Adduction

Functions of the muscular system: The muscular system has many functions. There are 5 main functions. Firstly, it allows us to balance via proprio receptors. In terms of balance, not only do you rely on the two sensory organs in your inner ear but also receptors in your muscles and tendons help your body to balance. The receptors in your muscles and tendons are called proprio receptors, these proprio receptors detect how stretched your joints, tendons and muscles are. Secondly it allows movement

As previously reported, Ms. Noid referred herself for a voice evaluation because of a chronic, persistent dysphonia characterized by “severe hoarseness and breathiness.” She had a recent ENT report indicating a “left adductor vocal cord paralysis” which is paralyzed in the intermediate position. Furthermore, she has reported that her symptoms have persisted for 18 months, eliminating the possibility of an idiopathic etiology. After completing a voice evaluation, recommendations for medical clearance

The flexor digitorum which is on the anterior forearm arises from the medial epicondyle of the humerus by the common tendon. The flexor digitorum lies between the superficial and deep groups. In the anterior fingers, which inserts on the sides of the middle phalanges, splits at the level of the proximal phalanges, permitting the deeper tendons of the FDP to pass on through to the bases of the distal phalanges. It is from the intermuscular septa between it and the adjacent muscles, and from the antebrachial

Pathology As stated previously, the proteins, a1-chimaerin and a2-chimaerin, are important in the facilitation of neural growth. The a2-chimaerin protein regulates the movement between the different neurons, so that neural structures can develop properly. When a mutation takes place in the CHN1 gene, it causes the a2-chimaerin to not work properly. This mutation causes some of the nerves that are created by the CHN1 proteins to either be underdeveloped or missing altogether. Jeon-Min Hwang and associates

Flexion - Otherwise known as bending, this is when the angle that is present between articulating bones is decreased such as the angle betweem the humerus and the radius/ulnar bones of the arm/forearm. When there is flexion at the elbow joint, the angle between the humerus and the radius/ulnar bones decreases and results in flexion Extension - This is the opposite of flexion where the angle of the articulating bones actually increases. For example, if the arm is straightened at the elbow joint, the

stabilizer during fine motor coordination activities. OTS performed 10 reps of scapular elevation, depression, protraction and retraction, shoulder flexion, elbow flexion, wrist flexion, and thumb interphalangeal (IP) flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and finger 2-5 distal interphalangeal (DIP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) flexion, extension,

Objective: To compare the effect of the Protonics knee brace and Hamstring Resisted Exercise (HRE) on anterior pelvic tilt, hip internal rotation and adduction, and knee pain in subjects with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). Design: A prospective, single-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial Setting: Orthopedic lab at Loma Linda University (Nichol Hall, Room A620) Subjects: 50 participants with PFPS between 18 and 45 years of age, with patellofemoral pain Syndrome for more than 1 month

How can our daily lives be if we only whispered? What about having a breathy or strained voice? For many, these questions do not come across when communicating. Yet, several do not realize the different types of voice problems that individuals have. Day by day numerous people are being diagnosed with Spasmodic Dysphonia. The majority do not understand what it is or how it can be treated. Researchers have begun conducting studies to identify brainstem functions with patients with Spasmodic Dysphonia

of the scapula bone(shoulder blade). The six main movements of the shoulders are: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation. Flexion is when the upper arm is elevated forward toward the face. Extension is when the arm moves backward behind the plane of the body. Abduction is when the arm moves up and out to the side away from the body. Adduction is when the arm is pulled in towards the side of

When it contracts it causes Extension in the thumb. And, is also one of the tendons of anatomical snuff box. Abductor Pollicis Longus - It's attachments are the ulnar shaft, interosseous membrane and first metacarpal. When it contracts it causes adduction in the
