It was developed by the Swedish physical therapist Signe Brunnström, and emphasises the synergic pattern of movement which develops during recovery. This approach encourages development of flexor and extensor synergies during early recovery, with the intention that synergic activation of muscles will, with training, transition into voluntary ...
Obligatory synergy patterns are observed when a patient tries to make a minimal voluntary movement, or as a result of stimulated reflexes. [1] The flexion synergy for the upper extremity includes scapular retraction and elevation, shoulder abduction and external rotation, elbow flexion, forearm supination, and wrist and finger flexion.

{{Muscles of the upper limb | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Muscles of the upper limb | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible. This template is a navigation box relating to anatomy that provides links to related topics. When editing the links in ...
Distal muscular dystrophy, also called distal myopathy, is essentially any muscle disease that preferentially affects the hands and/or feet, a much less common pattern than proximal muscle weakness. Late adult-onset type 1; Late adult-onset type 2a; Late adult-onset type 2b; Early adult-onset type 1; Early adult-onset type 2; Early adult-onset ...
The anterior border and upper surface of the lateral third of the clavicle, acromion, spine of the scapula: Insertion: Deltoid tuberosity of humerus: Artery: Thoracoacromial artery, anterior and posterior humeral circumflex artery: Nerve: Axillary nerve: Actions: Shoulder abduction, flexion and extension: Antagonist: Latissimus dorsi ...
The radial nerve is a nerve in the human body that supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb.It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm and the associated joints and overlying skin.
The taller the child is the longer the stride will be and the further the step will be. Gait patterns are velocity and age dependent. For example, as age increases so does velocity. Meanwhile, as age increases, the cadence (rate at which someone walks that is measured in steps per minute) of the gait pattern decreases.
Cutaneous innervation of the upper limbs is the nerve supply to areas of the skin of the upper limbs (including the arm, forearm, and hand) which are supplied by specific cutaneous nerves. Modern texts are in agreement about which areas of the skin are served by which cutaneous nerves, but there are minor variations in some of the details.
