Muscles of the upper limb

patients’ quality of life2. Patients with stroke are unable to carry out their activities of daily living3. Despite extensive rehabilitation, the affected upper extremity is severely impaired in more than half individuals with stroke. The loss of input from the corticospinal system after stroke reduces the ability to selectively activate sets of muscles needed to perform skilled motor task. The recovery process after an episode of stroke has been shown to include the formation of new synaptic connections

the muscle activity of three upper limb muscles (forearm, biceps, and triceps) during back holding movement with three kilogram weight of dumbbell. The results of studies provide evidence that performing shoulder flexion in the back holding activity produces significantly greater muscle activity in the biceps muscle. This is because, biceps muscle contains more tissue compare to another two muscle (forearm and triceps). Besides, the size of biceps muscle greater than forearm and triceps muscle. So

like computed tomography or expensive as magnetic resonance.Butlimitedresearchersused ultrasound imaging in reporting changes in trunk muscles of stroke patients with age-matched individuals (Seo et al., 2015). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the change in transversus abdominis (TrA) and lumbar multifidus (LM) activities as intrinsic postural muscles during stand-to-sit task in subacute stroke

‘your arms might have trouble lifting your body all way around through the air’. Body Parts and muscles that supporting in doing Gymnast Core Legs Arm, Chest and Back Forearms and Neck Muscles Core Abdominal & Pelvic muscle are used in every moment. Abdominal usually use every moment, every time they move, every time they dance. Pelvic muscle usually use when we're walking but this is one of the muscle that we used to split on & dance all the way in the air & in the ground. Legs Femur, patella

Participation in sports can affect the upper body extremity in a positive or negative way. Sport injuries of the upper limbs can happen while playing amateur or professional sports. In the article entitled: Sports Injuries of the Upper Limbs, provides the reader with information on the common types of injuries and a treatment plan for each. The article evaluates the management of upper limb tendon injuries from the physiopathology and the new methods of injury treatment that are common in Brazil

which can regenerate their entire appendages. This intricately regulated process is mediated by the formation of the blastema. While much has been learned about limb regeneration in the past decades, several underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. A recent study by Sandoval-Guzman and colleagues has shed light on the regeneration of muscle in such salamander species. This review will briefly discuss the findings of the paper and compare the strengths and limitations of each research model. To

edging ever closer to this vision in a field known as biomechatronics. Many people around the world take their limbs for granted; some people have lost or have impaired limbs due to trauma, disease or birth defects. Scientist are edging closer to developing biomechatronic; merging man with machine. Bimechatronic scientists attempt to make electronic devices that interact with the body’s muscles and nervous system with the aim to enhance human movement. Dr. Hugh Herr, a leading scientist and his team

Cerebral Palsy – Orthotic Treatment of the Upper Limb Cerebral Palsy (CP) is an example of an upper motor neurone lesion and a general term for a group of neurological conditions that affect movement and co-ordination. It affects around 1 in 400 people, occurring in utero or the first few years of life. Multiple parts of the brain can be affected, resulting in different types and severities. Approximately 80% have upper limb involvement with problems in the wrist and hand being most frequent, which

body tissue and internal organs. The skeletal system function is to form a shield or a solid framework that supports and protects the body’s organs and skeletal muscles. Each bone is a complex living organ that is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals. Further more the skeletal system provides attachment points for muscles to allow movements at the joints. Overall the importance of the skeletal system is that it acts as a guard or shield that protect the brain and internal organs.

wrist and hand pain or overuse injuries are extremely prevalent in wheelchair athletes as they rely entirely on the upper limbs for ambulation and weight bearing (Apple, Cody, & Allen, 1996). As a consequence of the accumulation of stresses being placed on the joints in the upper extremity of wheelchair athletes during tasks of competition, training and day to day life, the upper limbs and in particular the shoulder appear commonly injured.(Churton & Keogh, 2013). Churton and Keogh (2013) determined
