There are a number of different methods to measuring strength. Including‚ strength tests‚ for example‚ bench press‚ squat and deadlift. However‚ to gain a precise amount of force production through a muscle contraction‚ a type of dynamometer must be used. The Biodex has shown to be reliable and accurate throughout numerous amounts of studies. To test force production‚ the main method is through an isokinetic test. One of the most reliable and advanced systems is the Biodex isokinetic system. Asundi

1 Proximal Humeral Fracture Repair and Rehabilitation Surgical Indications and Considerations Anatomical Considerations: Numerous types of proximal humeral fractures can occur each of which have separate surgical indications and considerations. Proximal humeral fractures commonly occur along the physeal lines. Thus‚ fractures may involve the tubercles (greater and/or lesser)‚ surgical neck‚ or anatomical neck of the humerus. The surgical neck lies between the tuberosities and the shaft while

Achilles Tendon Injury 1. Anatomy: 2. Pathology: – Achilles tendonitis – Achilles tendon rupture – Achilles tendon avulsion Anatomy • Largest tendon in the body • Achilles tendon forms from the union of gastrocnemius (medial and lateral) and soleus tendons • Blood supply: posterior tibial artery Imaging • • Figure 1. Normal MRI of the Achilles tendon demonstrates this to be a well defined hypointense (dark) structure (arrow) inserting onto the calcaneus‚ thereafter becoming

synovial joints. Gilding joints‚ such as carpals of the wrist‚ these joints allow only gliding or sliding movements. Hinge joints‚ act as a door hinge does‚ allowing flexion and extension in just one plane. Pivot joints one bone rotates about another. Condyloid joints two bones fit together with an odd shape these joints allow flexion‚ extension‚ abduction‚ and adduction movements. Saddle joints‚ which resemble a saddle‚ permits the same movement as the condyloid joints‚ but allow greater movement

The Glasgow Coma Score (Teasdale and Jennet 1974) is a scale used to assess a patients conscious level. A score is allocated for different behaviours (eye opening‚ verbal response‚ best motor response). These are based on awareness‚ arousal and activity. It is quick‚ objective and easily interpreted. A score of 15 indicates that the patient is fully alert and responsive and a score of 3 indicates unconsciousness |Category |Score
