Introduction Stem cell therapy is a medical treatment that uses stem cells to repair or replace damaged tissues and cells in the body. It has potential applications in treating conditions like degenerative diseases, injuries, and certain genetic disorders by promoting healing and regeneration. Stem cells: what are they?The human body contains unique stem cells, which…
Introduction One chronic autoimmune condition that typically impacts the bones and cartilage is rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It results in generalized inflammation. When RA occurs, the body’s immune system unintentionally targets the tissue lining the joints, known as the synovial membrane, resulting in stiffness, pain, and swelling. This inflammation can harm the joints over time, resulting…
Introduction The serratus posterior superior muscle is found in the back’s intermediate compartment. It has a slender, rectangular shape and is placed deep in the upper back, close to the rhomboid muscles. The rib cage is raised by the serratus posterior superior muscle and lowered by the serratus posterior inferior muscle. When forced breathing is taking…
Introduction The serratus posterior inferior muscle is found in the back’s intermediate compartment. It is located in the lower part of the back, beneath the latissimus dorsi. It plays a role in respiration and stabilization of the lower thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae. Structure The muscle is placed where the thoracic and lumbar spines meet. With…
What is Cervical Lateral Flexion? The cervical spine or neck may move on either side to tilt the head toward the shoulder. The term “cervical lateral flexion” describes this movement. To put it briefly, it is a lateral neck bend that does not include head rotation but rather puts the ear closer to the shoulder….
What is a Lumbar Flexion? Lumbar Flexion refers to the forward bending movement of the lower spine, where the angle between the spine and the pelvis decreases. This motion is commonly used in daily activities like bending to tie shoes and is essential for overall spinal mobility and flexibility. What is Lumbar Flexion And Extension? The two primary…
Introduction A program called pulmonary rehabilitation teaches you how to cope with chronic lung disease and helps you build stronger breathing muscles. In addition to exercise and education, a team of healthcare professionals may also address breathing retraining, airway clearance, mental health support, and nutrition. People with lung problems can breathe better and lead healthier…
Allergic reactions occur when the immune system overreacts to a normally harmless substance, such as pollen, food, or medication. They can range from mild symptoms like sneezing, itching, or rashes to severe, life-threatening responses such as anaphylaxis. Early recognition and proper management are key to preventing complications. Introduction When the immune system overreacts to a…
Introduction Scapular dyskinesis refers to an alteration in the normal movement or position of the shoulder blade (scapula) during shoulder motion. It can manifest as a variety of presentations, including scapular winging, where the medial border of the scapula protrudes from the rib cage, or as dysrhythmia, where the scapula moves prematurely or excessively during…
Introduction Serratus posterior muscles are two sets of muscles found in the upper and lower backs. These include: These muscles work together to form the back’s intermediate layer of extrinsic musculature.These muscles’ principal function is to facilitate breathing; the serratus posterior superior muscle lifts the ribs, while the serratus posterior inferior muscle lowers them. In…
