Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

5.0K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Specific exercises significantly reduced the need for surgery in subacromial pain patients at 5 years. Patients not improving with exercises may still benefit from surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Subacromial pain is a common cause of shoulder dysfunction.
  • Previous research indicated specific exercises reduced surgery need at 1 year.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the 5-year maintenance of reduced surgery rates after specific exercises for subacromial pain.
  • To compare long-term outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A 5-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial involving 97 subacromial pain patients awaiting surgery.
  • Patients were randomized to specific or non-specific exercise programs.
  • Outcome measures included surgical decision, Constant-Murley score, DASH, VAS, EQ-5D, and EQ-VAS.

Main Results:

  • Significantly more patients in the specific exercise group declined surgery at 5 years (33/47) compared to the non-specific group (16/44).
  • The Constant-Murley score improved between 1 and 5 years in both surgical and non-surgical groups.
  • No other outcome measures showed clinically relevant changes between 1 and 5 years, irrespective of treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Specific exercise programs effectively reduce the need for surgery in subacromial pain patients long-term.
  • Surgery can yield similar good results for patients who do not respond to specific exercises.
  • A specific exercise program can function as a valuable tool for surgical selection.
