Vastus Medialis Gross Morphology The vastus medialis (VM) is a muscle situated in anteromedial aspect of the thigh. It forms quadriceps femoris muscle by the three distinctive portion‚ the rectus femoris‚ vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius (Palastanga and Soames 2012). The Vastus medialis has been termed as being composed of two separate division: the vastus medialis longus proximally‚ and the vastus medialis oblique distally (Hubbard et al 1997). The vastus medialis (VM) origin form a line

less. When weakness of the muscles become intense for a patient‚ doctors will begin to recommend physical therapy or medication. Physical therapy is useful to prevent the contractures‚ which is a condition of shortening or hardening of the muscles‚ tendons‚ or tissues‚ that could become worse or complicate dermatomyositis if the patient does not fully move or stretch out their joints constantly.

dreams of going pro. You’re probably wondering‚ “What happened that was so bad?” I had a full meniscus tear in my right knee. For those who don’t know what a meniscus is‚ it’s a shock absorbing cartilage tendon inside of the knee. Its primary purpose is to take stress of off the other important tendons in your knee such as the ACL and MCL. It’s mainly used when you land from a leap or when you’re trying to change directions quickly. The way this happened to me was unexpected. One day

minimize these costs‚ a limited number of formwork and shoring sets are recycled up the structure as construction progresses‚ eliminating the need for a new set of formwork and shoring with each new slab. When a slab is post-tensioned using draped tendons‚ slab lift occurs as a portion of the slab self-weight is balanced. The formwork and shores supporting that slab are unloaded by an amount equivalent to the load balanced by the post-tensioning. This produces a load distribution through the structure

Most of our skeletal muscles are attached to bone on either end by tendons. As the muscles contract‚ they exert force on the bones. This force helps to support and move our body. Normally one end of the muscle is fixed in its position and the other end moves during contraction. The Origin is the attachment site that is stationary during contraction. The insertion is the site that does move when a muscle contracts. When we discuss the position of the Origin and insertion points‚ the insertion
