Spurling's test is somewhat specific when used for individuals with an abnormal electromyogram study and is a relatively sensitive physical examination maneuver in diagnosing cervical spondylosis or acute cervical radiculopathy. It is not a very sensitive test when used for individuals without classic radicular signs suggestive of cervical ...
The shoulder girdle [5] or pectoral girdle, [6] composed of the clavicle and the scapula, connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton through the sternoclavicular joint (the only joint in the upper limb that directly articulates with the trunk), a ball and socket joint supported by the subclavius muscle which acts as a dynamic ligament. While ...
Normal pressure hydrocephalus, Hydrocephalus, Parkinson's disease, Spinocerebellar Atrophy, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Gait deviations are nominally referred to as any variation of standard human gait , typically manifesting as a coping mechanism in response to an anatomical impairment.
Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another.. In biomechanics and strength training, ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [1]
The range of motion describes the total range of motion that a joint is able to do. [5] For example, if a part of the body such as a joint is overstretched or "bent backwards" because of exaggerated extension motion, then it can be described as hyperextended .
The distal part of the upper limb between the elbow and the radiocarpal joint (wrist joint) is known as the forearm or "lower" arm, and the extremity beyond the wrist is the hand. By anatomical definitions, the bones , ligaments and skeletal muscles of the shoulder girdle , as well as the axilla between them, are considered parts of the upper ...
In anatomy, extension is a movement of a joint that increases the angle between two bones or body surfaces at a joint. Extension usually results in straightening of the bones or body surfaces involved.
This discomfort leads to reduced agility and range of motion, making it harder to accomplish regular chores. A patient's quality of life may also be significantly impacted by unilateral cervicogenic headaches that originate in musculoskeletal tissue innervated by cervical nerves and progress to the fronto-temporal and orbital areas .
