Studies show that flexion and extension of the wrist increases the pressure in the carpal tunnel measured with a pressure gauge. As the pressure increases, the tendons and ligaments are resilient withstanding a lot of pressure, but not the vulnerable, compressible median nerve. Occupations at risk...
The arm (upper limb) is made up of a number of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, along with their various nerve supplies, and all are susceptible to injury and damage that can lead to pain. However at times, pain in the arm may be caused by a damage at a distant point and t...
Hyperextension of the elbow.People who participate in some sports like gymnastics, yoga, or weight lifting can put a lot of pressure on their elbow. This can cause an overextension, orhyperextension, of the elbow. This injury can tear the tendons and ligaments around your elbow, causing pain ...
Also, the soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) have often become shorter and weaker. You will need to work on lengthening the muscle and tendons with stretches for the first 3-4 weeks. Then, the muscles will need time to rebuild their...
Could a soft tissue injury do something to the tendons and ligaments under the knee cap. Most of the bruising is on the inside of the knee but the top of the knee is very sensitive to touch, like it was bruised too but no discoloration. Sorry for the long note and thanks for any ...
Neuromusculoskelatal (NMSK) Ultrasound is a diagnostic, sometimes - therapeutic technique utilized to evaluate pathology of muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and joints. Orthopedic muscle ultrasound allows us to visualize these structures in a noninvasive manner to evaluate the possibility of pathology...
Not being able to lift our arms because of shoulder pain is a prevalent problem. Some of you woke up and couldn’t move your shoulder. Some of you may have had…
Ultrasound represents a valuable imaging modality to obtain a comprehensive depiction of the main anatomical structure of the shoulder, including joint recesses, bursae, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Furthermore, it allows dynamic scanning during joint motion and muscle contraction and assists in ...
One of the most common causes of pain in your shoulder or arm that makes it difficult to move or lift are rotator cuff injuries. The group of tendons and muscles in your rotator cuff help provide stability and allow your shoulder to rotate. How can I sleep without my arms going numb?
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and an American startup have successfully printed a robotic arm for the first time using the latest laser scanning technology, which includes bones, ligaments, and tendons made of different polymers. This new technology enables one...
