Rigidity, akinesia or bradykinesia are two cardinal motor symptoms that can impair a patient’s ability to move muscles and be active. For example, a patient with bradykinesia will have difficulty initiating movement, or changing direction of a movement due to opposing coordination of muscle groups. With that in mind, range of motion (ROM) exercises can help reduce muscle rigidity, maintain mobility of joints, and prevent atrophy of the muscles. Along with ROM exercises, regular ambulation can help prevent consequences of immobility. Pressure ulcers, skin breakdown, impaired skin integrity, and constipation associated with slowed peristalsis are all implications of immobility. In detail, while walking encourage the patient to lift their feet

This paper presents how Labeling theory and strain theory can explain the crimes that The White family from West Virginia commit on a daily basis. The wonderful White of West Virginia portrays corruption and poverty. They do not conform to any authority or rules; all they want to do is fuss, fight and party. The White family takes part in shoot-outs, robberies; gas huffing, drug dealing, pill popping and murders. They are famously known for their Hill Billy tap dancing and wild criminal ways. West Virginia being the poorest state in the United States they do not have the resources to a good education system or available employment. Therefore, frustration sets in, leading to failed aspirations causing the Whites to resort to violent and illegal ways to survive in a declining economy, to obtain a slight chance to their perspective of the American dream. However, being labeled as the rebels of the south just makes that slight chance of the American dream much harder to obtain.

Kinesiology is a complimentary therapy used to identify and correct internal issues to relieve stress, allergies, and pain. Being described as a complimentary therapy, kinesiology is not meant to be a cure-all for the patient, but a secondary method of increasing positive results of the original therapy; this method however can be used as a primary or secondary form of therapy depending on the results for the patient and satisfaction with said results. During treatment the doctor tests 14 different areas of muscles balance, these major muscles and how they react are believed to uncover problems that need correction which cannot be found with any other testing (Rude Health).
General Strain Theory was discussed by Robert Agnew, and first published in 1992. According to General Strain Theory individuals engage in crime because of strains or stressors which produce anger and anxiety (Agnew, 1992). Crimes become the outlet that the individual uses to cope with or remedy the strains or stressors. Agnew states that there are three different types of deviance producing strains.
Not only does bradykinesia affect the speed of movement, the person's ability to complete a motion suffers. While walking, the arms no longer swing, but remain lax at the person's sides. (2) If a person suffering from bradykinesia is asked to make a fist without looking, he or she can tell that their movements are slow.
A reduction in your range of movement in the joint. This means you won’t be able to move your joint into the positions you did before, or move them as far.
This paper explores some of the manual therapy methods, and the effects on which different parts of the human body. While the paper focus more on the positive effects of the different styles of manual therapy, the paper also explores any available reports on any risk of adverse events involving with manual therapies. Carnes, Mars, Mullinger, Froud, and Underwood (2010) suggest taking drug therapy causes a greater risk than with manual therapy. According to A. Bokarius and V. Bokarius (2010), “manual therapy is a widely used method for managing such conditions, but to date, its efficacy has not been established (p. 451). The purpose of this paper is to define what manual therapy is and offers some examples of manual therapy techniques

It is a home exercise program that allows the patient to take an active part in their healing. Gently moving the soft tissue prepares it for the treatment it receives from the therapist. Time previously spent during the therapy session to initiate change in the tissues is used instead to advance further release and flexibility. The therapist is able to focus treatment time on stubborn areas of connective tissue restriction that have not changed in response to exercise. The positioning the patient uses to complete the exercises helps the therapist identify the source of the problem which is not usually in the same place as the patient’s primary complaint. This partnership between the therapist and the patient translates into quicker recovery and improved pain relief for the
To begin with, symptoms for this will include swelling, bruising and tenderness around a muscle. This overall affects movement because, an individual would find it very difficult to move the affected body part because, this would be very painful if the specific muscle or the joint which, is in relation to the muscle is being used as the muscles will also be very stiff (1 and 2). Overall, this will leave the muscles or tendons to be very weak which means, an individual would have a lack of ability to use the muscles all together (2).
