Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

14.8K
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...

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

6.4K
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 Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

6.4K
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.4K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

11.8K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

11.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal Health
  • Performing Arts Medicine

Background:

  • Upper string players are susceptible to playing-related musculoskeletal disorders.
  • Understanding common patterns is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify a typical musculoskeletal pattern in upper string musicians.
  • To inform the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a questionnaire and physical examinations.
  • Analyzed data to determine statistically significant patterns of musculoskeletal issues.

Main Results:

  • Identified prevalent issues in the neck and shoulders (bilateral).
  • Found significant problems in the right elbow and the left hand/fingers.
  • Statistical analysis confirmed specific areas of concern (p<0.05 for elbow/hand, p<0.01 for left fingers).

Conclusions:

  • A distinct musculoskeletal pattern exists in upper string musicians.
  • Findings support tailored preventive measures and therapeutic treatments for this population.
