  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. 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.

  4. Luschka's joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luschka's_joints

    Pathological processes that can occur in these joints include degenerative changes or hypertrophic arthritis, resulting in foraminal stenosis and nerve compression. Foraminal stenosis at this joint is the most common cause of cervical nerve root pressure. They were characterized by Hubert von Luschka in 1858. [4] [5]

  5. Upper limb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_limb

    The first 10° is performed entirely by the supraspinatus, but beyond that fibres of the much stronger deltoid are in position to take over the work until 90°. To achieve the full 180° range of abduction the arm must be rotated medially and the scapula most be rotated about itself to direct the glenoid cavity upward. [7] Muscles

  6. Median nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_nerve

    The median nerve is a nerve in humans and other animals in the upper limb. It is one of the five main nerves originating from the brachial plexus.. The median nerve originates from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus, [1] and has contributions from ventral roots of C6-C7 (lateral cord) and C8 and T1 (medial cord).

  7. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

    Upward compression increases the volume of quiet sounds below a certain threshold. The louder sounds above the threshold remain unaffected. Some compressors also have the ability to do the opposite of compression, namely expansion. Expansion increases the dynamic range of the audio signal. [3] Like compression, expansion comes in two types ...

  8. Biceps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biceps

    Besides, the long head of biceps prevents the upward displacement of the head of the humerus. [12] In more detail, the actions are, by joint: [ 13 ] Proximal radioulnar joint of the elbow – The biceps brachii functions as a powerful supinator of the forearm, i.e. it turns the palm upwards.

  9. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terminology

    Anatomy is often described in planes, referring to two-dimensional sections of the body. A section is a two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional structure that has been cut. A plane is an imaginary two-dimensional surface that passes through the body. Three planes are commonly referred to in anatomy and medicine: [1] [2]: 4
