PPIVM is used as an assessment technique to assist with identifying the location, nature, severity and irritability of vertebral symptoms. They can be used to test for cervical or lumbar joint hypermobility or instability, or whether a joint is locked. PPIVM assessments test the movement available at a specific spinal level through the ...
Its primary function is the flexion of the fingers, and this is used as the clinical test for C8 integrity, in conjunction with the finger jerk reflex. [ 4 ] The particular muscles receive innervation from C8 [ 3 ] (shown by specific nerve and spinal nerve segments; muscles in italics only have a minor contribution from C8) :
Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]
The SSIM index is a full reference metric; in other words, the measurement or prediction of image quality is based on an initial uncompressed or distortion-free image as reference. SSIM is a perception -based model that considers image degradation as perceived change in structural information, while also incorporating important perceptual ...
Romberg's test, Romberg's sign, or the Romberg maneuver is a test used in an exam of neurological function for balance.. The exam is based on the premise that a person requires at least two of the three following senses to maintain balance while standing:
Cox Flexion-Distraction is a decompression–focused procedure that utilizes specialized adjusting tables with movable parts. These tables stretch and decompress the spine's facets and ligaments in a gentle rocking motion.
The straight leg raise is a test that can be performed during a physical examination, with the leg being lifted actively by the patient or passively by the clinician. If the straight leg raise is done actively by the patient, it is a test of functional leg strength, particularly the rectus femoris element of the quadriceps (checking both hip flexion and knee extension strength simultaneously).
Visual information fidelity (VIF) is a full reference image quality assessment index based on natural scene statistics and the notion of image information extracted by the human visual system. [1] It was developed by Hamid R Sheikh and Alan Bovik at the Laboratory for Image and Video Engineering (LIVE) at the University of Texas at Austin in 2006
