Resistance training is the use of force to muscle contraction to increase skeletal muscle size, strength, and anaerobic endurance. The foundation of resistance training is the idea that when the body is forced to overcome a resistance force, its muscles will do so. Your muscles get more powerful when you do resistance practice daily. Resistance…
What is a Supraspinatus Tendonitis? Supraspinatus tendonitis, also known as rotator cuff tendonitis, is a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. It involves inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon, which is one of the four tendons that comprise the rotator cuff. A common shoulder problem is supraspinatus tendonitis, which has been also referred to as…
The large, flat latissimus dorsi muscle occupies the majority of the lower posterior thorax. Although the muscle’s main job is to move the upper limb, it also serves as an auxiliary muscle for breathing. Owing to this muscle’s extensive attachment to the thoracolumbar fascia and several vertebral spinous processes, research on the muscle’s function in…
Musculocutaneous Nerve Injury can result from various traumatic events, including direct trauma, compression, stretching, or iatrogenic causes such as surgical procedures. Depending on the severity and location of the injury, individuals may experience a range of symptoms, including weakness, sensory disturbances, and loss of motor function in the affected muscles. The musculocutaneous nerve is the…
Introduction The optic nerve is the second cranial nerve (CN II) that transmits visual information. The optic nerve has only afferent (sensory) fibres and, like all cranial nerves, is paired. During embryogenesis, the optic nerve develops in the retina, exits the orbit via the optic canal, and travels throughout the central nervous system. The optic…
What is a Hamstring Muscle Pain? Hamstring muscle pain refers to discomfort or soreness in the muscles located at the back of the thigh, known as the hamstrings. These muscles play a crucial role in various leg movements, including walking, running, and bending the knee. Hamstring injuries and pain are common, especially among athletes and…
What is Short-wave Diathermy? Short wave diathermy is also known as SWD. Physical therapy treatment involves applying deep heat to an individual’s joints and soft tissues to repair bone or tissue injuries. This approach improves healing by concentrating heat generation on specific areas and reaching deep tissues. This therapy strategy can effectively reduce inflammation, and joint…
Introduction The first and smallest cranial nerve is the olfactory nerve. This nerve is one of two that do not connect to the brainstem. Your olfactory nerve anatomy is part of the central nervous system. The process begins in the brain and ends in the upper nose. It is also part of your autonomic nervous…
A common age-related illness affecting the joints and discs of your cervical spine, or neck, is called cervical spondylosis. Cervical osteoarthritis and neck arthritis are other names for it. The condition is caused by cervical spine degeneration, which results in pain, stiffness, and tension in the shoulder and neck. The correct therapy may be helpful…
Brachial plexus injury refers to damage to the network of nerves that runs from the spinal cord to the hand, arm, and shoulder. The brachial plexus is the network of nerves that runs from the spinal cord to the hand, arm, and shoulder. The brachial plexus is harmed when these nerves are strained, compressed, or…
