Chapter 11, Problem 10CRCAQ
An athletic trainer was examining a college basketball player to find the site of a pulled muscle. The trainer asked the athlete to extend her thigh forcefully at the hip, but she found this action too painful to perform. Then the trainer palpated her posterior thigh and felt some swelling of the muscles there. In the simplest terms, which basic muscle group was injured?

suppose your friend had a condition where each muscle had only one motor unit controlling it. how would their attempts to contract their muscles be different?
Following an injury to a nerve, the muscle it supplies with motor nerve fibers may become paralyzed. How would you explain to a patient the importance of moving the disabled muscles passively or contracting them using electrical stimulation?
Your patient, Ms. Young, presents to physical therapy for evaluation and treatment of painful muscle spasms (sustained muscle contractions) in the muscles of her right shoulder. You notice upon evaluation that Ms. Young has decreased strength in her right shoulder compared with her left shoulder, which has no muscle spasms. Explain this finding. (Hint: Is a muscle in the spasm at its natural length?
