Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

6.3K
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...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

1.2K
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...

Muscles of the Shoulder

12.2K
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...

    Summary

    Shoulder pain is a common issue impacting quality of life, affecting 18-31% monthly. Many individuals, especially the elderly, experience persistent pain for up to two years.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Musculoskeletal Disorders
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Shoulder pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder with significant quality of life implications.
    • It is a leading cause of primary care visits and physical therapy referrals.
    • While often self-limiting, chronic pain can persist for years in a substantial patient subset.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the epidemiology and clinical impact of shoulder pain.
    • To highlight the long-term burden of shoulder pain on individuals and healthcare systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of epidemiological data on shoulder pain prevalence.
    • Analysis of its impact on quality of life and healthcare utilization.

    Main Results:

    • Monthly prevalence ranges from 18% to 31%; lifetime prevalence is highly variable (6.7%–66.7%).
    • Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint in primary care.
    • Up to 50% of patients may experience persistent pain or functional issues for two years.

    Conclusions:

    • Shoulder pain represents a significant public health concern due to its high prevalence and potential for chronicity.
    • Effective management strategies are crucial to mitigate long-term functional deficits and improve patient outcomes.
