The lat pulldown is an open kinetic chain exercise ( 1) intended to improve strength, endurance, and hypertrophy in muscles of the back, shoulder girdle, shoulder, and elbow joints ( 2-9 ). They can be performed with many types of equipment including selectorized, plate-loaded, pneumatic (compressed fluid/air) resistance machines, adjustable

Fryette's Laws is a set of three laws pertaining to skeletal anatomy named after Harrison Fryette, D.O. The laws are defined as a set of guiding principles used by practitioners of osteopathic medicine to discriminate between dysfunctions in the axial skeleton. The first two laws solely apply to the lumbar and thoracic spinal regions, but the

SPINAL CONTRIBUTION. Spinal orientation also plays an important role in facilitating optimal scapula kinematics during overhead lifting tasks. During shoulder elevation, extension of the spine, particularly in the thoracic region, promotes efficient shoulder function through its interaction with the scapula ( 11,12 ).

Thoracic spine fractures were only associated with rib fractures. ... coupled with a wide range of motion, results in nerve root damage via ipsilateral pinching and contralateral stretching of the nerve roots [7]. Moreover, our results showed that patients with T-spine fractures were more likely to experience concomitant rib fractures while

Quality scoring.All studies included in the review were analyzed by the SBC biomechanical quality checklist. The checklist involves 16 items that measure quality of reporting for specimen, methods, analysis, and application of the biomechanical analysis; it was previously used to measure coupling of the thoracic spine 22.Three of the 16 criteria from the checklist that were based on spinal or

The isometric contraction was held at a position with 90 degrees of shoulder forward flexion and 90 degrees of elbow flexion (Essentially a bar position which finds the bar 1-2 inches above eye level) 3.

in vitro studies of rib cage biomechanics have used animal spines or human cadaveric spines with ribs left unsecured, limiting the ability of the ribs to contribute to stability. Methods. Eight upper thoracic specimens that included 4 ribs and sternum were tested in special fixtures that disallowed relative movement of the distal ribs and their vertebrae. While applying 7.5 Nm pure moments in

Scapulohumeral rhythm serves at least two purposes. It preserves the length-tension relationships of the glenohumeral muscles; the muscles do not shorten as much as they would without the scapula's upward rotation, and so can sustain their force production through a larger portion of the range of motion. It prevents impingement between the

Section snippets Anatomic considerations. The SA arises from the lateral aspects of the first nine ribs (Fig. 1). 2 These attachments appear "serrated," hence explaining the origin of the muscle's name. From the ribs, the expansive muscle flows posteriorly, in front of the scapula, ultimately attaching to the anterior surface of the entire medial border of the scapula.

We applied these methods into the electromyogram (EMG) signals recorded from eight muscles involved in the sequence of the wrist movements [wrist flexion (WF), wrist flexion transmission to wrist extension (MC) and wrist extension (WE)] in 12 healthy people. The results showed three synergistic flexor pairs (FCR-PL, FCR-FDS, and PL-FDS) in the

Background Exercise beliefs abound regarding variations in strength training techniques on muscle activation levels yet little research has validated these ideas. The purpose of the study is to determine muscle activation level, expressed as a percent of a normalization contraction, of the latissimus dorsi, biceps brachii and middle trapezius/rhomboids muscle groups during a series of

Petheram et al 15 proposed that an increase in the kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae, coupled with the weight of the head, results in an anterior shift of the center of gravity . As the head becomes progressively more flexed and translates more anteriorly, the lever arm that acts on the cervical spine stresses the neck extensors.

A dominant theory of how bipedal locomotion emerged was based on the concept of a survival advantage on the African savanna (see summary in ( 12 )). That is, the ability to stand up and walk on the hindlimbs would provide an advantage to be able to view, intercept, avoid, or select predators, prey, and foraging items.
