Introduction: Lumbar instability is a spinal disorder characterized by abnormal movement or joint deformation between two or more contiguous vertebrae. When a patient has lumbar instability, there is excessive movement between the vertebrae, which leads to gradual deterioration of the intervertebral joints and can impair the nervous system components that run through them. Lumbar instability…
Introduction: Exercises for triceps tendonitis focus on reducing pain, improving flexibility, and restoring strength in the triceps and surrounding muscles. Gentle stretching, isometric holds, eccentric triceps extensions, and light resistance exercises help promote healing while preventing further strain. Triceps tendonitis is an overuse injury causing pain and inflammation at the back of the elbow. Strengthening…
Introduction Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition that occurs when a blood clot, usually from the deep veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis), travels to the lungs and blocks blood flow. This can lead to shortness of breath, chest pain, and rapid heart rate. PE requires urgent medical attention and is typically treated…

Wernicke’s aphasia, also known as receptive or fluent aphasia, is a language disorder caused by damage to Wernicke’s area in the brain, typically in the left temporal lobe. It affects comprehension and the ability to produce meaningful speech, though fluency and grammar remain intact. Individuals with this condition may speak in…
What is an Intercostal Muscle Strain? Intercostal muscle strain refers to overstretch in the muscles located between the ribs. These muscles assist in breathing and torso movement. Pain can result from overuse, injury, poor posture, or conditions like inflammation or nerve irritation. Symptoms often include sharp or aching pain, worsened by movement or deep breathing….
The median nerve is a major nerve of the upper limb, originating from the brachial plexus (C5-T1). It runs down the arm, forearm, and into the hand, providing motor innervation to most forearm flexor muscles and some hand muscles, and sensory innervation to the lateral palm, thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger….
The metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints are the connections between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal phalanges of the toes. These joints play a crucial role in weight-bearing, balance, and movement, especially during walking, running, and jumping. Dorsal collateral ligaments and extensor tendons strengthen the joint capsule surrounding these synovial joints. The first MTP…
Deep Core Muscles: What Are They? The deep core muscles are a group of stabilizing muscles that support the spine, pelvis, and abdomen. They include the transversus abdominis, multifidus, diaphragm, and pelvic floor muscles. These muscles work together to provide stability, improve posture, and reduce the risk of injury, especially in movements requiring balance and…
