Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...
Angina III: Clinical Manifestations and Assessment01:29

Angina III: Clinical Manifestations and Assessment

Angina manifests as chest pain, tightness, or squeezing discomfort typically located behind the breastbone. It can radiate to the neck, jaw, shoulders, and inner aspects of the upper arms, most commonly the left arm. Patients may experience shortness of breath, fatigue, profuse sweating, dizziness, indigestion, heartburn, palpitations, anxiety, and vomiting as accompanying symptoms. This pain often lasts a few minutes and is triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, heavy meals, or cold...
Angina V: Nursing Management01:20

Angina V: Nursing Management

Angina, a symptom of myocardial ischemia, requires a structured nursing management approach to ensure effective care and prevent complications like myocardial infarction. Comprehensive nursing care involves assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes, all tailored to the individual patient's needs.Patient AssessmentNursing assessment begins with a detailed subjective evaluation of symptoms, which typically include chest pain or pressure radiating to the...
Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation01:23

Assessment of the Abdomen III: Palpation

Palpation is a crucial tactile examination method for assessing abdominal organs and detecting conditions like tenderness, distention, masses, or fluid. It involves both light and deep palpation techniques, each serving specific diagnostic purposes. Light palpation helps identify tenderness and other surface-level indicators, while deep palpation locates and assess abdominal masses and organ boundaries. A skilled professional can gather valuable insights through palpation, including evaluating...

Summary

Virtual reality (VR) assessment shows reduced cervical range of motion (CROM) in neck pain patients, offering greater sensitivity than conventional methods. A single VR session improved CROM, highlighting its potential for functional assessment and enhancement.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Musculoskeletal Health

Background:

  • Neck pain is a prevalent condition affecting 30-50% annually.
  • Current cervical range of motion (CROM) assessments lack a gold standard and may not reflect functional movements.
  • A novel VR environment using electromagnetic tracking was developed for more functional cervical motion assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Compare CROM in chronic neck pain patients versus asymptomatic individuals using VR.
  • Validate VR assessment against conventional methods.
  • Evaluate the diagnostic value and CROM enhancement effects of VR.

Main Methods:

  • Collected CROM data from 25 symptomatic and 42 asymptomatic individuals via VR and conventional assessments.
  • Employed analysis of variance to compare groups and methods.
  • Utilized logistic regression to assess diagnostic ability.

Main Results:

  • Both methods confirmed significant CROM limitations in the neck pain group.
  • VR measures demonstrated higher CROM and sensitivity; conventional measures showed greater specificity.
  • A single VR session led to a significant increase in CROM.

Conclusions:

  • Neck pain is strongly linked to reduced CROM, verifiable by both VR and conventional assessments.
  • VR offers functional CROM assessment and can be used for CROM improvement.
  • VR assessment exhibits superior sensitivity for identifying symptomatic individuals.
