What is Gowers' sign?
Some health conditions cause those that are influenced by the fact that they show recognizable signs of this condition when moving. Gowers' sign is an example of one of these indicators and is associated with people who have specific muscles problems. Children and adults with these problems show some way to stand from a sitting position that uses the muscle power of the arms and hands, to the feet to pull the rest of the body vertically to replace the weak muscles of the foot.
William Richard Gower was a specialist in the field of neurology. In 1879, he noticed that boys who suffered from a condition called pseudo -cypertrophic muscle paralysis used a specific movement pattern as they stood. Initially, these children faced the ground in a susceptible position and then straightened their legs with their hands on the floor. Then one hand put the weight of the upper half on one knee and added the other hand. I move my hand up the foot then the boy's position to get into the position.
Generally modern medical profession describes GowersoA sign in a slightly different way, based on the way people stand up from a chair. First, the person bends the upper half of his body forward and puts his weight to his knees using his hands. Then the person transmits body weight supported by hands up to the feet until they stand.
A healthy person generally uses different muscles such as those in the feet, back and arms while getting up. When you have weaker muscles in these places than usual, they must be in a different way in a different way than normal. Conditions that affect the strength of the muscles that may arise from the problems with the muscles themselves or the problems of the nerve signal that come to the muscles may result in the Gowers sign. The most common health condition associated with the Gowers sign is Duchenne's muscle dystrophy.
In very young children, Gowers' s sign can be recognizable as the early signs of one of these conditions. Although the ZDRunning children roll over to the floor before they get up, tend to move to alternative ways of getting up within about three years. Children older than this who use this most of the time as a way of position can show signs of muscle conditions.
