Nuwakot is an underdeveloped district in central Nepal, lying between upper extremities of the Himalayas and warmer subtropical lowlands of the Gangetic plain.
The ROAD consists of 12 items assessing a patient's level of functional ability and includes questions related to fine movements of the upper extremity, locomotor activities of the lower extremity, and activities that involve both upper and lower extremities.
Electromyography (EMG) of the upper extremity, the wrist flexion/extension movements, and the whole body photography were recorded to quantify the changes in posture and upper extremity biomechanics.
The primary study outcome is functional abilities of the upper extremity, assessed with the Action Research Arm Test.
Cutaneous innervation of the upper extremity originates, via the brachial plexus, from spinal cord levels C3 T2.
Motion analysis of the upper extremity is challenging because of the great glenohumeral ROM.
In present study, the deterioration of the upper extremities, in contrast to the lower extremities, is comparatively slow and subtle.
One experimental group imagines movements of the fractured upper extremity without executing them (mental practice).
Volunteers were given a questionnaire to determine if they had undergone venopuncture or vascular access within the previous week, history of upper extremity thrombosis, history of humerus fracture, upper extremity deformity, or upper extremity surgery.
The range of motion of the free upper extremity is, however, far greater than that of the lower extremity.
Venous thrombosis of the upper extremity is a recognized complication of critical illness.
