------------------------------------------------- Deltoid In human anatomy‚ the deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the shoulder. Anatomically‚ it appears to be made up of three distinct sets of fibers though electromyography suggests that it consists of at least seven groups that can be independently coordinated by the central nervous system. * Origin: upper clavicle‚ scapula * Insertion: upper humerus ------------------------------------------------- Trapezius

Tethered cord syndrome Tethered cord syndrome is a stretch-induced functional disorder associated with the fixation (tethering) effect of inelastic tissue on the caudal spinal cord‚ limiting its movement. This abnormal attachment is associated with progressive stretching and increased tension of the spinal cord as a child ages‚ potentially resulting in a variety of neurological and other symptoms. Due to the variation of the growth rate of the spinal cord and the spinal column‚ the progression of

Syndrome patients will often have higher levels of proteins than those that do not have this disorder. The Lumbar puncture will also evaluate if there are any bacteria or bleeding present in the spinal fluid. Doctors will also order an EMG‚ or electromyography. This test helps to determine how healthy the muscles and nerves are. The test is performed by inserting an electrode into the skin and muscle‚ and evaluating the response to the electrical stimulus given. In Guillain-Barre‚ the nerves will be

Dystonia‚ a neurological condition or movement disorder wherein the neurological ‘machinery’ controlling the relaxation of muscles that are not in use function inappropriately. Abnormal messages or signals are sent from the movement control centre of the brain to the muscles of the body; these irregular transmissions cause the muscles to contract and twist into involuntary spasms‚ uncomfortable positions or abnormal postures. Dystonia can affect many or single muscle groups in the body‚ also

The body–self neuromatrix is a term used to describe the interconnected maze of nerves that carry the painful stimulus to all the different areas of the brain such as the central cortex‚ thalamus and limbic system that are involved in perceiving‚ reacting to and regulating pain. (Keefe‚ Abernethy & Campbell 2005‚ Melzack 2005‚ 2001‚ 1999‚ Moseley 2003) Essentially three different areas of information feed into the neuromatrix. 1. Sensory information from our physical body (skin‚ muscle‚ organs
