Transverse Humeral Ligament
Introduction The transverse humeral ligament is a fibrous band that runs horizontally across the top of the shoulder joint, connecting the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus bone. It forms a roof over the bicipital groove, which houses the long head of the biceps tendon. The primary function of this ligament is to hold…
Buerger’s test
The Buerger test is used to assess arterial sufficiency. It carries Leo Buerger’s name. The angle at which the supine leg must be raised before it fades is called the vascular angle, also known as Buerger’s angle. Even when the limb is elevated 90 degrees, the toes and sole of the foot remain pink in…
Bone Spur on the top of the Foot
Description A bone spur on the top of the foot, also known as a dorsal exostosis, is a bony outgrowth that can develop on the upper surface of the foot. This condition typically occurs at the joints or tendons, often in response to prolonged stress, friction, or pressure. Bone spurs are usually a result of…
Concave Convex Rule
In physical therapy programs, the convex-concave rule is often discussed in the context of joint mobilizations or manipulations. The rule provides guidance on how the shapes of joint surfaces (convex or concave) affect the direction of movement during joint mobilization techniques. Here’s a brief explanation of the rule in the context of arthrokinematics and physical…

Elbow Joint Stiffness
Definition Elbow joint stiffness refers to a condition characterized by a reduced range of motion or limited movement in the elbow joint. Usually, the elbow joint allows for bending (flexion) and straightening (extension) of the arm, as well as some rotation of the forearm. However, in cases of stiffness, these movements become restricted, making it…

They are named for their similarity to small earthworms or “lumbrical.” These muscles are responsible for various movements and functions within the hand. Because of their worm-like impression (lumbrical means earthworm in Latin), the 4 short intrinsic muscles of…

Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE)
Description Pain neuroscience training is an approach used to manage and treat chronic pain. It is based on the understanding that chronic pain is not simply a direct result of tissue damage, but rather a complex interaction of various factors, including physical, psychological, and social factors. The primary goal of pain neuroscience education is to…
