Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

3.3K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Muscles of the Shoulder

7.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Ergonomics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Work-associated upper limb and neck disorders are prevalent globally, particularly among individuals with prolonged sedentary activity (SA).
  • The risks associated with sedentary work, including cervical and upper body pain, are significant for office workers.
  • Existing research on SA often overlooks specific factors like muscle and tendon contractions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review risk factors associated with work-associated upper limb and neck disorders.
  • To evaluate the relationship between sedentary activity (SA) and upper body disorders (shoulder, neck, head) in office workers.
  • To identify the need for systematic data collection and analysis of SA's impact on the upper body.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of articles published between January 2010 and August 2021 was conducted.
  • Searches were performed on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using keywords: "sedentary," "upper body elements," and "work" (and derivatives).
  • Forty articles met the inclusion criteria, with 32 examining the association between SA and upper body elements in office/computer work.

Main Results:

  • A significant association exists between sedentary activity and upper body disorders in office workers.
  • The majority of reviewed studies focused on general associations, with fewer examining specific work environments like sit-stand workstations.
  • The review identified a lack of focus on specific physiological aspects such as muscle and tendon contractions in relation to SA.

Conclusions:

  • There is a clear link between sedentary work and upper body issues, necessitating further investigation into specific risk factors.
  • An institutionalized system is needed for collecting, analyzing, and describing the short-term effects of SA on the upper body.
  • Recommendations for minimizing risks in sedentary work environments are suggested.
