effects on bone and muscle in this population. The criteria for inclusion were children with cerebral palsy 6 -12 years old (most likely to show response for bone mass accrual due to their young age)‚ children with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels 1 -4‚ and able to stand for 10 minutes. Exclusion criteria included high vertebral cancellous bone density (>295mg/cm3‚ approximately 1 standard deviation (SD) above the average for typical development)‚ surgery‚ casting‚ botulinum

Not every disease is well known throughout the scientific community. Many disorders and illnesses baffle doctors and scientists today even with our modern technology. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive‚ also known as FOP‚ is a rare disorder that affects 1 of 2 million people‚ where a person grows a second layer of bone around their skeleton. Even though we are researching cures today‚ to help progress future cures we need to inform the public of how FOP functions. The earliest documented occurrence

change‚ bone density can start to vanish‚ and the spine vertebrae’s can compress which triggers the trunk to appear shorter. Muscles also change as we age. There are more than 600 muscles in the human body. Muscles vary from smooth to cardiac to skeletal muscles. They do everything from pump blood into the body to control movement in certain parts of the body. As we grow older‚ muscles may lose their density‚ flexibility and tone. Ossification is the process by which bones are formed and there

Daniela Solis Ms. Gadia 4/18/17 7/8A Anthropology and Forensic Science Anthropology is the study of human bones and and the development of cultures and societies. Forensic science is the discipline in which professionals use scientific means to analyze physical crime evidence. Forensic science and anthropology are both used in many different ways and maybe even alike in some ways. Anthropology and forensic science can be used together to identify multiple things. Both help

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a bone disease that is also known as brittle bone disease. It is a genetic disorder that can affect extra skeletal tissues‚ teeth‚ and heart valves. Mostly though‚ this disease affects bones and muscles. The bones become very fragile and very breakable as well as the muscles become very weak. All of these things happen as a result of one out of two genes that carry the instructions for type one collagen‚ this collagen is what carries these deformities. These genes

Chapter 8 Joints & Skeletal Movement Classification of joints is by functional group (the amount of movement possible)‚ and structural group (how the bones are held together). Functional Group Structural Group Fibrous (bones connected by short‚ fibrous filaments) Cartilagenous (bones connected by cartilage) Synarthrosis (immobile) Suture Amphiarthrosis (slight movement) Syndesmosis cranium -carpal/tarsal bones‚ -btwn radius & ulna Diarthrosis (free mobility) Gomphosis joint btwn teeth & maxilla/mandible

Skeletal muscle moves because we want it to. It is controlled voluntarily (consciously). There is 2 types of contraction Isometric: As the muscle contracts‚ it remains the same length whilst the tension increases in an attempt to overcome the opposing force. Example: Holding a glass of water still in front of you. Isotonic: As the muscle contracts its length changes whilst the tension remains constant or develops to overcome the opposing force. Example: Lifting a glass of water to your mount and

The length-tension relationships represent an important part in the function of skeletal muscle. When skeletal muscle is stimulated‚ passive tissue rapidly changes into dynamic tissue which can produce force. Furthermore‚ during this process‚ the length of muscle may decrease‚ increase‚ or remain the same. Moreover‚ the amount of power a muscle can produce depends on its length‚ velocity and stimulation Powers & Howley (2015). Muscle velocity and stimulation are normally in a constant when creating
