  2. Parallel compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_compression

    Parallel compression, also known as New York compression, is a dynamic range compression technique used in sound recording and mixing. Parallel compression, a form of upward compression , is achieved by mixing an unprocessed 'dry', or lightly compressed signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal.

  3. Myofascial trigger point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_trigger_point

    [2] Compression of a trigger point may elicit local tenderness, referred pain, or local twitch response. The local twitch response is not the same as a muscle spasm. This is because a muscle spasm refers to the entire muscle contracting whereas the local twitch response also refers to the entire muscle but only involves a small twitch, no ...

  4. Spinal cord compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_compression

    The most common causes of cord compression are tumors, but abscesses and granulomas (e.g. in tuberculosis) are equally capable of producing the syndrome. Tumors that commonly cause cord compression are lung cancer (non-small cell type), breast cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

  5. Compression body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_body

    In the theory of 3-manifolds, a compression body is a kind of generalized handlebody. A compression body is either a handlebody or the result of the following construction: Let be a compact, closed surface (not necessarily connected). Attach 1-handles to [,] along {}.

  6. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

    There are two types of compression: downward and upward. Both types of compression reduce the dynamic range of an audio signal. [2] Downward compression reduces the volume of loud sounds above a certain threshold. The quiet sounds below the threshold remain unaffected. This is the most common type of compressor.

  7. Paramedian pontine reticular formation - Wikipedia

    With the abducens nucleus it makes up the horizontal gaze centre. [1] It is situated in the pons adjacent to the abducens nucleus . [ 2 ] It projects to the ipsilateral abducens (cranial nerve VI) nucleus, and contralateral oculomotor (cranial nerve III) nucleus [ note 1 ] to mediate conjugate horizontal gaze and saccades .

  8. Davis's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis's_Law

    Davis's law is used in anatomy and physiology to describe how soft tissue models along imposed demands. It is similar to Wolff's law, which applies to osseous tissue.It is a physiological principle stating that soft tissue heal according to the manner in which they are mechanically stressed.

  9. Strain (injury) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(injury)

    A strain can occur as a result of improper body mechanics with any activity (e.g., contact sports, lifting heavy objects) that can induce mechanical trauma or injury.. Generally, the muscle or tendon overstretches and is placed under more physical stress than it can withsta
