Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

3.8K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

7.0K
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

4.2K
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...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I01:22

Spinal Nerves: Plexus I

2.5K
Nerve plexuses are networks of interlacing nerves that serve as communication hubs to distribute and organize nerve action across various body regions. The nerve plexuses are organized into the cervical plexus located in the neck region, brachial plexus in the shoulder area, lumbar plexus found in the lower back, sacral plexus situated in the pelvis, and coccygeal plexus located in the coccygeal region.
The Cervical Plexus
The cervical plexus, formed by the anterior rami of the first four...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

4.5K
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...

Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity01:12

Elastin is Responsible for Tissue Elasticity

3.1K
Elastic fiber contains the protein elastin along with lesser amounts of other proteins and glycoproteins. The main property of elastin is that it will return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. Elastic fibers are prominent in elastic tissues found in skin and the elastic ligaments of the vertebral column.
Ligaments and tendons are made of dense regular connective tissue, but in ligaments not all fibers are parallel. Dense regular elastic tissue contains elastin fibers and...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a prevalent condition causing lateral elbow pain.
  • It significantly impacts patients' socioeconomic status and daily activities.
  • The exact causes of tennis elbow remain incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of current diagnostic approaches for tennis elbow.
  • To review established and emerging treatment strategies for tennis elbow.
  • To examine the impact of tennis elbow on an individual's ability to participate in work.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on tennis elbow diagnosis and treatment.
  • Analysis of research on the socioeconomic and occupational consequences of tennis elbow.
  • Synthesis of current clinical guidelines and expert opinions.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis relies on clinical assessment, with imaging playing a supportive role.
  • Treatment options range from conservative measures (rest, physical therapy) to surgical interventions.
  • Work participation is frequently impaired, necessitating tailored management strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective tennis elbow management.
  • A multimodal treatment approach is often required, tailored to individual patient needs.
  • Addressing the impact on work participation is essential for comprehensive patient recovery and return to employment.
