Deep Digital Muscle

Flexor Digitorum Superficialis - It's attachments are the medial epicondyle. When it contracts it causes flexion in fingers

Shoulder flexion/extension; Elbow flexion and extension; Use of the lower and upper back. Muscles involved include the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, deltoids and the pectorals.

The major muscle groups consist of the upper body, Rotator cuff muscle, Upper arm, Quadriceps, Hamstring group, Lower leg and Midsection. The Upper Body consists of the Trapezious muscle which Orgin is located near the base of skull, occipital protuberance and posterior ligaments of neck. The middle spinous process of 7c and T1 - T3. The lower spinous process of T4-T12. The insertion of the upper Trapezius is located in the posterial aspect of the lateral clavicle. The middle Trapezius is located in the medial border

The median nerve and several tendons run from your forearm to your hand through a small space in your wrist called the carpal tunnel camera.gif. The median nerve controls movement and feeling camera.gif

The axillary nerve connects the main shoulder muscle (deltoid) to an arm bone (humerus) and three arm muscles (teres minor, teres major, triceps). The humerus and these four muscles muscles form a space in the back of the shoulder. This space is where the axillary nerve is located.

The insertion point is at the flat tendon 2 or 3 inches wide to the outer lip of the intertuberculer. The clavicular action of the pectoralis major is internal rotation, horizontal adduction, flexion abduction and adduction. The sternal pectoralis major has an origin on the anterior surfaces of costal cartilage of the first 6 ribs and adjacent portion of the sternum. The sternal insertion is the groove of the humerus. The intended action of the sternal pectoralis major is internal rotation, horizontal adduction, extension, and adduction of the glenohumeral joint. An example from the radioulnar joint is the brachialis. Its origin is the distal half of the anterior portion of the humerus, and the insertion point is the coronoid process of the ulna. The brachialis intended action is flexion of the elbow. The hip joint and pelvic girdle work with multiple muscles including gluteus maximus and semitendinosus muscle. The origin of the gluteus maximus is the posterior ¼ of the crest of the ilium, the posterior surface of the sacrum and coccyx near the illium, and fascia of the lumbar area. The point of insertion is the oblique ridge on the lateral surface of the greater trochanter and iliotibial band of fasciae. The intended action of

Our body has three muscle types, skeletal muscle , cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Each muscle has different functions within the body. Cardiac muscle is located in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood within the heart. Cardiac muscle is one of the two muscles with an activity that is non-voluntary meaning that signal from the motor neuron is not required for blood to pump through the heart. The second type of muscle is smooth muscle which is located in the intestines and responsible for moving food and regulating blood pressure(Freeman, 2011). Like cardiac muscle, smooth muscle also requires non-voluntary activity, where the signal from the motor neurons is not required for it to function properly. Lastly, the most important muscle in the neuromuscular junction, skeletal muscles. Skeletal muscle is attached to the bones through tendons composed of connective tissue and is responsible for moving the skeleton, however unlike the other two muscle types, skeletal muscle requires voluntary activity meaning that signal from the motor neurons is required (Ritchison, 2016). In this paper, I will be discussing the functions and parts of the neuromuscular

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist. It happens when too much pressure is put on the median nerve. The median nerve runs through a structure at the wrist called the carpal tunnel, which is where the syndrome gets its name. Sometimes the carpal tunnel (which is made up of the carpal bones and the transverse ligament) will narrow, due to swelling, and that is how the median nerve gets squeezed. This condition is usually progressive (it will continue to get worse over time) and the symptoms involve numbness and pain in the wrist and hand. Sometimes the pain will also spread up into the arm (Sartore).

There are 8 small bones known as carpal bones of the wrist. A ligament (also known as retinaculum) is located in front of the wrist. Between this muscle and carpal bones in a space called the carpal tunnel. The muscles that attach the forewarn muscles to the fingers that passed through the carpal tunnel. A main nerve to the hand (median nerve) also passes through this tunnel before dividing into smaller divisions in the palm of your hand.

Many injuries result from the shoulder as it in an area that is used often. Since I am a physical therapist, a client came to me with the issues that they were having with their shoulder. This is a report of my interaction with the patient, as well as informing the patient as they showed an interest in my profession. Covering all the aspects of the education and certifications required to be a physical therapist, as well as an overview and a salary median, and then moving on to the injury by naming and explaining the anatomy and diagnosing the injury, and the treatment and recovery plan.

Thus, CTS can be triggered by hormonal changes, underlying musculoskeletal disorders and diseases that cause fluid retention. Carpal tunnel syndrome also has a genetic predisposition as it runs in families. The transverse carpal ligament, also known as the flexor retinaculum, and the carpal bones of the wrist form the carpal tunnel. The structures that pass through the flexor retinaculum include the median nerve and nine flexor tendons from the forearm Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when excess pressure to the median nerve occurs, causing entrapment and peripheral neuropathy (Dunphy, Winland-Brown, Porter, & Thomas, 2015). The resulting symptoms may occur in the hand and

The extensor tendons are muscles that allow your fingers and thumbs to extend. The location of this muscle is right under the skin at the back of your finger. The location of the muscle can cause problems because if the finger is bent back to the palm the muscle can tear. The most common name for this injury is baseball finger also known as mallet finger. When this tendon is damaged the top of your finger

The “quadrupled hamstring autograft” is obtained by harvesting the semitendinosus and the gracilis tendons at the pes anserinus and then folding them over twice to create 4 strands. Failure, however can be prevented using a graft that is significantly stronger than the native ACL, and graft strength has been found to be directly propotional to the cross-sectional area of the graft.

tendons. For example, people who are sat at a computer all day may not necessarily be using the

In anatomy, biceps is the common name for the biceps brachii muscle, which is a muscle between the shoulder and elbow. The name of the muscle originates from the Latin phrase musculus biceps brachii, which translates to a “two-headed muscle of the arm”. As the Latin terms bis and caput mean “double” and “head” respectively, the term biceps indicates that the muscle has two “heads” of origin and a single insertion point near the elbow joint. The short head of the biceps originates from the coracoid process of the scapula, whereas the long head originates from the supraglenoid
