date. He reports low back pain and bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy along the posterior of the thighs to the knees. Pain is rated as 8/10. On examination, there is moderate loss of extension, with increased radicular symptoms. Repeated flexion increased axial spine pain. Repeated extension increased radicular pain. There is significant tightness

Part I – The Slopes Questions 1. What mechanisms did Elaine’s body employ to maintain homeostasis? The inability to maintain homeostasis would cause Elaine’s body tissues metabolic rate to decline as well as inhibit the neural transmission and thus limit the control that she has over her body (Giesbrecht and Wilkerson 24). Since Elaine is conscious her bodies response to the cold environment. This allows her to initiate shivering which increases metabolism, ventilation, heart rate, and cardiac output

also relationship between baseline handgrip strength and disability for activities of daily living (ADL). Handgrip strength is a good and simple measure of muscle strength, and it is well correlated with leg strength (Fox et al., 2015) 2) knee flexion/extension Strength can be measured either isometrically or isokinetically, the latter is closer reflection of muscle function in daily activity. Isometric strength of maximum voluntary contractions can be measured with simple custom-made equipment

Robert Trinh is a 34 year-old senior truck driver referred to your outpatient physical therapy office for “chronic low back pain” which started 7 months ago. He was lifting a particularly heavy load that day and felt something “tweaked” in his low back as he was bent over and moving the load from the truck into the sidewalk.

Introduction In regards to mobility, the glenohumeral (GH) joint is one of the best the human body has to offer. It allows for the range of motion needed for the activities of daily living that we have all grown accustomed to. In order to execute these motions, however, the shoulder joint needs a stable base of support. This is one of the primary roles of the scapula and its surrounding musculature. When the GH joint is injured, however, scapular muscle-activation, and therefore stability and function

upper quadrant nervous system. In a study performed on 60 healthy university students with no musculoskeletal conditions, Hyong and Kang2 found that passive hamstring stretching had a statistically significant increase in the participant cervical flexion and extension range of motion (ROM). The participants had measurements taken

In the field of athletic training, music can be used for psychological purposes, and athletic trainers are now entering performing arts for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

indicating the worst pain and fatigue. A thigh and calf circumference was conducted by tape measurements for the pre-marked sites that was distinguished before the exercise started. Then a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of knee extension and plantar flexion was assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer, and finally, blood samples were taken by using the antecubital vein to determine different components of blood with serum and plasma samples obtained by a centrifugation. As discussed in the article, all

Pilates was the group fitness culture and physical activity that was chosen. This video exercise was very intense and I had to take many breaks to keep up with the elements of this exercise. Breathing and getting into correct positioning were areas of the Pilates exercise that I definitely needed improvement on. Portions of this exercise were difficult for this slightly overweight man to do. I had a hard time with lifting, stretching, and moving my legs while lying on my back. I could see potential
