Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

5.0K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

4.1K
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

1.4K
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.

Accessory Structures of the Eye01:17

Accessory Structures of the Eye

3.1K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles01:29

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles

5.2K
The period of muscle contraction primarily influences the duration of stimulation at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the presence of free calcium ions in the sarcoplasm, and the availability of energy or ATP to support contractions.
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open....

Area of Science:

  • Ergonomics
  • Occupational health
  • Behavior change technology

Background:

  • Neck pain is prevalent among computer workers due to prolonged static postures.
  • While motivated, workers struggle to consistently perform workplace neck exercises.
  • Existing solutions often lack engaging features for sustained use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate computer workers' habits and attitudes towards workplace neck exercises.
  • To design and evaluate a novel system (Neckio) for encouraging posture variation and neck exercises.
  • To assess Neckio's potential as a behavior change support technology for reducing neck pain risk.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 130 computer workers on work habits and exercise attitudes.
  • Developed Neckio: an interactive application with a wireless angulation sensing appliance for headsets.
  • Conducted a short-term user experience evaluation of Neckio in an office environment with 10 participants.

Main Results:

  • Survey revealed high motivation but low compliance with neck exercise programs.
  • Neckio's user experience evaluation in an office setting was positive.
  • Participants reported intrinsic motivation to perform neck exercises using Neckio.

Conclusions:

  • Neckio shows promise in encouraging posture variation and facilitating workplace neck exercises.
  • The system has potential as a behavior change support technology for computer workers.
  • Neckio may help reduce the risk of developing neck pain in this population.
