procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract. An EMG translates these signals into graphs‚ sounds or numerical values that a specialist interprets. It is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction‚ muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. Careful registration

the scapula‚ or more commonly known as the shoulder blade. The scapula is a bone that connects the humerus and the clavicle to the axial skeleton with its muscle attachments and provides stabilization to the arm. The scapula is a triangle bone; relatively flat in shape that forms the shoulder girdle. The scapula has multiple surfaces where muscles originate and attach. These surfaces are the subscapular fossa (costal side)‚ infraspinatus fossa‚ and supraspinatus fossa (both dorsal side). There is also

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that work together to stabilize the shoulder while connecting the humerus to the scapula. The four muscles include the Teres minor‚ Infraspinatus‚ Supraspinatus‚ and Subscapularis. A cuff around the humerus is formed from the tendons of these four muscles. While lying below the scapular spine‚ the teres minor and infraspinatus muscles are in charge of externally rotating the shoulder. Teres minor is initiated more when the arm is abducted to 90 degrees

Cover Page. Mariah Williams Period 6 Spinal Muscular Atrophy. By: Mariah Williams Spinal muscular atrophy [SMA] is a disorder in which‚ you have a loss of motor neurons. Your muscle symmetry is often off. In addition‚ there is muscle weakness in your spinal cord. This occurs in a hard time sitting up and holding your head up on your own. It is just like when you are a newborn and you need a pillow to sit on the couch. A few major causes of SMA are loss of motor neuron cells or nerve cell

circumstances that reduce the motivation to do exercises. Research into medical conditions that cause weakening of the leg muscles found muscular dystrophy to be a wide ranging condition affecting thousands of people in the UK. Further research was not deemed necessary as the product was to be designed for patients with ‘weakened leg muscle’ and so the cause of this weakness was not important. Research was completed in different types of movement in the legs and feet. This led to the conclusion

into the muscle. This is caused by an enzyme called creatine kinase. ADP is the result of this chemical reaction (adenosine di-phosphate). The resulting energy is used to regenerate ATP from ADP and another free phosphate. Lactic Acid System Like the creatine phosphate system‚ the lactic acid system also is a short term and high intensity energy system. Glycogen which is stored in your muscles is broken down into glucose to be used as an energy source for the contractions in the muscles. ATP plays
