Regional Terms

Regional Terms

Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

Anatomical Positions

Anatomical Positions

In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature

The vertebral column or spine is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord.
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...

Medical Informatics
Public Health

Background:

Telemedicine originated to serve remote populations and areas with limited healthcare professionals.
It has evolved into a convenient medical care tool and became essential during pandemics.
Validating telemedicine is crucial for continuous patient care and avoiding negative health outcomes due to lack of follow-up.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the role and effectiveness of telemedicine in assessing orthopedic conditions.
To establish a reliable virtual assessment technique for adapting to current healthcare challenges.

Main Methods:

A systematic virtual evaluation approach was employed.
The study focused on assessing various orthopedic pathologies using telemedicine.

Main Results:

Telemedicine proved to be a valuable tool for the assessment of orthopedic pathologies.
Virtual assessment techniques can be effectively implemented.

Conclusions:

Telemedicine is an essential and effective method for orthopedic patient assessment.
Virtual evaluations are critical for maintaining patient care continuity, particularly in pandemic situations.
