Tonus is muscular or body tone. Tonus is defined as the continuous contraction of a muscle in the skeleton system which aids in the return of blood to the heart.

Tonus is the continous baseline muscle tone in the body.

Yes

Muscle tone

spinal cord

The state of activity or tension of a muscle beyond that related to its physical properties, that is, its active resistance to stretch. In skeletal muscle, tonus is dependent upon efferent innervation. A constant state of slight tension that serves to maintain the muscle in a state of readiness is known as tonus.

Tonus

The psychological condition characterized by extreme tonus is called catatonia. Catatonia is a state of psychomotor disturbance that can include immobility, excessive movement, or other abnormal behaviors related to muscle tone.

Toni- is the medical terminology combining form meaning tonus. The stimulation of individual muscle fibers maintains a state of muscle contration. This is important in maintaining the movement of blood and lymph through out the body

Close...the term is tonus.

Jacob Willem Langelaan has written:

'On muscle tonus' -- subject(s): Reflexes, Muscles

Thyroxine upregulates catecholamine receptors which is equivalent to increasing sympathetic tonus and thus directly contributing to increased gluconeogenesis.

1. Even when a muscle appears to be at rest, a certain amount of sustained contraction is occurring in its fibers. This is called muscle tone. (Muscle tone is a response to nerve impulses that originate repeatedly from the spinal cord and stimulate a few muscle fibers.) A tetanic contraction is when a forceful sustained contraction lacks even partial relaxation.

Muscle tone is the name for muscle's state of perpetual partial tension. It helps maintain posture, balance, and readiness for movement.

The state of partial skeletal muscle contraction is known as tonus. Muscles of the body do not have a real state of total relaxation.

Yes, there can be differences in muscle tone between dominant and non-dominant forearms. The dominant forearm is usually more developed and may have greater muscle tone due to being used more frequently for daily activities. Strengthening exercises and activities that target the non-dominant forearm can help balance out muscle tone between the two arms.

1 UK ton = 2240 lb

1 US ton = 2000 lb

so

251,098,200 lb = 215,098,200/2240 = 112,097.41 tonUK

251,098,200 lb = 215,098,200/2000 = 125,549.1 tonUS

Synergy is the term for the ability of muscles to be slightly contracted at all times to be ready to act. Most of the muscles are usually in this form.

Many different lifestyle choices can affect muscle tone. It depends on what you eat, how you train and how often you train. Smoking or drinking is not a great idea that can affect different kinds of muscles, smoking can damage the lungs so you are unfit and can't train as long as it takes.

Like many medical words, this is a combination of Greek and Latin. The prefix "a" meaning "not" modifies the root "tonus" or (muscle) tone. "Atony" means a lack of muscle tone, as in "After 6 weeks in a cast, his leg was markedly atonic". The same root-word is used in "hypertonic", or over-tense muscle and in the term "tonic-clonic seizure" used to describe alternating involuntary contraction and relaxation of muscles.

Yes, the arrector pili muscles contribute to maintaining skin tone. These small muscles are attached to hair follicles and contract in response to various stimuli, causing the hair to stand on end and the skin to form "goosebumps." This contraction helps to firm the skin and provide support.

A baby's or any human's muscle tone (tonus) is the balance of tension and relaxation of muscles required primarily to sit up or stand. Not how nice a baby or person's muscles appear or how strong they are, as the misnomer from the fitness industry describes. Babies first of all need enough muscle tone for their respiratory system to start breathing. Some babies have slow overall muscle tone development and take an unusually long time to stand or walk.

Rangitoto College's motto is 'Latin language'.

Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.

Dystonia is an abnormal condition of muscle tone. Some specific types of dystonia include atonia (no muscle tone); hypotonia (too little muscle tone); and hypertonia (too much muscle tone). Increased muscle tension can cause the muscle to go into spasm. This is called tetany.

I don't know which term of muscle tone you are referring to, but I have cerebral palsy, so I can answer this easily. There are two terms that commonly describe abnormal muscle tone. One is hypertonia and the other is hypotonia. In hypertonia, too much tone enters the body. Muscles become stiff and sometimes stuck in certain positions (e.g. walking on the toes). In hypotonia, there is not enough tone to perform certain tasks. Muscles may act floppy or uncontrolled. Tone is very powerful, so a person who has problems typically cannot overcome it on their own.

Phew! That's a doozy of a question. And this answer probably won't help you with your lifting. The 5 muscles typically called the abdominal group can flex, sidebend and rotate the trunk. And, in addition, they serve postural support (mainly the deeper transversus abdominus and internal oblique muscles) as well as breath management functions. So.... The abdominals antagonize/synergize with the diaphragm in breathing and given the extent to which the diaphragm is a postural muscle you could make the argument that it is an abdominal antagonist. Also, just about anything that extends the spine could be considered an antagonist including the lower lumbar muscles as well as those upperback muscles that pull the shoulder blades down and back (and the chest up as a result). Of course, we can't forget that the hip flexors should also be included because they can tug the anterior pelvis downard (the abs pull them up). And last but certainly not least they are their own antagonists in a number of complex inter-abdominal interactions. Obviously, the obliques on either side antagonize each other. Less obviously, the deep postural support of the transversus abdominus can resist the action of the rectus abs (the six-pack), preventing their increased tonus in those muscles from flexing the spine. You can feel that by exhaling forcibly without doubling over at the waist.

"Toning" is a myth. There is a concept in anatomy and physiology called residual muscle contraction or tonus, but it refers to the continuous and partial contraction of a muscle to help stabilize posture and balance. It has nothing to do with the outward appearance of your body or whether you have tight glutes and washboard abs. You can be out of shape and struggle to climb a flight of stairs and still have muscle tonus. What you are really referring to is a fit, physical appearance. Among men, being toned typically means being very lean, with a "chiseled" muscular physique. For women, it usually means being lean, but with shapely muscles, an overall "tight" look, flat abs and the absence of jiggle in the thighs and backs of the arms. An example of a "toned" male might be male model Tyson Beckford and for females, someone like actresses Jessica Biel or Jennifer Garner or female fitness model Amanda Carrier. While the "toned" aesthetic is highly subjective, many people view "toned" as striking a balance between having enough muscle to have nice muscle shape and definition, without crossing the line into having the very muscular physique of a male or female bodybuilder. So while a toned body may be very lean and tight, it typically won't have over-exaggerated muscle mass. To achieve a toned aesthetic, you have to have two things: # The presence of muscle # Relatively low body fat levels A typical training routine to reach this goal would involve plenty of resistance and weight training (to build muscle) combined with long duration and high intensity interval cardio. It also requires a very clean diet with a good mix of lean protein, healthy fats and complex, slow-burning carbohydrates. Diet is critical at helping reduce body fat and maintain these lower body fat levels, which are required to allow the muscle underneath to appear. While many "toning routines" will recommend lower weights and higher reps -- especially for women -- this is actually a counter-productive approach to body sculpting. High reps build muscle endurance and may create a temporary (usually lasting only a few hours) tightness and "pump" in the muscle, but adding additional muscle requires lifting heavier and with lower reps. While variation in exercise weight and reps is always a good thing, consistently training with low-weights and high repetitions in the hope of avoiding becoming "bulky" or over muscular will not result in a toned physique. The concern about becoming too muscular or bulky is especially prevalent among women. However, females typically do not have the hormonal environment present in males to produce very large muscles or large amounts of muscle mass. There are exceptions of course, depending on genetics, but most women will be typically happier with their results after switching to a lower-rep and higher-weight routine. The best approach to achieving an overall toned appearance is to follow a full-body workout routine which emphasizes compound exercises. This ensures balance among muscle groups and will encourage an overall symmetry in the physique. Exercises would include things like squats, lunges and deadlifts for the lower body, and large pressing motions for the upper body and shoulders like dumbbell chest presses, rows, and military or dumbbell shoulder presses. Bodyweight exercises would include things like pushups. The core and abs are typically worked with these exercises, although some people do like to add some abdominal-specific training into their full body workouts. In terms of cardio, you would typically perform a combination of lower-intensity, longer-duration cardio with higher-intensity, shorter-duration cardio, also known as HIIT. Generally, you would perform your cardio on your non-weight training days. While weight training can add in lower body-fat levels, it won't accomplish this alone. This is why it should be combined with regular cardio training. Also, maintaining an exercise log is also critical to making sure you are always making progress toward your goal. In your log, you should record your exercises, the weight you used, the amount of repetitions and how many sets. Each workout, you should try to beat your last workout in some way, whether that is using a little more weight, performing one more rep, or adding in an additional set. This is known as "progression" and it ensures that you are always challenging your muscles a little more each workout. This is critical for continued gains in muscle and strength.

Transdermal spinal and paraspinal ultrasound allows the doctor to see the soft tissues surrounding the actual spine bones (vertebrae). During therapy administration such as electro therapy or ultrasound therapy, the scanner ultrasound system can be safely employed to watch tissue changes to confirm or deny the value of the therapies administered. Orthopedic and chiropractic applications are usually employed in the 3.5 (three point five) to 5.0 (five point zero) MegaHertz range at approx. 1/100th watt scanner energy output. As a standard of care the Institute for Spinal Ultrasound Imaging has set power output and amplification levels such that the outline of the periosteum can be discerned. This standard allows both anatomical reference PLUS discernment of differential micro lymph dilations for diagnosis of inflammatory verses normal spinal/paraspinal environments. In some patients who may be suffering osteoporosis or osteo penia the periosteum may be abnormally thin and avascular thus making the standard impossible despite best efforts. Images for these patients should be preceded with a one vertebra multiple gain/power output series of images to prove "best efforts" has been given sufficient and honest trial. Ligaments. tendons, muscles. nerve roots, facet capsules, and general soft tissues can all be imaged for texture, inflammation, and in the case of muscles "tonus" (since as tension rises the muscle darkens relative to its neighbors). Advances from 2 dimensional slice images have now reached the capability for 3 dimensional images with prices under $25,000. thus ultrasound scanning is certain to become more and more utilized to solve the mysteries of spine pain in more and more doctors offices despite insurance company resistance to "seeing is believing practice style" (tm.)) Acceleration of healing up to 50X usual and customary has been recorded on a consistant basis employing the scanner technology to limit the timing of therapy to maximal effectiveness patient by patient (variances from 32 seconds to 12 minutes have been reported, but the scanner technology allows perfect timing for each individual patient day by day).

If you want to choose between webkinz or neopets,webkinz you need to get a webkinz toy(or webkinz animal),neopets you can make an account(like webkinz)but you don't have to buy a neopet toy,also in neopets when you want to buy stuff in the store where you need neocash you have to buy a card and use its code.

Yes, CP can be extremely hard to detect in young children. It is usually picked up due to an infants inability to reciprocate with traditional motor milestones, such as walking and crawling. Some people with cerebral palsy can only suffer from slight muscle irregularities. On the other hand some infants with CP will have severe tonus (constant muscle contraction) at birth

It is a common congenital condition, where the child presents with musculoskeletal and cognitive problems, caused by injury to the immature brain.

What causes CP?

1. prematurity (most common)
2. prenatal intrauterine factors
3. anoxic injuries
4. perinatal infection such as toxoplasmosis,CMV,ToRCH,herpes simplex,rubella
5. brain malformations
6. meningitis
7. brain trauma - NAT

Classification?

Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS)

Type I

Near normal gross motor function, independent ambulator

Type II

Walks independently, but difficulty with uneven surfaces, minimal ability to jump

Type III

Walks with assistive devices

Type IV

Severely limited walking ability, primary mobility is wheelchair

Type V

Nonambulator with global involvment, dependent in all aspects of care

How is CP diagnosed?

• Clinically
  • developmental milestones,
  • cognitive function, and
  • musculoskeletal abnormalities such as
  • spasticity,
  • impaired balance,
  • loss of motor control.

Treatment?

1. physical therapy
2. bracing/orthotics,
3. medications for spasticity

Role of Botulinum Toxin ?

• Blocks spasticity causing receptors, for limited time.
• It helps in maintaining motions of upper limb and lower limbs, specially during rapid growth periods.
• It acts as a time buying strategy for kids.Surgery of these kids to be avoided till the age of 8 yrs.
• often injected into calf muscles.
• It act only when the deformity is not fixed , that is when joints can be moved. It has no role when there are fixed contractures.

SEMLS surgery (Single-Event, Multi-Level Surgery)

• Multiple deformities i.e deformities at hip, knee and ankle are addressed in single sitting.
• This helps for early rehabilitation, and less anaesthetic exposure to it.
• Fascial lengthenings are done so as to cause minimal damage to the muscle.
