Muscles that Move the Arm

Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles. The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

The eight-arm radial water maze is designed to evaluate reference and working memory performance simultaneously by requiring subjects to use extra-maze cues to locate escape platforms and remedies the limitations observed in land based radial arm maze designs.

Comparison Tests

An infinite series composed of positive terms may either approach a finite value or increase without bound. Determining which outcome occurs is a central task in calculus, and comparison tests provide structured methods for making this determination. Rather than evaluating a series directly, these tests relate it to another series whose behavior is already known, allowing conclusions to be drawn through logical comparison.The direct comparison test applies to series with positive terms. If each...

2016
We developed a real-time mirror robot system for functional recovery of hemiplegic arms using automatic control technology, conducted a clinical study on healthy subjects, and determined tasks through feedback from rehabilitation doctors. This simple mirror robot can be applied effectively to occupational therapy in stroke patients with a hemiplegic arm.
FAQs
Detector design and field of view are central comparison points because they influence how anatomical views are captured and displayed during live imaging. Reviewers should consider whether the system provides an appropriate viewing area and image presentation for the intended procedure. Examining these features together supports more meaningful assessment of image quality than considering either characteristic alone.
Mobility and operating-room integration provide the main basis for distinguishing mobile from fixed C-arm systems. A comparison should examine how each configuration fits the procedural environment, supports equipment movement or placement, and integrates into workflow. These factors help institutions evaluate whether a system’s physical arrangement matches their available space and clinical needs.
Radiation management belongs in the comparison because C-arm fluoroscopy uses X-ray imaging during procedures, making imaging practice relevant to safer planning. Evaluators should review how each system addresses radiation management alongside image quality and workflow. Considering these factors together helps clinicians and institutions weigh procedural efficiency without treating image performance as the only selection criterion.
Begin by identifying the procedures and care settings in which the system will be used. Then compare image quality, detector design, field of view, mobility, operating-room integration, radiation management, and workflow. Finally, relate the findings to equipment selection, imaging efficiency, and procedural planning. This structured process prevents one technical feature from determining the decision alone.
The intended application should guide which comparison criteria receive the most attention. Orthopedic surgery, pain interventions, vascular procedures, and emergency care may require different balances among anatomical visualization, mobility, room integration, and workflow. Rather than selecting a system on a general specification, clinicians and institutions can compare capabilities against the demands of their particular procedural settings.
A well-designed comparison can support informed equipment selection, more efficient imaging, and safer procedural planning. Its value comes from connecting technical characteristics, such as the X-ray source, image receptor, detector design, and field of view, with practical workflow and operating-room requirements. The resulting assessment gives institutions a structured basis for evaluating systems in clinical context.
