In fluid dynamics, a moving shock is a shock wave that is travelling through a fluid (often gaseous) medium with a velocity relative to the velocity of the fluid already making up the medium. [1] As such, the normal shock relations require modification to calculate the properties before and after the moving shock.
Shock is the state of insufficient blood flow to the tissues of the body as a result of problems with the circulatory system. Initial symptoms of shock may include weakness, tachycardia, hyperventilation, sweating, anxiety, and increased thirst. [1] This may be followed by confusion, unconsciousness, or cardiac arrest, as complications worsen. [1]
This theory emphasizes "the limbic system in the integration of sensory information and long-term memory, in the expression of the symptoms of motion sickness, and the impact of anti-motion-sickness drugs and stress hormones on limbic system function. The limbic system may be the neural mismatch center of the brain." [25]
Its utility in distinguishing types of shock has been discussed in medical literature and reference material concerning emergency medicine, [1] emergency medical services, [2] fire rescue, [3] and specialized courses such as the Comprehensive Advanced Life Support Program.

It flattens the arch as the foot strikes the ground in order to absorb shock when the heel hits the ground, and to assist in balance during mid-stance. If habits develop, this action can lead to foot pain as well as knee pain, shin splints, achilles tendinitis, posterior tibial tendinitis, piriformis syndrome, and plantar fasciitis.

Shock is a clinical diagnosis, [4] meaning it is diagnosed based off of observations of a medical provider based on patient symptoms physical examination. Shock can be either compensated or decompensated. [2] Compensated shock means that the body is successfully working harder than normal to meet the body's needs for blood flow and perfusion of ...
