Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

5.5K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.4K
The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.3K
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Rotator cuff disease is prevalent but its risk factors are not well understood.
  • This study investigates constitutional and environmental factors contributing to rotator cuff disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and quantify risk factors for rotator cuff disease.
  • To assess the association between comorbidities and rotator cuff disease.

Main Methods:

  • A large case-control study was conducted using The Health Improvement Network database.
  • 5000 patients diagnosed with rotator cuff disease were matched with controls by age, sex, and primary care practice.

Main Results:

  • Significant risk factors included Achilles tendinitis, trigger finger, lateral epicondylitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Oral corticosteroid use, oral antidiabetic use, insulin use, and overweight BMI (25.1-30) were also associated.
  • Smoking, higher BMI (>30), alcohol intake, medial epicondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis were not associated.

Conclusions:

  • Several comorbidities and risk factors for rotator cuff disease were identified.
  • These include lateral epicondylitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, Achilles tendinitis, oral corticosteroid use, and diabetes mellitus.
  • Findings highlight the importance of recognizing comorbid conditions and guiding etiological research.
