Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...
Flail Chest-II01:26

Flail Chest-II

Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Summary

Mobilization elbow braces can effectively treat post-traumatic elbow contractures and preserve range of motion after surgery. These braces utilize soft tissue properties to achieve biological lengthening of collagen fibers.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Elbow contractures are common after injury, limiting function.
  • Traditional treatments like physical therapy and surgery have limitations.
  • Mobilization braces offer a novel approach leveraging soft tissue properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of mobilization elbow braces in treating elbow contractures.
  • To explore indications and treatment protocols for mobilization brace use.
  • To assess brace effectiveness in post-traumatic and post-surgical cases.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 42 patients using mobilization elbow braces.
  • Braces applied for post-traumatic contractures, post-fracture fixation contractures, and post-surgical release.
  • Classification, indications, and treatment protocols were documented.

Main Results:

  • Mobilization braces were employed in various elbow contracture scenarios.
  • The study documented the application of these braces across different patient groups.
  • Specific protocols and indications were detailed for brace utilization.

Conclusions:

  • Mobilization elbow braces show promise in managing elbow contractures.
  • They are particularly useful for contractures unresponsive to physical therapy.
  • Braces aid in maintaining gains achieved after surgical release.
