The aim of work was to present the results of maximal (isometric) torque produced by muscles acting as arm abductors and adductors (frontal plane). The Biodex Medical System was applied to test the group of 15, right handed, young men. Torque was measured at 5 different angular positions ...
These actions are all facilitated by the muscles of the arm. The human arm is divided into two main sections: the forearm and the arm itself. The forearm is the section located between the elbow and the wrist, while the arm represents the section from the shoulder to the elbow....
The long head of the triceps muscles overlap the shoulder joint, which is relevant since it directly affects adduction and extension of the arm. It also assists with elbow flexion. The long head of the triceps is particularly important since it accounts for the majority of the size of the ...
The arm muscles originate from different locations of the scapula to insert on the humerus and carry out their functions via the glenohumeral joint. The arm muscles are organized into two compartments: Anterior (flexor) compartment: biceps brachii, brach
depending on the user's preference and ability. Some common control techniques include surface electromyographic electrodes (EMG) and foot-mounted inertial measurement units (IMU). EMG electrodes touch the user's skin and sense electrical activity from muscles in the residual limb that would have mov...
The exercise capitalizes on the lats’ functions in shoulder extension and adduction, pulling the arm down and back towards the body’s midline. This movement pattern directly engages the lat muscles more effectively compared to the standard Straight-Arm Pulldown, which often limit the range due ...
Muscles of the arms The arms consist of three major muscle groups: the biceps, triceps, and deltoids. The biceps are located on the front of your upper arm (also known as the flexor group). The triceps are located on the back side of your upper arm (also known as extensor group). Bo...
Picture this — you crush yourbiceps curlsandpull-upsat the gym, and the next day you feel that sweet pain of not being able to straighten your arms. Your biceps muscles flex and supinate your forearms. They assist in flexion, abduction, and adduction of your shoulder joint. When you wor...
Electromyographic (EMG) activity from six superficial shoulder muscles was collected and processed to extract muscle coactivation indices based on the time-varying multi-muscle coactivation function (\(TMCf\))4,35. The \(TMCf\) allowed to take into account the contribution of multiple muscles ...
What are the common innervations for intrinsic muscles of the hand? Which of the following is a hinge joint? (a) Wrist (b) Shoulder (c) Jaw (d) Thumb Which type of muscle movement occurs when the arm is bent at the elbow? a. abduction b. adduction c. flexion d. extension ...
