  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 ...

  5. Intercostal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercostal_muscles

    The intercostal muscles comprise many different groups of muscles that run between the ribs, and help form and move the chest wall.The intercostal muscles are mainly involved in the mechanical aspect of breathing by helping expand and shrink the size of the chest cavity.

  6. External intercostal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_intercostal_muscles

    A cutout of the thoracic wall showing the three layers of intercostal muscle - from the left wall. The muscles extend from the tubercles of the ribs behind, to the cartilages of the ribs in front, where they end in thin membranes, the external intercostal membranes, which are continued forward to the sternum.

  7. Rotator cuff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotator_cuff

    The rotator cuff compresses the glenohumeral joint during abduction of the arm, an action known as concavity compression, in order to allow the large deltoid muscle to further elevate the arm. In other words, without the rotator cuff, the humeral head would ride up partially out of the glenoid fossa, lessening the efficiency of the deltoid muscle.

  8. Paramedian pontine reticular formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramedian_pontine...

    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 .

  9. 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.
