Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

11.3K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

8.9K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

9.1K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Occupational therapists provide crucial prosthetic training after a certified prosthetist fits a prosthesis. This training helps individuals integrate their new limb into daily activities through controlled, repetitive, and functional skill-based exercises.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Effective prosthetic use requires specialized training beyond initial fitting.
  • Collaboration between certified prosthetists (CP) and occupational therapists (OT) is ideal for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the essential role of occupational therapists in prosthetic training.
  • To outline the key phases of prosthetic rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Prosthetic training involves a structured, multi-phase approach.
  • Training includes controls training, repetitive drills, and bimanual functional skill development.

Main Results:

  • Prosthetic training enables individuals to effectively use and incorporate prostheses into daily life.
  • A collaborative team approach enhances the rehabilitation process.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational therapist-led prosthetic training is imperative post-fitting.
  • Structured training phases are critical for successful prosthetic integration and functional independence.
