Epilepsy   What is Epilepsy? According to the NHS, epilepsy is “a common condition that affects the brain and causes frequent seizures.” “Seizures are bursts of electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affect how it works. They can cause a wide range of symptoms.” Starts at “any age, but normally starts in childhood or over 60”.   Classification •       By type of onset: o   Partial (focal) onset - A specific part of the brain is affected o   Generalized onset - Involves both hemispheres of brain simultaneously o   Unknown onset •       Partial seizures are also broken down into: o   Focal aware seizure (simple partial seizure) - awareness is preserved o   Focal impaired-awareness seizure (complex partial seizure) - awareness is lost     Classification continued •       Generalized seizure includes: Tonic-clonic seizures (Grand Mal) o   Presents with contraction of limbs and convulsions Absence Seizures (Petit Mal) o   More commonly seen in younger people o   Patient may stop activity, may blink or roll up eyes and fail to respond to commands Myoclonic seizures o   Rhythmic jerking but jerking doesn’t happen before the attack Atonic seizures o   Loss of muscle tone Clonic seizures o   Sustained rhythmic jerking Tonic seizures o   Stiffening without rhythmic jerking     Symptoms Symptoms of epilepsy include: uncontrollable jerking and shaking, called a "fit" losing awareness and staring blankly into space becoming stiff strange sensations, such as a "rising" feeling in the tummy, unusual smells or tastes, and a tingling feeling in your arms or legs collapsing ·         There may be no known cause this is called idiopathic.     Causes ·         May be caused “by your genes affecting how your brain works ...... . . . #discoverphysiotherapy #physiostudent #physiorehab #epilepsy #epilepsyawareness #epilepsywarrior #epilepsysucks #epilepsia #epilepsyfighter #epilepsysupport #neurology #neuroscience #neuro #neuropsychology #neurosurgery #epileptic #seizures #seizuressuck #seizurestrong #onset #stiff #uncontrollable #stroke #tumour #brain #brainhealth #healthylife #healthcare #nhsstaff #nhsheroes https://www.instagram.com/p/CGWhV5sHxR0/?igshid=1frz5zxf6qjkk

Connective Tissue’s structure (Summary) Summary ·         The connective tissue consists of three main components: o   Specialised cells (living component) – “bones contain Osteocytes, and osteoblasts” which makes up the bone. Whereas “cartilage contains chondrocytes and chondroblasts” which builds up cartilages. o   Fibres – There are three types of fibres: collagen fibres, reticular fibres and elastic fibres o   Ground substance – it’s “a molecular sieve for substances to travel between blood capillaries and cells” ·         “The ground substance and fibres make up the extracellular matrix.” (non-living component) ·         The components will be explored in greater detail in the next three physiology posts!!

Semimembranosus   Description It’s a long muscle that spans from the medial aspect of the posterior thigh. The semimembranosus forms the posterior compartment (hip extensors) of the thigh with semitendinosus, biceps femoris and gluteus maximus. The semimembranosus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris together form the hamstring muscles. It extends and internally rotates the hip and flexes and internally rotates the knee.   Origin Ischial tuberosity   Insertion Medial condyle of tibia - The condyle near the middle of the body of the tibia. - Medial = Nearer the middle of the body   Nerve supply Tibial division of sciatic nerve (L5 – S2) Blood supply Profunda femoris and gluteal arteries   Action Hip joint: thigh extension and internal(medial) rotation Knee joint: flexion and internal(medial) rotation of the leg Stabilizes pelvis   Reference https://www.kenhub.com/en/library/anatomy/semimembranosus-muscle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semimembranosus_muscle . . . #discoverphysiotherapy #physiostudent #physiorehab #physiotherapists #physiotherapist #anatomy #anatomytips #anatomypractice #anatomygeek #anatomyandphysiology #bone #muscle #education #educational #educationmatters #educationalresources #studentproblems #student #students #studentlife #uni #universityofeastlondon #university #universitystudent #artanatomy #humananatomy #new #monday #mondaymonday #anatomyedits https://www.instagram.com/p/CGPcWn4nUvm/?igshid=9h4kadk2cafz

Popliteus 1.       Supine Hamstring Stretch -          Lie on back with knees bent and feet on the flat on the floor -          Bring one of your legs towards your chest and hold the back of your thigh -          Slowly straighten your leg towards the ceiling until you feel the tension. -          Hold for 30 to 60 seconds and repeat the steps on the opposite leg 2.       Heel Cord Stretch -          Stand with your hands against a wall. -          Place one of your legs behind you -          To apply tension to the back leg slowly move your front (DON’T strain your leg) -          Hold the stretch until you feel the tension. -          Hold this position for 20-30 seconds and repeat on the opposite side. Repeat the stretch as many times as you can throughout your day 3.       Standing Quadriceps Stretch -          Stand on one of your legs and grab the shin of the other leg by bending that leg behind you. -          Pull your shin towards your glutes. Your knee should be pointing to the ground. Don’t compensate by pulling your knee downwards or sideways. -          Hold this position for 20-30 seconds. Then slowly relax your leg back into the relaxed position. -          Repeat on the other leg. -          Repeat the stretch as many times as you can throughout your day.

Popliteus   Description It’s a small muscle that is formed from the popliteal fossa. The popliteus belongs to the deep posterior compartment of the leg with tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus. It helps to initiate flexion from a locked(extended) knee.   Origin Lateral condyle of femur, posterior horn of lateral meniscus of knee joint - Side condyle of the femur, back horn of the side meniscus of the knee joint - Lateral = Body part that is farther from the middle or center of the body - Posterior = Back   Insertion Posterior surface of proximal tibia - Back surface of the beginning of the tibia - Posterior = Back - Proximal = The beginning of a bone   Nerve supply Tibial nerve (L4-S1) which is the branch of the sciatic nerve.
