MassageAchilles TendinitisSoleus Origin: Tibula/fibula Insertion: Calcaneous Gastrocnemius Origin: Superior to articular surfaces of lateral condyle of femur and medial condyle of femur Insertion: Calcaneous Trochanteric bursitisOutside (lateral) point of the hip known as the greater trochanter. When this bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, it causes pain in the hip. This is a common cause of hip pain. Illiotibial band. Medial epicondylitis pain in thenar eminenceRhomboid strainBicipital tendinitisMuscle attachments are Pectoralis Muscle. 1) C4 tetra with catheter foley C4 tetra has limited shoulder movement. Requires total assistance because of complete paralysis of body and legs. No finger, wrist or elbow flexion or extension. Needs a two man lift. 2) Left cemented THR 3 days post op. Do not flex hip over 90 degrees. Hold leg up while instructing patient to move around using the strength of their upper body. Use one standing pivot. 3) T12 paraplegic Use sliding board to transfer to the wheelchair since patient has full head and neck movement with normal muscle strength. Normal shoulder movement. Full use of arms, wrists and fingers. Partial paralysis of lower body and legs. Upper body strength and balance will vary depending on level of injury, but the lower the level, the stronger the upper body strength and balance. 4) Patient with MS with generalized good strength. IV in dorsal right hand. Be mindful of the IV as I transfer the patient. 5) Right cemented THR 3 days post op. Same thing. One leg-stand pivot. 6) Patient has both short legged casts, non-weight-bearing. Since patient is nonweight bearing, but good muscle strength, patient cannot stand on the floor. Therefore, using a sliding board to make use the patient's strength. 7) Parkinson's disease, generalized fair strength, foley catheter, tendency to loose balance backwards Tue, Dec. 8th, 2009, 02:49 pm Nerves of the hand and elbows pathologies

Which muscles they innervated? Secondly, what those muscles do? sourcesHandsUlnar nerveFlexor carpi ulnaris - Wrist flexion Extensor carpi ulnaris - Ulnar deviation (adduction), wrist extension Claw hand Someone with clawed hand will have weak wrist flexion, weak flexion of the 5th finger flexion, weak finger add/abd, and has a benediction sign. Therefore, thumb cannot be adducted or abduction, but can oppose. Radial nerveInnervates extensors. If this nerve is paralyzed, person has dropped wrists. No extension or abduction of thumb. Can oppose and adduct. Medial Affected the flexors carpis. Weak wrist flexion. Cannot Abduct or oppose thumb. Ape hand - No thumb opposition, extension, and flexion. Severence of this nerve paralyzes the thenar muscles, and the thumb loses much of its usefulness. Carpal tunnal syndrome - compression of the median nerve Dupuytren's contracture - Too much thickening of the fascia. Mon, Dec. 7th, 2009, 05:46 pm

1) Pt is a 75 yo with terminal stage ALS. Poor strength throughout BUEs and BLEs. Has an IV in right dorsal hand. Poor strength in both upper extremities and both lower extremities. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. Symptoms or degeneration of motor neaurons that controls voluntary muscles movement. Usually do not develop until after age 50 years. Loss of muscle strength and coordination that eventually gets worse. Makes one unable to do routine tasks such sitting down or climbing up the stairs. This patient has life expectancy of six months or less. Has shortness of breath due to muscle weakness. Pt maybe on ventilator due to weakness of the respiratory muscles and provide comfort. 2) Patient wearing two short casts (BK) and is non weight bearing. Good upper body strength. Below-knee cast for management of severe ankle sprains. Pt has short period of immobilisation. Maintains 10 degrees of ROM and control against inversion of the feet. This person can move his knees? Also, for myself, here something to look at. Tibial fractions. Assist for both legs. 3) Pt s/p right CVA with normal strength on non involved side Patient left side is weak. Right side is normal. When put into sidelying position, lay the patient on the right side. 4) Pt s/p non cemented R THR. Good upper body strength Be aware that this patient, when sit up, cannot overflexion of 90 degrees. This patient takes longer to recover and regain mobility therefore limits activities. Make Pt use upper body strength as much as possible. 5) Pt is s/p auto accident with TBI. Confusion but generally good strength. Proper communication and time management. Be aware that this patient has confusion and is prone to headaces, amensia, nauseua, wonky sleept patterns, due to the accident to the head. Assist patient by using their own strength and do not touch the head, which is most vulnerable. Instead tell patient to make use of their neck muscles. 6) Pt with advanced parkinsonism and generalized upper extremity weakness. Has tendency to lose his balance backwards. Moderate tremor present. Muscle stiffness contributes with the upper extremities and in tremor. Assist this patient whenever possible. Sun, Oct. 11th, 2009, 02:56 am Projects

1. A Description of the Agonists, Assistors and Stabilizers. - hamstrings(agonists) contract, your quadriceps (antagonists) - Antagonist to the quadriceps femoris: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius - Origin: Tuberosity of the ischium, linea aspera, - Insertion: Tibia, fibula - Artery: Inferior gluteal artery, profunda femoris artery - Nerve: Sciatic nerve, tibial nerve - Actions: Flexion of knee - Antagonist: Rectus femoris muscle - Assistors to the glutes in hip extension 2. The type of muscle contractions those are required for the activity A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction where the length of the muscles shortens while undergoing tension. Another example would be if you were to perform a couple of leg curls on a hamstring machine. As your knee is flexing, your foot is approaching your buttocks, and your hamstring muscles shorten in the process. Any muscle activity where the strength of the muscle can overcome the resistance of an object forcing the muscle’s length to shorten is considered a concentric contraction. TEXTBOOK Hamstrings biceps femoris semitendinosus semimebranosus Biceps femoris Description: Most lateral muscle of the group, arises from two heads O – Ischial tuberosity (long head); linea aspera and distal femur (short head) I - Common tendom passes downward and laterally (forming lateral border of politeal fossa) to insert into head of fibula and lateral condyle of tibia Action: Extends thigh and flexes knee; laterally rotates leg, especially when knee is flexed Nerve: Sciatic nerve – tibial nerve to long head, common fibular nerve to short head (L5-S2) Semitendinosus Description: Lies medial to biceps femoris; although its name suggest that this muscle is largely tendinous, it is quite fleshy; its long slender tendon begins about two-thirds of the way down thigh O - Ischial tuberosity in common with long head of biceps femois I – medial aspect of upper tibial shaft Action: Extends thigh at hip; flexes knee; with semimembranosus, medially rotates leg Nerve: Sciatic nerve – Tibial nerve portion (L5-S2) Semimembranosus: Deep to semitendinosus O – Ischial tuberosity I – Medial condyle of tibia; via oblique popliteal ligament to lateral condyle of femur Actions: Extends thigh and flexes knee; medially rotates leg Nerve: Sciatic nerve – tibial nerve portion (L5-S2) Sat, Sep. 19th, 2009, 03:33 pm Major assignments

TBI is caused by a blow or jolt to the head, producing trauma or brain damage. People affectedYoung adults up to 24: More common in motor vehicle accidents Elderly persons: Unintentional falls Infants: Shaking syndrome Soldiers: Explosive blasts Each year about 1.4 million people suffer from TBI and 5.3 million live with TBI disabilities. Types of injuryOpen, close, penetrating wounds. Traumaic injury to extra cranial blood vessels Primary injuries immediately after accidents. Secondary injuries as a result of primary injuries. Signs and symptomsMild TBI symptoms may or not include loss of consciousness (LOS), amnesia, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, confusion, bad taste in the mouth, ringing ears, change in sleep patterns, and fatigue. It can affect concentration, attention, and thinking. Severe brain trauma can have nausea, migranes, personality changes, motor abnormalities and loss of coordination. TreatmentDepends on severity. The first 3-5 days are the most crucial. Surgery maybe need to remove bullets from the brain and work on preventing infection and blood clots and decrease intracranial presure from the swelling. TherapyIn rehabilitation focuses on recovering most cognitive and physical abilities which requires evaluation, measurement, and assessment of motor function, motivation, emotional stability, memory, and learning to identify weakness and strengths. If the patient works with the professionals, chances of recovery will increase, this also includes patient goals to determine their motivation. Results of physical therapy is slow since it depends on the patient's medical history and performance during therapy since TBI involve physical and cognitive aspects.
