It is a somatic efferent nerve. ANATOMY OF ABDUCENS NERVE : The abducens nerve arises from the abducens nucleus in the pons of the brainstem….
Voluntary control grading typically involves evaluating the individual’s ability to voluntarily initiate, sustain, and coordinate movements in specific body parts affected by spasticity or motor impairments. It helps to determine the extent of functional limitations and provides a baseline for tracking progress or evaluating treatment interventions. VOLUNTARY MOTOR CONTROL GRADING SYNERGY ABNORMAL SYNERGY IN UPPER…
What is a Pes Anserine Bursitis? Anatomy Causes of Pes Anserine Bursitis Symptoms of Pes Anserine Bursitis Epidemiology There is significant overlap with other knee disorders, making the precise prevalence of this condition in the general population uncertain. However, pes anserine pain was common in around one-third of 1% of participants in a big research…
Semimembranosus tendinopathy (SMT) is an uncommon cause of chronic knee pain. Owing to a lack of understanding of the condition, it may be under-diagnosed or inadequately treated. The incidence of semimembranosus tendinopathy is unknown in the athletic population and is probably more common in older patients. The usual presentation for SMT is pain on the…
Osgood Schlatter’s Disease is a tibial tuberosity apophysitis, which is the medical name for inflamed bone at the site of the tibial tuberosity growth plate, in children. Osgood Schlatter’s disease is an inflammation of the bone at the top of the tibia (shin bone), where the tendon from the patella (kneecap) attaches. It is an…
A plica is a fold of synovial membrane most commonly in the anteromedial aspect of the knee. A knee plica is present in about 50% of the population and is the remnants of embryonic connective tissue that failed to resorb during your fetal development fully. Luckily, most plicae are asymptomatic. Plica syndrome is essentially an…
