Structures in the musculoskeletal system can be affected by long-term wear and tear. Shoulder and neck pain are the most common musculoskeletal disorders one can get. Right sided neck
compression therapy How effective is MCT on the human body? Introduction First of all, what is Myofascial compression therapy (MCT) and does it have an immediate effect on the body? Lets start with a short breakdown of the word myofascia. Myo means Muscle and Fascia = everything else. According to Boston, 2007, fascia is defined as: ‘The soft tissue component of the connective tissue system.

Muscles Used By a Rowing Machine The rowing machine is an excellent full-body workout equipment that can help to enhance your cardiovascular function, strength, build muscles and burn calories. Rowing is one of the few exercises that can be done by people who have knee pains or weak joints because it is a low-impact workout. The rowing machine is said to work 84 percent of the muscles in the body, which is why it is so effective at building muscles. Getting the best out of the rowing machine requires
body. When standing still muscles co-contract to stabilise the body and prevent it from falling or flopping due to the effects of gravity. The key joints that stabilize the body are the ankle joint, knee joint, hip joint, vertebral column and the shoulder girdle. The soleus, gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior contract isometrically to keep the ankle stable at 90 degrees (Teachpe.com n.d.) (The previous reference identified was used to identify key joint types and muscles throughout my analysis).
of a leap. This shot has three phases; the preparation phase, execution phase and the follow through phase. In the preparation phase is taken place in a sagittal plane. The knees and hips are flexed prior to the extension. It pre-stretches the muscles that contracts in the jump. From an upright standing position at….. degree angle, the player initiates a decelerating downward movement where the abdominals are contracted to …….degree angle. The downward motion flexes the hips by eccentric contraction
forms of muscle strength. You get muscle strength in your biceps and your core muscles.

about ‘combing the hair’ • Back Examination o Motor examination of the upper limb is only complete after performing the examination of the upper back. o Inspection – Look for muscle wasting, winging of scapula and surgical scars. o Power (in addition to muscles of the shoulder girdle – refer above) Serratus anterior (C5, C6, C7): ‘Stand in front of the wall and push it with your hands’. Look at the back for winging of the lower scapula. Infraspinatus (C5, C6): ‘with the arms at the sides
abnormalities. This paper will provide knowledge of the anatomy, biomechanics, and correct rehabilitation involved with shoulder impingement. Impingement syndrome was originally described by Dr. Charles Neer as mechanical impingement of the supraspinatus muscle and the long head of the biceps tendon underneath the acromial arch. Neer classified three stages of impingement. Stage I is characterized by edema and hemorrhage of the rotator cuff and suprahumeral tissue. Stage II is characterized by fibrosis of
Analysis of the Free-Throw Shot When deciding about a movement to study, I thought about many, and very few interested me. Then I decided to choose something that was very important to me. Shooting the basketball, and more specifically the technique in performing a free throw. I thought by looking more closely at the details of a movement I have been doing since a small child. I thought possibly I could learn something that would give me an advantage in my shot. The application of this particular
“As contestant number one executes the movement, there’s a complete revolution of the body. Lunging headfirst, pushing off the ground…there’s the rebound and PERFECT!
