are more complicated and delicate to use at home by a…

There are multiple forms of flexibility testing that can be used created on the general outcome you are looking to achieve. These tests can range from Trunk and Lower Body (hamstring test, Straight Leg Raise, Modified Thomas Test, V-Sit test, Kraus Webber Floor Touch Test, Groin Flexibility test, calf muscle flexibility test, Trunk Rotation Test, Sit and reach, Back scratch test V sit-and-reach test) to upper body consisting of Shoulder Flexion (Shoulder Stretch, Back Scratch Test, Shoulder…

The biggest differences between the vertebrae in the spine, are shape and secondary functionality. The cervical vertebrae are the smallest, they are the most flexible allowing the biggest range of head movement. The only vertebra containing no vertebral body, the axis, is located in the cervical vertebrae. Thoracic vertebrae are mid sized, and the physical shape of the thoracic vertebrae are the most rigid because they connect the ribcage and torso to the spine. Thoracic vertebrae are the only…

Scoliosis is an ailment that affects the spine. The article “Assessment and Treatment of Scoliosis” focuses on three main questions. How should the GP assess a child with scoliosis? What is the natural history of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis? What is likely to happen to patients referred to orthopedic surgeons (Assessment, 2002)? After learning about the causes, history, and about referrals to orthopedic surgeons the article focuses on treatment options. The next step of the article is…

The spinal cord is ¾ of an inch wide and 42-45 centimeters in length. It extends inferiorly from the medulla oblongata to the inferior border of the L1 vertebrae. The spinal cord is divided into 5 parts that house the 31 pairs of spinal nerves. The cervical part is the superior part of the spinal cord. It contains neurons whose axons contribute to the 8 pairs of cervical spinal nerves. The thoracic part lies inferior to the cervical part. It houses the neurons for the 12 pairs of thoracic spinal…
