Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.6K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

13.3K
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...

Overview of the Axial Skeleton01:09

Overview of the Axial Skeleton

13.3K
The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions—the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms the vertical, central axis of the body. It includes all of the bones of the head, neck, chest, and back. It protects the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs. It also serves as the attachment site for muscles that move the head, neck, and back and for muscles that act across the shoulder and hip joints to move their corresponding limbs.
The axial skeleton of the...

Anatomical Movements00:51

Anatomical Movements

17.0K
Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

5.3K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

10.7K
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 guide details a systematic shoulder examination for athletes with traumatic or spontaneous pain. It helps identify injuries, assess severity, and track recovery progress effectively.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedics
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Shoulder pain is common in athletes, impacting performance and requiring accurate diagnosis.
    • Existing examination methods may lack comprehensiveness for diverse athletic shoulder injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a systematic and adaptable examination protocol for athletes experiencing shoulder pain.
    • To guide clinicians in identifying anatomical structures, injury nature, and severity.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed description of a multi-step examination process.
    • Inclusion of subjective and objective assessments, palpation, neurological evaluation, and specific tests.
    • Utilization of Cybex isokinetic dynamometer testing for objective strength measurement.
