The ability to feel with the hands

Diaphragm: (Inferior View)

The diaphragm is the most important muscle of insiration, When the muscle is relaxed, it is dome-shaped. It flattens as it contracts, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. The alternate contraction and relaxation causes pressure changes in the abdominoplvis cavity that assist in the return of venous blood and lymph to the heart. A protrusion of a structure through a weakended musclar layer is called a hernia. A hiatal hernia occurs because there is higher pressure in the abdomen than in the thorax, forcing part of the fundus of the stomach upward through the esophageal haitus into the thorax due to the weakening of the cardiac sphincter. * Other examples if herbuas are umbilical, femoral and inguinal. The Heimlic maneuver causes pressure on the diaphragm to increase intrathoracic pressure that forces food out of the laryngeal opening of a choking victum.

Sternocleidomastoid (SCM): (Lateral View)

The fleshy parts of this strap-shaped muscle divide the cervical region into anterior and posterior triangles. It is key muscle landmark in the neck. Spasms in one of these muscles may cause "wryneck," or torticollis. This can also be a congenital condition when the muscle is injured in a difficult birth, particularly in the breach position,. It causes a fixed rotation and tilting of the head due to fibrosis and shortening of the muscles on one side.

Gastrocnemius: (Postior View of Leg)

The gastrocneimius is the large calf muscle. A third head may arise along some portion of the popliteal surface of the femur. the two major heads may retain separate insertions on the calcaneus. the calcaneus tendon can be ruptured during. The calcaneus tendon can be ruptured during games that require quick starts and stops. Complete rupture brings abrut, sharp pain to the posterior lower leg and a lump or swelling apears in the calf due to the shortening of the muscles. the patient will no longer be able to planter flex the foot.

Gluteus Medius: (Lateral View)

The gluteal region is a common site for intramusclar injections because the muscles are thick and large. to aviod the sciatic nerve, gluteal nerves, and blood vessels deep in the gluteus maximus, injections are applied to the gluteus medius in the superolateral part of the buttock where the gleteus medius is not covered by the gluteus maximus.

What is the goal of myofascial release?

The goal of myofascial release is to release fascial restrictions and allow the layers to move freely

Myofascial pain and muscle strength:

The muscle may suddenly release, just before pain occurs. The patient avoids contractions forceful enough to hurt

Serratus Anterior (Lateral View)

The number of slips may vary between seven and twelve. the most superior slip may not attach to the first rib, and muscle slips may be continuous with other adjacent muscles. This muscle i s important in horizontal arm movement such as pushing and punching. It is sometimes called the "boxer's muscle.

Pectineus (Anterior View)

The pectineus is the upper of the adductor group of muscles there is controversy about whether it medially rotates the thigh. Straining of this muscle causes a pulled groun injury. All of the adductor group are important in horse back riding or other activities that require the pressing together of the thighs.

Soleus: (Posterior View of foot)

The soleus and gastrocnemius are jointly referred to as the triceps surae. the soleus is located beneath the gastrocnemius, and may insert onto the calcaneus separately from the gastrcnemius. Its tendon is part of the achillies tendon.

Epidemiology?

The study of the occurrence, transmission, and distribution of a disease.

Longus Capitis: ( Anterior View)

The superior portion of this this muscle may be fused with the longus collis. The longus capitis and the longus colli are often injured in a whiplash accident, causing neck pain. tightness of this muscle may mimic a sore throat.

Supinator: (Anterior View)

The supinator is a large muscle that wraps around the bone of the forearm. this muscle is covered by the more bones of the forearm. This muscle is covered by the more superificial muscle. An acessory supinator may arise from the coronid process of the ulna just lateral to the ulnar tuberosity, and insert onto the radial tuberosity , posterior to the insertion of the biceps tendon.

Therapy should offer alternatives such as taking the information verbally or filling out a shorter form

Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor:

There is different of opinion about the action of this muscle. It is generally assumed that it extends the head, but myographic studies inicate that it does not act in extension, but rather function as a restraint to flexion and forward movement of the head.

Femoris (Anterior Rectus View)

This is one of the four quadriceps femoris muscles. It sits on the anterior aspect of the femur and is the only one of the four that crosses both the hip and knee joint. this group is a powerful knee joint. this group is apowerful knee extensor used in running, jumping climbing. The rectus femmoris is used when the thigh flexion and leg extension are needed such as kicking a soccer ball or foot ball. The pain and muscle stiffness associated with "charley horse" results from a contusion and tearing of muscle such tissue of a quadreiceps muscle such as the rectus femoris. Direct trauma of hockey stick or tackle may produce a thigh hematoma, an accumulation of blood into the muscle and surrounding tissues from damaged blood vessles This muscle is a common injection site, especially in very young children

Extensor Digitorum: (Dorsal View)

This muscle divides into four prominent tendons on the dorsum of the hand. Sudden tension on a long extensor tendon may tear its attachment to a finger at the distal phalangeal joint. This occurs when the finger is forced into extreme flexion. This is called "mallet finger" or metacarpalfinger. This muscle tends to hyoerextend the metacarpophalangeal joint. Inflammation of this common tendon of orign is a primary cause of "tennis elbow."

Flexion-opposition of thumb and Digits: ( Palmar View)

Thumb 1) Flexor pollicis longus tendon 2) Flexor pollices brevis 3) opponens pollicis Fingers 4) Flexor digitorum profound tendon 5) Flexor digitorum superficialis tendon 6) Lumbricales 7) Opponens digiti minimi 8) Palmar interossei 9) Flexor digiti minimi

What happens when muscle tissue is damaged?

When muscle tissue, fascia and other tissues are damaged, the body tends to quickly patch the area with scar tissue which does not necessarily match the original composition it becomes less elastic, less vascularized, less innervated, less oriented and thus poorer in performance, and possibly numb or painful. When a muscle is stretched, its fascia is also lengthened.

Action Flexes the neck anteriorly and laterally; raises the first rib. Innervation: Ventral rami of the fourth through sixth cervical nerves (C4-C6)

Sternalis (Anterior View) 2 Trigger points: more common on the left side or in the midline of the sternum when the muscle fuses across the sternum. Referred pain: include the entire sternal and substernal region and may extend on the same side across the upper pectoral are and front of the shoulder to the underarm and to the ulnar aspect of the elbow. the pattern is similar to the substernal ache of myocardial infarction or angina pectoris. Clinically, the sternalis has the potential to initially cause misdiagonosis of breast tumors or their recurrence post- treatment. Palpation: deep muscle can not be readily palpated.

origin: (superior attachment) may attach to the sternum. to the fasica over the pectoralis major or SCM or it may form a continuation of these muscle. Insertion: (Inferior attatchment) May attach to the third through seventh costal cartilages, the fasicia covering the pectoralis major, and/or the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. Action: no skeletal movement is attributed to this muscle. Innervation: Since the muscle may be a variant of part of the pectorailis major and/or the rectus abdominis muscle the nerve innervation may be similarly varbiable.

Erector Spinae Muscles: (Posterior View) Spinalis Capitis Spinalais Cervicis Spinalis thoracis

the erector spinae muscles go into powerful spasms following injury to back structure.. 2 Trigger points: for this group are usally found in the midscapular and lumbar regions. Referred pain: is to the scapular, lumbar, gluteal, and abdominal regions.

Flexor Carpi Radialis: (Anterior View)

the flexor cari radialis runs diagonally across the forearm. Its fleshy belly is repalced midway by a flat tendon that becomes cord-like at the wrist. the tendon acts as a guide to the position of the radial artery in order to take a pulse. "Golfers elbow" is painful condition that follows repetitve use of the superficial muscles on the anterior forearm, strain the common flewor tendon. the flexor carpi radialis is the most commonly affected muscle. Another name for this syndrom is medial epicondylitis, reflecting the site of inflammation.

Levator Scapulae: (Posterior View)

the lavator is an elevator. it works with the upper portion of the trapezius when the shoulders are shrugged. It has a twist in it so that the attachments at the atlas and axis are from muscle fibers that attach to the inferior portion of the border and the attachment at C4 are from fibers at the superior portion of the border.

Supraspinatus (Posterior View)

the tendon of this rotator cuff muscle is frequently torn. Pain is described as deep in the shoulder and becomes progressively worse during abduction. The entrapment of the tendon of this muscle under the acromion process of the scapula causes impingement syndrome which makes it painful to raise the arm. The bursa located between this muscle and the acromion process is called the subacromial bursa.

When a client discuss personal matters with the therapist you should?

Satorius: (Anterior View)

this is a strap-like muscle running obliquely across the anterior surface of the thigh to the knee. It is the longeast in the body. It crosses both the hip and knee joint. It is sometimes called the "tailor muscle' and is used in sitting on the floor with thighs spread andlower legs crossed similar form to a yogo position. The accessory portion may arise from various points near the anterior superior iliac spine, the pectineal line, pubic bone, or inguinal ligament, Insertion vary between adjacent areas of the femur, patellar ligament, tendon of the semitendinosus, or tendon of the twin muscle.

Tibialis Anterior (Anterior View Leg)

this is a superficial muscle of the shin. It parallels laterally the sharp anterior margin of the tibia. Paralysis of this muscle causes foot drop in which the foot must be lifted high to prevent the toes from dragging during walking. Irritation of this muscle often causes shin splints. Shin splints occur in the anterior compartment of the leg following vigorous exercise in someone who does not usally exercise. The tibialis anterior muscle swells and the blood supply is reduced, causing ischemia. Proper warm up and cool down techniques help prevent this problem.

Biceps Femoris: (Posterior View)

this muscle is the most lateral of the hamstrings group. The two heads may be more separated lengthwise than normal or the short head may be absent. It crosses both the hip and knee joints, and it is a prime mover of both hip extension and knee flexion Pulled hamstrings are a common sports injury. It occurs with hard running, fast starts, or kicking. A contusion occurs with tearing of the muscle fibers and a hematoma forming is contained by the dense fascia of the muscle. Occasionally the tears are in the tendons attaching it to the ischial tuberosity.
