Flexion

Straight Leg Raise, Modified Thomas Test, V-Sit test, Kraus Webber Floor Touch Test, Groin Flexibility test, calf muscle flexibility test, Trunk Rotation Test, Sit and reach, Back scratch test V sit-and-reach test) to upper body consisting of Shoulder Flexion (Shoulder Stretch, Back Scratch Test, Shoulder Flexibility Test) and Shoulder Rotation (Shoulder Flex Test, Shoulder Rotation: Acuflex III, Shoulder Circumduction) (Heyward, V. H., & Gibson, A. L. 2014). The test I decided to use…

His therapist transferred him into this position and moved his legs into flexion at the knees to provide comfort to his hips. His legs had to be supported there otherwise they fell into extension and external rotation of the hips. His head faced to the left and he was able to bring close to midline when the therapist would speak to him, however he was not able to hold it there long. Aaron’s arms stayed in flexion while in supine. Clonus reflex was observed as UE tone was being tested. His high…

at the counter was looking at me with a smirk but never offered his assistance. After entering my house, I proceeded to put all my things down to change clothes and again I was faced with limited range of motion. I needed full wrist extension and flexion, radial and ulnar deviation in order to remove my clothes. I put some clothes in the washer and dryer that did not present a challenge. When I was folding and hanging my clothes from the dryer I ran into some on the same limitations as…

Cryotherapy after a TKA Throughout the years we put a lot of stress on our body’s joints. As we age we may find certain joints start causing us a lot of pain and problems due to wear and tear on the body. The knee joint is one of those joints that tolerates a lot of wear and tear throughout the years due to holding a lot of body weight and the motions it performs on an everyday bases. As we start aging people start developing pain in the knee which can be caused be osteoarthritis or other issues…

(the major abductor), supraspinatus (assists the deltoid), subscapularis/teres major (produce medial rotation at the shoulder), infraspinatus/teres minor (produce lateral rotation at the shoulder), coracobrachialis (attaches to the scapula producing flexion and adduction at…

Nine muscles insert on and move the humerus. First, the pectoralis major originates on the medial half of the clavicle, one side of the sternum, on the costal cartilage (1-7) and the aponeurosis of the external oblique. It inserts on lateral lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus. The pectorals major flexes, medially rotates and adducts the humerus. Second, the deltoid originates from the lateral half part of the clavicle (anterior fibers), the acromion of the scapula (lateral fibers)…

through quad cane using his L UE. Touch-down WB on R LE was observed as well as, significant decreased stance time on the R. He experiences most difficulty with the lateral weight shift from L to R foot due to R hip pain. Pt also has limited hip flexion, hip extension, and knee extension ROM on the R therefore, affecting trailing limb position as well as swing phase and loading response. No muscle contractions were felt in pt’s R LE in sitting and gravity minimal positions weren’t tolerated…

The knee is a very crucial structure in the human body. It plays an extremely essential role in human movement. The weight that is put through the knee at one time can be over extravagant and the way it takes the weight and controls the body is truly unbelievable and fascinating. It carries the weight forwards and backwards while walking, and upward and downwards while jumping. The anatomical structure that stabilizes the knee can be divided into 4 areas. Anterior, Posterior, Lateral or…

have learnt from participating and competing in this sport. This skill requires many different muscles, bones, joints and their actions. Before I perform my skill I jump over the rope twice quickly and then slowly once. To jump over the rope, I use flexion to bend my elbow joint, moving my radius and ulna in a circular motion from my elbow joint and my shoulder joint uses circumduction to bring the rope over my head. My bicep brachii allows me to flex my elbow to perform this skill. I flex both…

tibia bone related to the femur bone (Moore et., al, 2014). If the PCL is torn, then the tibia can move backward too much leading to instability of the knee. The knee joint serves as a hinge joint that connects the femur to the tibia allowing for flexion, extension, and minimal internal/external rotation. The tibial tuberosity also serves as the attachment for the patellar ligament, which attaches to the patella from…
