The biceps brachii primarily serves to supinate the forearm at the elbow joint. [1] The muscle belly is composed of two heads. The short head is more medial and highlighted in green. The long head is more lateral and highlighted in red. A biceps tendon rupture or bicep tear is a complete or partial rupture of a tendon of the biceps brachii muscle.
The benefits of physical therapy for animals have been widely accepted in the veterinary community for many years. [10] [11] [12] However, clinical practice of physical therapy for animals is a relatively new field in the U.S. In Europe, equine and canine physical therapy have been widely recommended and used for at least the last fifteen years ...
A SLAP tear or SLAP lesion is an injury to the superior glenoid labrum (fibrocartilaginous rim attached around the margin of the glenoid cavity in the shoulder blade) that initiates in the back of the labrum and stretches toward the front into the attachment point of the long head of the biceps tendon.
The biceps muscle has two heads, the short head and the long head, distinguished according to their origin at the coracoid process and supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, respectively. [1] From its origin on the glenoid, the long head remains tendinous as it passes through the shoulder joint and through the intertubercular groove of the ...
Bicipital tenosynovitis is tendinitis or inflammation of the tendon and sheath lining of the biceps muscle. It is often the result of many years of small tears or other degenerative changes in the tendon first manifesting in middle age, but can be due to a sudden injury.
Because adhesive capsulitis is a condition that produces stiffness and causes the capsule of the glenohumeral joint to become thickened and progressively contract, it is important to exercise regularly to increase the range of motion and decrease the pain. Physical therapy is recommended to provide a treatment for the condition.
It has been used in the treatment of cerebral palsy. [2] It has also been used for hammer toe. [3] As an alternative to SLAP lesion labral repair, the tendon of the long head of the bicep can be released. [4] Achilles tenotomy is commonly used as part of the Ponseti Method of treating clubfoot. [citation needed]
The McKenzie method is a technique primarily used in physical therapy.It was developed in the late 1950s by New Zealand physiotherapist Robin McKenzie. [1] [2] [3] In 1981 he launched the concept which he called "Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT)" – a system encompassing assessment, diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities.
