internal causes are: Extreme muscle strain, especially in someone who is an untrained athlete and also blocked blood vessels can cause this along with diseases of the muscles (myopathy) such as congenital muscle enzyme deficiency or Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. Rhabdomyolysis is treatable and patients may recover quickly if the disease is caught in its early stages. Treatment with intravenous (IV) fluids helps maintain urine production and prevent kidney failure. Rarely, dialysis treatment

As we move through our daily lives, our muscles become binded, underactive, and dysfunctional. Many of us never pay any attention to this occurrence until pain elicits a response urging us to seek medical attention. Of course, many people will turn to traditional medicine for a solution, often receiving medication to cover the pain caused; never correcting the root cause of the pain. As time moves on surgery may be suggested by the traditional practitioner and that solution only affords a few more

Unit 2 the muscular system The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles and takes up half of a person’s body weight .Each of these muscles is an organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves. Muscle tissue is also found inside of the heart, digestive organs, and blood vessels. Humans have three types of muscle skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscles. Muscle types

Saga Magazines... How does ageing affect you? MENOPAUSE The menopause, sometimes known as “the change of life”, is where a woman’s ovaries stop producing an egg every 4 weeks, meaning she no longer has periods and is unlikely to get pregnant. Monthly periods can sometimes stop suddenly when you reach the menopause; however it is more likely that your periods will become less frequent, with longer intervals between each one, before they stop altogether. In the UK, 51 is the average age for a

With Duchenne muscular dystrophy, individuals experience a decline in dexterity and gross motor skills as the condition progresses. As muscles atrophy, compensation for lack of strength and dexterity may include modified handles or grips and adapted utensils and the use of a motorized wheelchair. (Heller, Forney, Alberto, Best, & Schwartzman, 2009.) The individual and instructor will work with the special education team and therapists for compensatory positioning that allows access to various classroom

Justice Ross Physiology Lab Dr. Xu 2 March 2016 Frog Skeletal Muscle Lab Introduction A biologist by the name Jan Swammerdam performed the first experiments on muscle physiology between 1661 and 1665. Swammerdam demonstrated that an isolated frog muscle can contract if the sciatic nerve is irritated with a metal object. Almost a century later, a physician by the name Luigi Galvani demonstrated that frog muscle responds to electrical currents. In the late 1840s, either Carlo Matteucci or Carl

space with muscular boundaries: diaphragm (superior), abdominal and oblique muscles (anterior-lateral), paraspinal and gluteal muscles (posterior), and pelvic floor and hip girdle (inferior) (Akuthota V, Nadler SF, 2004). Core stability is the product of motor control and muscular capacity of the lumbo-pelvic hip complex (Leetun et al. 2004). Core stability requires adroitness in addition to core strength and endurance (Liemohn et al. 2005), It also requires that the abdominal muscular endurance
