...Physiology 244 Animal practical 1 08/08/2014 Exercise 1 Question 1 The amplitude of the muscle contraction increased as the voltage increased until a threshold was met. Question 2 The smallest voltage that resulted in a contraction would be that of 0.0500V. Only a portion of the muscle fibers contracted at the above mentioned voltage while the other fibers were relaxed. Given the small force produced at this low voltage (0.0370 N) in comparison to that of the voltage that resulted in the largest contraction (0.1940N) less than 20 percent of the fibers contracted at this voltage. Question 3 The smallest voltage that produced the largest contraction would be that of 0.8000V. During this stimulus 100 percent of the muscle fibers were contracted because at a voltage of 0.8000 a supramaximal excitation voltage of 1.2000 V was calculated. Question 4 It can be concluded that as the voltage was raised to result in a maximal contraction there was an increase in the percentage of muscle fibers that contracted. As the voltage of stimulus increases the percentage of muscle fibers contracting increases until the maximal contraction is reached. After the maximal contraction is reached the percentage of muscle fiber contractions decreases. Question 5 The individual muscle cells follow the all or none law (when the muscle cell is adequately stimulated it will contract ) however the muscle consists of thousands of muscle cells and react to stimuli with a graded response. The graded...

...Assignment 2 M1- Assess the ole of effective communication and interpersonal interaction in Health and Social Care with reference to two theories of communication. In this assignment I will assess the role of effective communication and interpersonal interaction in health and social care with reference to the theories of communication and from watching the video clip of David and his physiotherapist. Communication involves a two way process in which each person tries to understand the new point of another person. Michael Argyle (1972) argued that interpersonal communication was a skill that could be learned and developed as driving a car. He developed a theory of the communication cycle of having six stages which are 1. An idea occurs 2.Message coded 3. Message sent 4. Message received 5.Message decoded 6.Message understood. On the other hand another theorist Tuckman believed that communication in groups was influenced by the degree of people understanding each other. There four stages to his theory which are 1.Forming, 2.Storming, 3.Norming and four performing. Both types of communication were used in the physiotherapy session. I will be looking at each stage of communication in detail giving strengths and weaknesses for each. I will start with Michael Argyle. The communication Cycle-Michael Argyle 1. Idea occurs This is the first stage of the communication cycle. For someone to get the message of what you wanted to say it is a result of an idea occurring. You think...

...Orthopedic Surgeons, 2011). Patellar dislocation occurs when the patella (kneecap) slides laterally out of the patella femoral groove where it normally rests (Ebraheim, 2011). Anatomy The patella bone protects the largest joint in the body, the knee (Temertzoglou & Challen, 2003). The knee is made through the union of 3 bones; the femur, tibia and the patella. (Physio Advisor, n.d.). The patella is situated at the anterior aspect of the knee and lies within the patellofemoral groove (Ebraheim, 2011) which, according to Physio Advisor (n.d.) is located on anterior of the femur. The patella is enveloped by the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, and then goes on to attach to the anterior surface of the tibia (Physio Advisor, n.d.). This relationship forms a joint designed to give the quadriceps muscle leverage when extending the knee (Sports Injury Clinic, n.d.). Each of the bones involved is lined with cartilage to allow cushioning between the bones. The patella also has connective tissue known as the patella retinaculum which attaches it on either side of the femur. This joint is known as the patellofemoral joint (Physio Advisor, n.d.). The patella normally lies in the patellofemoral grove and is only designed to move vertically within it, so dislocation occurs when the patella moves or is moved onto the outside of the patellofemoral groove and onto the lateral femoral condyle (Sports Injury Clinic, n.d.).The patella is usually dislocated laterally however vertical, superior and...

...systems is that they include a gyroscope, accelerometer. Which together, they both combine and take into account the total impacts ( tackle, carry, ruck ) and the force/intensity of each impact that each player endures throughout the game. With these stats now readily available Munster Rugby are making great progress for strength and conditioning, but more importantly for injury management. The S&C staff have a training plan for each session, as it is their job to make sure each athlete is in pristine condition to perform on match day. The GPS provide live “real-time” feedback which is monitored during each training session so they know when they need to cut a session or even make it easier to allow players to feel fresh the next day. The physio department find the new GPS extremely helpful, as players wear it during training, and the device monitors everything, the stats are then logged so they then have a baseline for each...

On a daily basis Physical Therapists are expected to do the following: develop medical treatment plans, record patient medical histories, examine patients to assess general physical condition, analyze patient data to determine patient needs or treatment goals, monitor patient progress or responses to treatments, and evaluate patient outcomes to determine effectiveness. Physical Therapists can find employment in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, sports medicine/athletic facilities, outpatient clinics, and rehab facilities. In Virginia there are 4,910 physical therapists employed as of 2014, and by 2024 there is predicted to be 6,670 employed. In the United...

...34). As time had passed, she was beginning to change emotionally; with the support she was receiving from her family and friends, she was getting better. She was becoming more optimistic about her future and she was determined to recover. Anna was making more improvements; she could finally get out of bed without anyone assisting her or holding onto objects to help her balance when she walks. After Anna’s incident, she has noticed her boyfriend’s sudden change in behaviour. Hayden has become more distant from Anna ever since; she cannot tell him how she truly feels in the inside because she believes that they are no longer close as they use to be. This was due to how Hayden was handling the situation; he was worried more about the cost of physio and insurance rather than taking time out and caring for Anna. Throughout the novel, Anna had realised her feelings for Luke, a man who worked for Anna’s mother was real; no matter how much she tried to hide it, her feelings for him got stronger. Nothing Hayden ever did made Anna feel special anymore; she confessed to Hayden that if the accident never occurred, then their relationship could have worked. “Shouldn’t my heart lurch at the sound of his voice? Shouldn’t I want him to hold me tight against him till the cold lump of ice inside has melted and I’m me again?” (Page 113). As the novel progresses, Anna was finally taking control of her own life and eliminating the negativity in her life. She learnt the importance of life as she no...

The present study confirms the generally accepted notion that UM and USM are the leading public universities. These two universities are the oldest in Malaysia, established in 1959 and 1969 respectively. In fact, both these universities were ranked at the top 200 in the first THES-QS Best Universities ranking in 2004. UM continues to be ranked in the top 200 of the 2014 QS Best Universities ranking. In 2012, UM became the first university to be ranked in the Shanghai Jia Tong AWRU top 500 universities. It is now ranked in the 301–400 list of the AWRU 2014.
