By looking at the fetal pig and its muscle structure, researchers and individuals are able to gain a better understanding of what human muscles look like, where they are located, and how they function. The muscles that were labeled in the dissection are important factors in the movement of the individual. The muscles work together though antagonism. Antagonism works when one muscle, such as the extensor carpi radialis contracts, and the flexor carpi radialis relaxes, allowing the hand to extend.…

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles in the shoulder, connecting the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula).

SERF stands for stability through external rotation of the femur. This strap is made of thin elastic and is applied around the thigh, knee, and lower leg to pull the hip into…
Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament The anterior tibiofibular ligament is often referred to as the high ankle ligament, and it is the one that is damaged when the foot is stuck on the ground and rotated inwardly. The ankle is a hinge joint that connects the foot and the leg, allowing up and down movement. The tibia and fibula bones of the leg form a slot where the talus bone of the foot fits between them. The talus is held to the tibia and fibula by ligaments. Anterior Tibiofibular Ligament The…
For my written critique, I chose to talk about an AP pelvis and surgical lateral hip image that I performed on my ER days’ rotation. My patient complained of entire right hip pain. The patient stated that he had heard a loud popping sound when he stood up earlier that day. He had not walked since. The patient suffers from frequent hip dislocations and was positive that he had dislocated it once again. The patient stated that he had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, with juvenile rheumatoid…
