Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

2.4K
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Veins of Upper Limbs

4.2K
The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

7.2K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

4.5K
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...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

4.8K
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...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Proprioception, or the sense of limb position, is compromised in women with lymphedema. This deficit correlates with lymphedema duration but not arm size.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Clinical Biomechanics

Background:

  • Lymphedema is a chronic condition characterized by fluid accumulation and swelling, often leading to functional impairments.
  • Proprioception, the sense of self-movement and body position, is crucial for motor control and limb function.
  • Alterations in proprioception may contribute to the functional deficits experienced by individuals with lymphedema.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and quantify proprioception deficits in the upper limbs of women with secondary lymphedema.
  • To determine if the duration or size (stage) of lymphedema correlates with the degree of proprioception impairment.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 50 women with secondary upper limb lymphedema and 50 healthy controls participated.
  • Subjects were blindfolded, and their forearm position sense was assessed using an electronic goniometer measuring passive movements.
  • The difference in perceived arm position between the lymphedema-affected and unaffected limbs was recorded in degrees.

Main Results:

  • Women with lymphedema demonstrated significantly compromised proprioception compared to the control group.
  • A positive correlation was found between the duration of lymphedema and the degree of proprioception deficit.
  • No significant correlation was observed between the size (stage) of the lymphedematous arm and proprioception impairment.

Conclusions:

  • Secondary upper limb lymphedema is associated with impaired proprioception.
  • The duration of lymphedema is a contributing factor to proprioception deficits.
  • These findings highlight the importance of addressing sensory-motor deficits in lymphedema rehabilitation.
