| The main upper-back muscles are the trapezius, rhomboids and levator scapulae. |
|
| Fleshy bundles may pass from the front and upper part of the planum of the ethmoid bone across the orbit to the levator. |
|
| This is a back view on left side, showing slips of levator scapulae to serratus anterior and rhomboideus minor. |
|
| As the levator ani passes downward both anteriorly and posteriorly, it forms an arch of muscular tissue, also called a sling. |
|
| The detrusor, levator ani, and external sphincter muscles share the sacral nerves as a common innervation source. |
|
| In the shoulder girdle, the serratus anterior, upper and lower trapezius, levator scapulae and rhomboid muscles are involved. |
|
| The levator veli palatini muscle, which elevates the soft palate, is innervated by a pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve. |
|
| Research by Arat indicates the first two muscles affected by an over-loaded limbic system are the levator scapula and upper trapezius. |
|
| Relaxation techniques and then manual stretching of the rectal sphincter and levator ani can be very helpful in persons with pelvic pain. |
|
| The levator ani is a striated muscle that is in a constant state of contraction. |
|
| Extra levator costae muscles may be associated with these ribs. |
|
| Dorsal and deep to this layer, a levator muscle runs from the sheathing fascia to the pharyngobranchial, and it can elevate the gill arch. |
|
| With the upper trapezius, the levator scapula lifts your shoulder blades. |
|
| An injury to the nerve which stimulates the levator muscle can also cause ptosis. |
|
| In most cases this point of maximum contracture is found in the levator scapulae or superior trapezius. |
|
| Weights of central prostate, testes and levator ani muscles also were lower in the treated group as compared with controls. |
|
| The success of the operation depends upon the cause of the ptosis, severity of the ptosis and the strength of the levator muscle. |
|
| The high daily dose significantly reduced weights of testes, ventral prostate, seminal vesicles and levator ani muscle. |
|
| The upper trapezius and levator scapulae are the muscles most frequently involved in myofascial pain of the neck, head and upper back. |
|
| The same can be done with the pelvic floor muscles, including the obturator, piriformis, and levator ani muscles. |
|
|
|
| A kiss is still... an osculatory apposition of the orbicularis oris and levator labii muscles with posterior involvement of the sternocleidomastoids, commonly in a dexterous orientation. |
|
| Oral administration of danazol to castrated male rats produced minimal stimulation of the ventral prostate and seminal vesicles and a dose-related increase in the weight of the levator ani muscle. |
|
| Pudendal neurectomy produced no levator ani muscle changes. |
|
| Acquired ptosis has many potential causes, but it is usually due to age-related stretching or displacement of the fibres connecting the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to structures within the upper eyelid. |
|
| The connection is by means of muscles only, including the trapezius, rhomboids, and levator scapulae, while the serratus anterior connects the scapula to the rib cage. |
|
| Foot drop can be prevented by electrically induced tetanic contraction of the levator muscles of the foot, synchronized with the phase of the gait during which the foot concerned is lifted from the ground. |
|
| There is more overlap and fusion between the various parts of the levator ani in modern humans than in apes, and the muscular sling that comprises the puborectalis in humans is more-substantial than in apes. |
|
| They share the same embryological beginnings, pelvic location, aspects of innervation and passage through the levator ani. |
|
| The levator muscles should never be plicated, unless an obliterative procedure is being per-formed, because of the impact on sexual function. |
|
| The levator ani muscle, for example disappear during development of female rats, but can be maintained with testosterone administration. |
|
| Ontogeny of androgen receptor immunoreactivity in lumbar motoneurons and in the sexually dimorphic levator ani muscle of male rats. |
|
| Physical therapy directed at strength ening the levator ani complex of muscles have demonstrated some therapeutic efficacy. |
|
| It is comprised of the levator ani muscles and the coccygeus muscles, as well as the surrounding fascia. |
|
| The muscles they assessed were levator scapulae, supraspinatus and infraspinatus, subscapularis, pectoralis major and biceps brachii. |
|
| It also innervates the levator palpebrae superioris and carries with it the parasympathetic innervations to the pupil. |
|
| Avoid injection near the levator palpebrae superioris, particularly in patients with larger brow depressor complexes. |
|
| Palpate the levator ani and coccygeus muscles and their attachments. |
|
| To describe a previously unreported type of ptosis associated with abnormal synkinesis between the superior rectus muscle and the levator palpebrae superioris. |
|
| The mesh is attached to the levator ani muscles and uterosacral ligaments. |
|
| To the front the lateral surface of the bladder must be identified inwards and outwards, together with the internal obturator muscle, the arcus tendineus of the ani levator muscle and the ilio-coccygial muscle. |
