Barre could possibly temporary have a serious affliction on the individual’s life, some of which we have heard of. Take Franklin D. Roosevelt for example, he suffered from Guillain Barre or also commonly known as “GBS” experienced a fight with this nerve damaging infection. GBS progressively starts to own a person’s life, being educated about this disease, the symptoms and effects, and the treatments will be beneficial. Two brilliant scientists discovered this syndrome, they found out what the…

said in National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke “That the physicians Jean-Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth. In 1886 Charcot, Marie, and Tooth discovered a group of progressive disorders that affects the peripheral nerves” (NINDS). They still consider this disease to being rare in the United states. The estimated amount of people who are diagnosed is fewer than 175,00 a year and the worldwide estimate is around 2.5 million. Of course, this number can be much…

compartment (The section between the II & III MCP) a. The flexor tendons leave the carpal tunnel and enter a central compartment in the palm. This compartment contains the flexor tendons and their synovial sheaths, the lumbrical muscles, and the digital nerves and vessels (AnatomyExpert, 2014). 20. Hypothenar compartment/eminence (The section on the outside of the 5th MCP) a. This compartment contains the muscles of the hypothenar eminence which include the abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti…

of all chordates. It gives the skeletal support and is found in between the digestive tube and nerve cord. In some animal chordates lifetimes it is the main axial support in the body. The dorsal hollow nerve cord is the only feature unique to all chordates. It is located at the top of the animal, above the notochord. During the development of the nerve cord the ectoderm rolls into a hollow tube. The nerve cord grows into the brain and spinal cord of most chordates which means it is part of the…

Nerves and muscles in the body send electrical signals throughout the body- sending and receiving messages to the brain. Electro diagnostic testing helps the doctor to get a better understanding of how those electrical signals are functioning in the body. There are two types of electro diagnostic testing; Electromyography, more commonly known as an EMG, and Nerve Conduction Studies, or NCS. An EMG allows the doctor to monitor and…

Figure 1. An EMG Tracing of Triceps and Biceps Muscles Co-activation. EMG signal produces an electrical activity of the muscle fibers active at a moment time. The electrical activity is measured in millivolts per milliseconds. The top channel shows the bicep EMG, while the bottom EMG correlates to the triceps contraction traces. Shown on the top graph, there are two periods of bicep activation, each last approximately 1.5ms. When the biceps are activated, it produces increasing amplitude peaks,…

rupture of the ligament allows for the gel like substance or nucleus pulposus to exit the disc. Both conditions can create pressure on the corresponding spinal nerves or even on the spinal cord which leads to neurological symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness throughout the area serviced by the corresponding spinal nerve or area of the spinal cord”(Ashby). This can cause many problems for the patient's spine. Chiropractors can treat the symptoms by “ adjusting the corresponding…

The class I observed was a senior exercise class on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7zCDiiTBTk. After watching the class, I can only assume the age of the participants is around 70 or 80 years of age. This class had 5 female participants and all of them stay seated throughout the entire class. The reason that the class participants are seated in chairs while exercising is because they may have limited mobility. Because of their age seniors need approach everything differently in life…

A Strength Training Program is Much Different Than A Bodybuilding Program. In order to setup a proper strength training routine, you need to understand how a muscle gets stronger. If you fail to understand the physiology behind getting stronger, you will put together a sub-optimal strength training program. My goal in this short article is to explain the differences between bodybuilding and gaining strength. How a Bodybuilding Program Works. Bodybuilding involves breaking down a muscle. This…

7 cranial nerve pairs out of 12 pairs in human nervous system function more or less in speech or hearing; these are the cranial nerves V (Trigeminal), VII (Facial), VIII (Vestibulocochlear), IX (Glossopharyngeal), X (Vagus), XI (Spinal Accessory), and XII (Hypoglossal). These have particular roles other than assisting speech or hearing. Furthermore, most clinical tests for cranial nerve functions neither are recommended to be performed by speech and hearing pathologists, nor are they related to…
