 Arm Details, Meaning Arm Article and Explanation Guide
With regard to anatomical landmarks, the superficial palmar arterial arch is situated in the line of the abducted thumb, while the deep arch is an inch nearer the wrist.
The ball and socket shoulder joint allows for movement of the arms in a wide circular plane, while the presence of two forearm bones which can rotate around eachother allows for additional range of motion at this level.
The term "shoulder" often is used specifically to refer to the principle one of these, the glenohumeral joint, consisting of the proximal ball of the humerus and the associated ("glenoid") socket of the scapula.

 The globe system: An unambiguous description of shoulder positions in daily life movements
Positions of the shoulder joint are commonly described in terms of degrees of humeral elevation in the principal planes.
In clinical practice, the assessment of shoulder range of motion is interpreted with the observation of the angular changes between humerus and trunk, along with the inspection and palpation of the scapula position and movement [19-20].
The shoulder position is described for several functional and standardized tasks for the upper limb with three angles: (1) the angle of the plane of elevation, (2) the angle of elevation within the plane of elevation, and (3) the angle of axial rotation.

If two lamps at two different locations in space are flashed in close succession, the viewer obtains an impression of motion between them.
The frequency response between the point in space where a sound source is located, and the ear, due to anatomical features of the head, upper torso and pinnae.
This term usually refers to the repetition rate of a periodic waveform and is expressed in Hz (cycles per second) or kHz (thousands of cycles per second).

 Science Timeline
In 1753, Euler, in Theoria motus lunae, attempted to solve by analytic function the motions of three interacting bodies, and, though that is not possible by those means, he succeeded in reducing "the relative movements of the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon to a series of elegant equations" (Sobel 1995:970).
In 1747, Maupertius showed that the impact of a collision between two objects can be analyzed by the 'principle of least action,' in which the path of the motion will follow that which minimizes the action.
In 1753, Carl Linné, better known as Carolus Linneas, published Species plantarum, in which he distinguished plants in terms of genera and species.

 Tennessee legislates who can perform spinal manipulation
Spinal manipulation and spinal adjustment were identified as interchangeable terms to identify the "skillful and beneficial treatment" that "uses direct thrust to move a joint of the patient's spine beyond its normal range of motion, but without exceeding the limits of anatomical integrity."
Besides stipulating 1,200 hours of training in spinal manipulation, the TCA decided to add that the practitioner had to be trained in differential diagnosis.
The TCA was able to educate the legislators on the difference between joint mobilization, as practiced by PTs, and spinal manipulation, as practice by DCs.
