Another technological advancement is the
use of ultrasound.
Ultrasound
·
Ultrasound uses sound waves to
identify arteries in the body.2 Coincidentally, SCI has been
associated with a decrease of arterial diameter in proportion with a decrease
in muscle mass.2
·
In people with SCI there is a
change that can be detected with ultrasound. The posterior tibial artery,
near the ankle, shows a linear reduction in vasodilation.3
·
However, electrical stimulation
can reverse this effect in paralyzed individuals. The equipment of an
ultrasound ranges from $40,000-$100,000 depending on the use and the extra
add-ons for the machine.
·
Being able to reverse this
effect may lead to better treatment or a cure for paraplegia.
Conclusion
Advancements
in noninvasive treatments such as MRI or Ultrasound have allowed kinesiology
professionals to collect more information on muscle and arterial function in
paralyzed individuals. Sophisticated improvements in technology continue to
enhance the capabilities of treatment modalities in unprecedented ways. To
summarize, technology in kinesiology is a double-edged sword. It provides
great promise in what can be obtained but comes at a great cost in terms of
time, money, and maintenance.

Introduction
To explain the advancements of
kinesiology, we may need to “re-define” what kinesiology means and is.
Kinesiology is an academic discipline that studies physical activity and its
impact on health, society, and quality of life. Therefore, the purpose of
this blog is to inform readers about the advancements in the kinesiology
profession.
“Our greatest weakness lies in
giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more
time.”—Thomas Abla Edison.
Vision Statement
I believe I am put on this earth to
achieve great things. I believe in inspiring people to be the best they can
be. I will engage in suitable practices and anticipate the need of my
clients. To succeed you need to be willing to put in the time and effort. I
value hard work, dedication, education, and respect. I want to help people
enjoy the gift of life while having a people-oriented experience.
With me being the person I’ve grown to be I cannot
give less than one hundred percent with each one of my clients. I thoroughly
believe that if you give one hundred percent of your honest effort to each
client than that will impact and spark a change that is everlasting.

With the recent surge of technological advancements in
recent history, it is no surprise that technology has made its mark on the
kinesiology research. These advancements have greatly impacted our ability to
noninvasively quantify muscle activity.
Magnetic Resonance
Imaging
A noninvasive
technique called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Originally introduced in
1978, this technology was scarce and was only used to measure muscle
metabolism. With the proliferation and advancement of MR units, nearly all
kinesiology departments have access to or could arrange access to this
technology.
Using an MR unit,
kinesiology professionals have discovered how much a muscle declines after
sustaining an SCI which is roughly around 40% after one year.1 In
addition, electrical stimulation of the paralyzed muscle can reduce that
deficit, shown by the MRI.1 This knowledge gathered from the use
of the MRI can allow professionals to better treat individuals with SCI.

I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
