background: identifying the predisposing factors of neck and shoulder complaints and finding solutions to avoid them could improve the occupational health condition of the nurses. in this study, we aimed at determining the role of psychological and physical occupational factors in developing neck and shoulder complaints among the participants.   methods: this analytic cross-sectional study was ...

Human Joint paints exhibit abnormal motion and vise versa during movements. Most of the patients were suffering from joint paints. This joint paints like Hip joints, Knee joints, Foot joints, Shoulder joints Elbow joints, and Wrist joints. Patients suffering from joint disorders visit a therapist. The therapist must correlate all these information sources regarding joint Problems. Most probable...

conclusions generalized ligamentous laxity is an important predisposing factor for acute and chronic shoulder injuries in athletes. prescreening programs for beginners and rehabilitation shoulder programs for sports athletes at high risk are strongly recommended. results group a (with ligamentous laxity) consisted of 43 participants (36.4%) and group b (without ligamentous laxity) consisted of ...

BACKGROUND The shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the human body. This is due, in part, to the complex interplay between the glenohumeral (GH) joint and the scapulothoracic (ST) articulation. Currently, our ability to study shoulder kinematics is limited, because existing models isolate the GH joint and rely on manual manipulation to create motion, and have low reproducib...

BACKGROUND The paper reports on the importance of the interpersonal nexus within qualitative research processes, from a recent research project on patient experiences of shoulder surgery. Our aim is to reveal the importance of qualitative research processes and specifically the role of the interpersonal nexus in generating quality data. Literature related to the importance of human interactions...

A key feature of successful motor control is the ability to counter unexpected perturbations. This process is complicated in multijoint systems, like the human arm, by the fact that loads applied at one joint will create motion at other joints [1-3]. Here, we test whether our most rapid corrections, i.e., reflexes, address this complexity through an internal model of the limb's mechanical prope...

BACKGROUND Shoulder ulcers can have a significant impact on the welfare of sows. In Denmark, rubber mats are used for treatment of shoulder ulcers. The objective of the study was to compare a treatment consisting of a combination of rubber mats and zinc ointment with the effect of local antibiotic spray (chlortetracycline) on shoulder ulcers. METHODS A total of 304 sows with shoulder ulcers w...

The holotype of Homo floresiensis, diminutive hominins with tiny brains living until 12,000 years ago on the island of Flores, is a partial skeleton (LB1) that includes a partial clavicle (LB1/5) and a nearly complete right humerus (LB1/50). Although the humerus appears fairly modern in most regards, it is remarkable in displaying only 110 degrees of humeral torsion, well below modern human ave...
