Neuro Note 1: I Got Hit By a Boat

July 19, 2021

For my neuro note, I read an article by Tyson Ward called, "I Got Hit By a Boat," where he talked about his journey to recovery after being in a major boating accident his junior year of college. It was very interesting to learn about the many miracles that Tyson and his family experienced in the year following his accident. He went from being hooked up to tubes to keep him alive, to comas, ulcers, memory loss, seizures, extensive therapy and eventually getting back to the life he knew before the accident. I really enjoyed the Tyson explained certain terms to make it more retable to those who may not understand what was going on his brain during his recovery process. For example, he explained his weight loss during his coma by saying that his brain chose to go into a coma when it was not in good enough shape to keep him in an aware state and repair all of his injuries. It (the brain) knows that the body is in no sort of shape to do anything positive in an awake state...

Media Project Neuro

August 29, 2021

For my media project, I was assigned a case study for a 68 year old named Dennis. Dennis recently had a stroke and was brought into the emergency room due to an unbearable headache, slurred speech, and loss of control on his left side. After 10 days, Dennis was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. Dennis enjoys gardening and woodworking and his goal is to return to those hobbies. After an evaluation, Dennis has deficits in visual perception, particularly with figure-ground and spatial relations. He also demonstrates left neglect, completely neglecting objects on his left side while getting ready. He has great difficult dressing (unable to figure out front from back or sleeve hole from neck hole) and needs maximum assistance to do so. Dennis is able to transfer with minimum assistance and ambulates with a hemi walker. He interacts well with the staff, teasing them and involving humor in his interactions, but does not understand why he has to be in a rehabilitatio...

Biomechanics Activity Analysis

March 22, 2021

Each morning, I start my day drinking a cup of coffee. First, I flex my arm at the shoulder to reach for the mug in the sagittal plan and the frontal axis. While completing these motion, I also flex at the elbow and extend at the shoulder to bring the mug to my face. Both of the actions are also done in the sagittal plane about the frontal axis. Finally, I perform ulnar deviation in the frontal plane about the sagittal axis to tilt the mug so that I can take a sip. When performing elbow flexion, the prime movers are the brachialis, biceps brachii, and brachioradialis. They all concentrically contract. The osteokinematics of flexion of the shoulder occur in an open kinematic chain. The humerus forms a fixed concave surface, so it rolls and slides in the same direction when moving.
