The overhead football throw is one of the most popular sports movements amongst young males in America. It is an overhead throw with a football, which quarterbacks make when they throw the ball, usually for a great distance. Due to the shape of the ball, it should also have a particular twisting pattern so that the throw may be more accurate and fast. The main joints involved are the elbow and the shoulder, so it is important to take them into account when discussing the motion’s biomechanics. The starting position of the movement is simply standing up, with ...

Ruth Livingstone was a 65-year-old African-American woman brought to the agency by her son. I first met Ruth during her admission day where we collected details of her medical past.

The essay offers a perspective on the popularity of Gothic ivories and how they encouraged the devotional practice. The ivory diptychs were used as sophisticated tools and were seen as physical vestiges of the divine. Gothic ivories were the visual cues ...

Flu is a viral disease that influences for the most part the nose, throat, bronchi and, once in a while, lungs. Disease typically goes on for around a week, and is portrayed by sudden onset of high fever, hurting muscles, cerebral pain and extreme disquietude, non-beneficial hack, sore throat and rhinitis (WHO, 2016). The name "flu" started in fifteenth century Italy, from a plague ascribed to "impact of the stars." The principal pandemic, or overall pestilence, that unmistakably fits the portrayal of flu was in 1580. No less than four pandemics of flu happened in the nineteenth century, and ...

Euthanasia is the deliberate assistance by medical staff to a terminally ill patient to end his life so as to end his or her suffering. Euthanasia should be made legal since the patient has a right to avoid the suffering he or she will undergo leading to death. Under the Procon website, there are a few reasons that oppose euthanasia in the United States. They go contrary to my earlier view that euthanasia should be legalized in the United States. First, killing of patients by the medical staff is considered illegal under the Hippocratic Oath. Doctors take this oath ...

One of the concepts that was taken up in class has something to do with memory. The class learned how important memory is in everyday activities, as it gives people the ability to recall facts, recognize faces, make inferences, and know how or when to do things. It is critical in all cognitive processes, which is why it is important for people to know what memory is, as it is used in the everyday activities of humans, even when they are asleep.

Part 1: Principle

Memory is defined as “a diverse set of cognitive capacities by which we retain information and reconstruct ...

When I play tennis, my body moves with agility and balance on the court. It is worth noting that tennis is not merely an upper-body sport aimed at hitting the ball back over the net. Since a sharp reaction to a ball is required, my feet never stop moving. In tennis, the majority of movements are side to side, and apparently, motor skills are vital. By the way, shoulders do not tilt on volleys and groundstrokes, as the racquet arm maintains balance. A combination of horizontal and vertical movements takes place during the tennis serve, whereas rather smaller joint ...

Discuss the therapeutic effects of Ultrasound in the treatment of a tennis elbow soft tissue injury

Introduction The ultrasound is used as a treatment for soft tissue injuries using sound waves that are beyond the range of normal hearing. An ultrasound consists of inaudible high frequency mechanical vibrations (Gibbs, Cole and Sassano, 2009) which are created upon the conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy through mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric crystal which lies within the transducer (Rheumatology, 2011). Therapeutic ultrasound uses a frequency between 0.75 and 3 MHz (Knight, Knight and Draper, 2013) for heating deeper and superficial tissues. Low frequency ultrasound at 1 Mhz is absorbed by tissues up to 3 to 5 cm ...

The origin of simple machines is indefinite. Ancient people might have used the idea of a pulley when they lifted heavy objects by throwing crude ropes or vines over tree branches, or the first levers were probably logs used to move heavy objects. Notwithstanding their antiquities, simple machines are significant sources of ease and comfort for all people living until today’s generation.

Millions of people ride a bike or motorcycle everyday and almost everyone uses a switch to turn on the lights or need a simple handle to open a door. Generally, people use levers, pulleys, inclined planes, ...

Communication is dynamic, especially if seen through the eyes of different cultures. It is important for the communicator to be sensitive to his or her audience in order to get the right message across. This was discussed in Halasek’s work, Pedagogy Of Possibilities. When talking about communication, we see that there are different styles. You can address an audience, have a conversation with someone or communicate in form of a letter or written words. Human communication is strange, not because of the different ways there are to communicate, but how the messages are translated. All three papers on communication have ...

Introduction

Therapeutic ultrasound is categorically as any form of ultrasonic procedure where ultrasound is used in advancing therapeutic benefits. Ultrasound is defined as a systematic oscillating pressure wave that has a higher frequency capacity compared to the human hearing frequency range. Its frequency in most cases supersedes the upper limit of the hearing range of human beings .The execution of the procedures is normally under the use of focused ultrasound (FUS) and unfocused ultrasound. Therapeutic ultrasound is used to reduce pain that emanates from body tissues by providing a viable solution to swelling and edema of the tissues. . Secondly, it is used to ...

The onset of jazz music was a luxurious and monumental thing for New Orleanians. Though music was essential to life in New Orleans throughout the nineteenth century, no sound that welcomed everybody. New Orleans was a diverse place where Creole, French, Spanish, and African cultures, among others, all lived elbow to elbow, with seemingly nothing in common other than a love for music. During the 1870’s could be heard everywhere. New Orleans was filled with the folky sounds inspired by European immigrants, and the distinct beats of African and Caribbean inspired musicians. As the turn of the century approached, these two ...

Introductory Essay – The Differences in the Female Nude

Throughout the history of fine art, one of the many recurring images found within it is the image of the female nude. The appreciation and replication of the female body in its purest form has fascinated artists for centuries, and some variation of it seems to appear in nearly every era or movement of art. To that end, it is interesting to note the changes that occur in style, composition, attitude and meaning between the different eras of art when dealing with the singular, unifying subject of the female nude. This exhibition seeks to examine the female nude in ...

Introduction

Ultrasound can be defined as the use of high frequency sound waves (having a frequency above the range, which is audible to the normal human ear, i. e. varying between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz) for changing the chemical properties of a substance (Ter Haar, 1999). Besides medical imaging, nowadays ultrasound has become an important therapy for the management of several orthopaedic clinical conditions (Ter Haar, 1999). Stimulation of the tissues beneath the skin’s surface using high frequency sound waves is likely to result in several therapeutic benefits. Tennis elbow (TE) or lateral humeral epicondylitis can be considered ...

Introduction

The clothing that the people of 18th century Europe wore has the ability to fascinate us like some objects of their material culture do. Clothing is intimate, for example, an eighteenth century garment seen in a museum collection, usually elicits an instinctive urge to touch it. To some of us, we have the desire to experience the elaborate decoration, the beautiful fabrics and the tactile qualities found in 18th century Europe clothing no longer with our own clothing. To other people, these desires are raised by the need to understand the people from the past a little better.

How the clothes were made

Question 1

The cerebellum is an essential part of the neuromuscular system in that it plays major roles in the timing of muscular activities and the smooth progression of one muscular movement to the next. The summary of how this is done is that it sequences all the muscular activities necessary for a particular movement, and then makes corrective adjustments as necessary when the movement is being executed so that they conform to the motor impulses being generated by the cerebral cortex and other significant parts of the central nervous system (Ganong, 2005). For instance, for an individual holding a cup and ...

Posture analysis can be referred to as an evaluation of person's posture in search of signs of injuries, and poor habits of posture that can result in trauma in the future. In a set up of a clinic, such evaluations of a patient can be important for determination of the sources of postural strain as well as development of a suitable program of treatment. This technique may as well be applied for things such as assisting a person grow a more ergonomic workspace, right athletic shoes, and so on (Toronto Chiropracter, 2013). There has been carried out an extensive study on human posture in ...

1. Principle of specificity: only the muscles trained will respond. a. Provide a concrete example of the principle of specificity to athletics/sports preparation, personal fitness training, or rehabilitation. 2 points. Specifity is the change that occurs in the body as a result of training. Specificity in athletics comes in when the athlete trains repeatedly performing specific activities in preparation for the exact requirements of a sport. Distant runners require doing exercises that would make them adapt to sustained running. On the other hand, throwers need to train in a way to build up their muscles in size and thickness in order to ...

Introduction

The free throw shot is arguably the single most important shot in a game of basketball. Close to twenty percent of all the points in the National Collegiate Athletic Association division one basketball are scored by score throws. The free throw is especially more important late in a basketball game. This is because the free throw accounts for a significant percentage of the total point scored in the last five minutes and the first thirty five minutes of a basketball game. This applies for both the losing and winning teams. ‘Theoretically, the free shot should be the easiest shot to make in a game ...

Peter Elbow wrote a very interesting article titled “Writing First”. In it, he posits the idea that it discourages children from learning if you put reading before writing, like what is traditionally done. He also proposes that, for college students, writing before completing a reading assignment in either a creative writing class or philosophy class can help the student to approach the assignment with an open and an especially inquiring mind. What Elbow proposes is intriguing, and it makes sense. Now, I do not completely agree with him when he says that children should be taught to read by learning first to ...

Patients with Post-Stroke Hemiparetic Upper Limb

Abstract The US and Europe are both experiencing the coming of age of an elderly population which is prone to strokes and will need health care focused on post-stroke therapies. The most promising therapies are robot-assisted motion exercises coupled with Non-invasive Brain Simulations (NBS) such as Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (TMS). At this time the most attractive combination for both effective and affordable therapy is the use of simply designed, easily manipulated robot systems coupled with TMS. Since 2003 the area of neurorehabilitation has been growing with many effective and exciting designs in robotics. It hasn’t been very ...

MEMORANDUM

Introduction The issue of audience appeal to advertisements, memos, letters and other communication materials is pertinent in harnessing the will and trust in customers or employees. This therefore means that commercials must be written in a fine-tuned reader’s perspective (reader based writing) rather than a writer-based writing. Reader-based writing, unlike the writer-based writing is geared towards creating a shared context with the reader. It begins with a structure which is reader issue centered, manipulates the information of the audience, and links a relationship of facts. On the other hand, writer-based writing is normal writing which reflects a writer’s narrative thoughts, conceptions or ...

“Sit down, child,” said Nana, her voice full of kindness. I rolled my eyes a bit; I’m thirteen already, I thought, I’m not a child. However, I acquiesced to my grandmother’s request and sat down next to her. The wooden chair creaked under my weight, indicating it was on its last legs. I really did not want to be here; I had other things to do. It was the summer before high school, and so I wanted to hang out with my friends, talk to Derek about whether or not he liked me too, and everything else that ...

Movement of the forearm

Movements of various parts of the body is mainly controlled by the group of muscles located around the parts of the body and crossing the joints that hold the part of the body and these group of muscles are usually supplied by nerves that coordinate the activities of those muscles and the movements that tend to occur at such region. Depending on the types of movements that usually occur at the part of the body, the group of muscle around the region usually, function to move the body at an opposite direction. Those muscles are usually located to run ...

Cerebral palsy or the medicinal name static encephalopathy is the group name used to explain a band of chronic movement disorders which affects body and muscle dexterity. These disorders are generally caused by injury to some areas of brain. The difficulty in movement can diverge from just visible to exceedingly severe.

Cerebral palsy is not a hereditary disorder and there exists no mechanism to predict the chances of baby to suffer from this condition. Cerebral palsy can’t be diagnosed at birth and is identified within the initial three years. Also, the conditions symptoms are unique for every individual and the ...

Once the thirst hub situated in the lateral hypothalamus informs the body of dehydration, it will react by stimulating drinking behavior. The brain sends sensory messages to appropriate muscles to lift the glass of water for drinking purposes. Impulses arise from the cerebral motor compound of the brain. The impulses then move via the corticospinal tract1, which traverses via the midbrain, the pons and the medulla until it departs from the skull via the occipital foramen and goes into the spinal cord. From the spinal cord, the impulse journeys through explicit nerves that branch outwardly on the spinal column ...

It has often been said that poetry and lyrics are one and the same: indeed, lyrics are undoubtedly the modern day equivalent of the popular poem of previous centuries; the rock stars are the poets. Whether poem or lyric, they convey human emotions, stories of love and loss, and conjure up imagery for the reader/listener to imagine. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the words and ideas of one poem with its song counterpart. For this, I have chosen Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats and the lyrics to My Very Best by Elbow. ...
