    to irregular or asymmetric adduction (closing) of the vocal folds. Noise impairs the clarity of the vocal note and too much noise is perceived as hoarseness. The Harmonics-to-Noise (HNR) ratio is a measure of the proportion of harmonic sound to noise in the voice measured in decibels. (Ferrand, 2007). HNR quantifies the relative amount of additive noise (Awen & Frankel, 1994) The lower the HNR, the more noise in the voice. Laryngeal pathology may lead to poor adduction of the vocal folds and, therefore

    action for the upper part of this muscle is to elecate the scapula and extend the head at neck. The intended action for the Middle part of this muscle is to create elevation upward rotation and adduction of the scapula. The intended action for the lowerpart of this muscle is to create depression adduction, upward rotation of the scapula. Workouts that target these areas would be Barbell Shrugs, Cable shrugs and Dumbbell Shrug. The Rhomboid Orgin is located near the spinous process of C7 and T1-T5

    Introductory Something that humans all have in common, is aging. Every single one of us ages and as we age a lot of us get to have a friend along the way. That friend is aching pain. This aching pain can stem from a certain disease, named osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is “the most common rheumatic disease, primarily affecting the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone of a synovial joint, eventually resulting in joint failure.” (Fransen, 2015) Chances are that someone close to you has osteoarthritis

    ACL Injury in Basketball Women playing basketball are more likely to experience ACL injuries than their male counterparts. Many biomechanical researches indicate that ACL injuries increase the danger of suffering resultant injuries such as osteoarthritis and meniscal tears. Meniscal tears and osteoarthritis occur faster in persons with ACL constructed knees and ACL-deficiency. Genetic consequences of ACL injury, monetary implications, surgery and rehabilitation have prompted current progression of
