Avulsion of the distal biceps tendon from the tuberosity occurs mostly in middle-aged males resulting from eccentric loading of the flexed, supinated forearm [1]. When non-operative treatment is chosen, supination strength decreases by 50% and flexion strength is reduced by 35-40% [2]. Surgical repair has been shown to be a better alternative than non-operative treatments for restoration of str...

Lesions of the nerve produce weakness of flexion at the elbow and weakness of supination. The biceps is an important supinator. There is sensory loss on the lateral side of the forearm. The brachialis muscle receives innervation from both the musculocutaneous nerve and the radial nerve. [7] [8] One study found that the musculocutaneous nerve contributes to 42% of the muscle power that flexes th...

We present a rare case of traumatic lesion the tibial fibers sciatic nerve with spared peroneal fibers. A 33-year-old victim three month earlier stabbing attack came to our attention gait impairment and weakened left foot plantar flexion internal rotation supination. Based upon clinical signs neurophysiological investigations we suspected that injury had occurred. Ultrasound examination detecte...

Patients with a injury (instability or associated fracture), age 18 years 6...

results the results of this study showed high reliability and validity of smartphone in regarding ug with icc > 0.95. the highest reliability for both methods was in elbow supination and the lowest was in the elbow flexion (0.84). objectives the study was designed to compare the smartphone inclinometer-based app and ug in evaluation of rom of elbow. materials and methods the maximum rom of elbo...
