The sternocleidomastoid is an important neck muscle that performs several functions requiring two different stretches and two different exercises for strengthening. The SCM muscle has two parts, the front and the back portion; also this muscle rotates, extends and flexes the neck to the side. More...
Immediately after putting on the helmet, an ultrasound probe was placed vertically at the left anterior neck region (along the region medial to the clavicle head of SCM muscle, lateral to the trachea and inferior to the thyroid) to scan the intervertebral disc height (Zheng et al., 2014) ...
The functional unit of contraction or force production is the sarcomere, extending from one Z-disk to the next. The myofibrils consist of thousands of these sarcomeres strung end to end. The length of the sarcomere varies with muscle activation. Typically, the rest length is about 2.0–2.2 μ...
Muscle-specific tyrosine kinase myasthenia gravis (MuSK MG) is an autoimmune disease that causes life-threatening muscle weakness due to anti-MuSK autoantibodies that disrupt neuromuscular junction signaling. To avoid chronic immunosuppression from current therapies, we engineered T cells to express a MuSK...
Choose two: Transverse friction massage (XMF) can be used to treat which of the following scar tissue within tendons/ligaments adaptive shortening Cross friction/transverse massage is used on contractile tissue such as the belly of the muscle False During PIR of the right SCM, the patient's cer...

To detect the presence of myotonic discharges, seen in SCM and PMC, as well as sometimes in HyperPP, a standardized EMG was performed by an experienced neurophysiologist in all patients. This electrophysiological test was carried out at room temperature in a proximal and distal muscle of the ...

NIRS [4] is a spectroscopic technique that makes use of light (660–1100 nm) to non-invasively monitor tissue hemodynamics and oxidative metabolism. Studying the attenuation of light inside the tissue and exploiting the differences in the absorption spectra of the oxy- (O2Hb) and deoxy- (HHb...
i suffer from the exact same situation. I get these really short non-painful stomach spasms, especially at night. They usually last for a few seconds but are frequent. It really makes it difficult to sleep at night when this occurs. Does anyone know what is causing this and what to do?
