Upper limb

person who has long upper limbs tends to be tall and vice versa. The length of a person’s arm in centimeter is equal to 40% of his or her height in centimeter. Materials needed for this experiment are the calculator, metric stick or measuring tape, and 5 students. The formula to calculate the expected arm length is the height in centimeter times 0.4. If the experiment could be done again, the subjects could all be boys' upper limb length and height or could all be girls’ upper limb length and height

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

Primary Diagnosis: Fractures of upper limb. Secondary Diagnosis: Muscular dystrophies and other myopathies. It was unclear how SSA determined the primary diagnosis “Fractures of Upper Limb” (code 8180) in this case. No record was found indicating that the claimant had a fracture of the upper extremities after the CPD. In addition to muscular dystrophy, the claimant had a motor vehicle accident on 04/05/2008 and sustained the following injuries: Traumatic brain injury with subarachnoid hemorrhage

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

Bullet Analysis #1 Langan J, DeLave K, Phillips L, Pangilinan P, Brown SH. Home-Based Telerehabilitation Shows Improved Upper Limb Function in Adults with Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study. Journal of rehabilitation medicine. 2013;45(2):217-220. doi:10.2340/16501977-1115 What did the researchers study and why? • Technology-based rehabilitation for stroke patients with chronic upper-limb conditions • Testing the success of telerehabilitation training • The potential for expansion of physical therapy to

the upper and lower extremity of stroke patients improve unilateral visual neglect more than mirror therapy exclusively performed on the upper extremity? Abstract Background and Purpose. Stroke patients with visual neglect can be treated with mirror therapy to improve neglect and function. Previous studies have shown improvement of neglect and function in stroke patients who are given mirror therapy on the upper extremity only. This research will exam whether mirror therapy of both the upper and

musculoskeletal disorderd and video display terminal and also occupational psychosocial stress among women office workers using a self administered questionnaire. He demonstrated that non users who used to previously work on computers experienced only upper limb musculoskeletal disorders whereas employees who do not work on computers are less prone to these symptoms. He then suggested that employees should reduce the usage of the visual display

Because of the capabilities of this prosthetic, it is very beneficial for those individuals who are physically active. However, the DynamicArm is suitable for almost all individuals with upper arm or shoulder amputations. Both single and double amputees can benefit from this prosthetic, but compared to other upper extremity prosthetics, the DynamicArm is more beneficial for double amputees. The DynamicArm is suitable for a variety of individuals, regardless of their

the quality of movements and helping clients relearn normal movements (Schultz-Krohn, Pope-Davis, & Mclaughlin-Gray, 2014, p. 804). To achieve the key objectives therapist use techniques such as handling techniques, weight bearing over the affected limb, use of positions that encourage the use of both sides of the body,

It was believed that the decisive 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
