  2. Spencer technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_technique

    The Spencer technique (also known as the "7 stages of Spencer") is an articulatory technique used in Osteopathic medicine to help relieve restriction and pain at the shoulder. [1] Although variations exist, normally 7 steps are included. [2] Indications for the Spencer technique include adhesive capsulitis. [3] The following is a common ...

  3. Lower-limb walking pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower-limb_walking_pattern

    This max extension takes place right before toe off. The hip flexors then concentrically act to initiate hip flexion for swing phase. Overall, approximately 30 degrees of flexion and 10 degrees of extension (from neutral) are needed at the hip joint for a normal walking pattern.

  4. Obligatory synergies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obligatory_synergies

    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. [1]

  5. Shoulder joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_joint

    The rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder produce a high tensile force, and help to pull the head of the humerus into the glenoid cavity. The glenoid cavity is shallow and contains the glenoid labrum which deepens it and aids stability. With 120 degrees of unassisted flexion, the shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body.

  6. Glenohumeral ligaments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenohumeral_ligaments

    The most important ligament involved in shoulder joint stability is the Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament. During abduction of the arm, the middle and inferior ligaments become taut while the superior ligament relaxes. The radius of curvature of the head of the humerus is greater superiorly than inferiorly, which further stretches these ligaments ...

  7. Rotator cuff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff

    Passive exercises include internal and external rotation of the shoulder joint, as well as flexion and extension of the shoulder. [26] A 2019 Cochrane Systematic Review found with a high degree of certainty that subacromial decompression surgery does not improve pain, function, or quality of life compared with a placebo surgery. [23]

  8. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    A woman exercising. In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking.This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.

  9. Rounded shoulder posture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounded_shoulder_posture

    A 1992 study concluded that 73% of workers aged 20 to 50 years have a right rounded shoulder, [3] and 66% of them have a left rounded shoulder. [3] It is commonly believed that digitalisation [ 4 ] combined with the improper use of digital devices have resulted in the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to bad posture.
