Arm hair

Rough. Leather? Maybe burlap. No, definitely leather. Steel buckles holding said leather shut. What was it strapped to though? Oh. You remember now. It was you. You vaguely remember the feeling of rough leather against your ankles, thighs, chest, lower arms, wrists, biceps, and throat. But why? Why were you being restrained? You don’t remember struggling with anyone or anything. You just remember lying there silently. Why were you silent? You used to be very talkative. Odd. Oh. There was another strap

From 1991 over one-sixth of Bhutan’s people flee their country and take a shelter in Nepal, India and other countries around the world. The large populations of Bhutanese refugee are called lhotshamps, an ethnic group, who were forced to leave their country in the early 1990s. Among 105,000 Bhutanese I’m one of them. I was born in a hut made of bamboo, food rations, and dirt roads. We are hostile, unsettled, unsure of who we are and what future held for us. I often think can we ever able to get rid

to make this examination process thorough, but efficient. A hypothesis that can be made from the patient’s report is that she is suffering from cervical radiculopathy, or a nerve root lesion. Symptoms that describe cervical radiculopathy include: arm pain in a

An approach of designing exoskeleton arm is synthesized by all dynamic forces and stress of arm .A musculoskeletal arm model is built to simulate the injury symptom in terms of evaluating the muscle activations, by using related commercial design software and also specific biomechanics software is used for analyzing the exoskeleton . A stimulation platform is created by synthesizing a biomechanical model of human body and the exoskeleton which allows and evaluates the functioning and effects of

factor for designing a robotic arm is its inexpensiveness and friendly interfacing with the user. Teleoperated master-slave anthropomorphic robotic arm with the single axis revolute joints having six degree of freedom was designed [13]. The master used the human machine interface (HMI) to operate in RTOS. The master incorporated the motion capture devices, such as vision sensors to transform the motion into analog voltages so as to actuate the exoskeleton robotic arm. The human machine interface comprised

The experimenters, from the Journal of Neuroengineering and Rehabilitation, use this study to explain how patients who had a stroke and are experiencing an upper extremity functional deficit can benefit from virtual reality rehabilitation. Upper extremity functional deficit can include weakness, coordination problems, swelling, changes of muscle tone and changes in sensation. Patients are given high intensity repetitive task specific training to help improve the deficit, and it does work. But the

Erb’s palsy is a form of brachial plexus palsy. Brachial plexus palsy occurs when nerves in the brachial plexus get damaged and signals cannot travel in their normal pattern from the brain to the arm muscles. This causes paralysis (palsy) or weakness in the arm (brachial) region, as well as atrophy of the deltoid, biceps, and brachialis muscles. About two out of every 1,000 babies have this condition and it often occurs during birth when the infant’s neck is stretched during

creating a constant droning sound as it hit the forest floor in a million different places at once. Leaves flailed not from wind, but from the impact of droplets. Then I looked at the factory of pain that was my arm, and remembered everythung that happened. Knife. He took my knife. And broke my arm. How did I get in a tree? The last thing I recalled was blacking out due to his godforsaken magic, and that was at night. Now, I was

During unilateral training, production of increased intracortical facilitation and reduced intracortical inhibition in the contralateral hemisphere occurs (Waller & Whitall, 2008). Additionally, Waller & Whitall (2008) state that when the less affected arm is performing a task, continued inhibition of the ipsilateral CM cells occurs, preventing the undamaged hemisphere from creating a template that is needed to regain movement for the more affected upper

4. Step 6 and step 7 both resulted in a +1 score due to the repetitiveness of the process and the weight of the objects handled by the employee. Step 8 consisted of adding the values of steps 5-7 (4+1+1 respectively) to indicate an overall wrist/arm score of 6. Step 9 (Neck Position) resulted in a +2 because the employee’s neck primarily stayed within the 0-20 degree range. Step 10 (Trunk Position) in a +3 because the individual was bent forward at a 20-60 degree angle. Step 11 (Legs) resulted
