Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

2.1K
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

4.1K
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...

Muscle Coordination and Action01:24

Muscle Coordination and Action

1.7K
Muscle coordination is a complex and finely tuned process essential for smooth and purposeful movements like flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and rotation. The human body orchestrates the actions of various muscles working in concert, each with a specific role. Four functional types describe how muscles work together: agonist, antagonist, synergist, and fixator.
Agonists
Agonist muscles, often called prime movers, are the primary muscles responsible for producing a specific movement....

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a primary cause of shoulder pain, often resulting from overuse or metabolic issues.
  • It leads to pain, altered tendon structure, and functional limitations, significantly impacting quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the efficacy of exercise-based interventions for reducing shoulder pain and improving function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of randomized controlled trials sourced from major scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, etc.).
  • Methodological quality assessed using the PEDro scale.
  • Pain and function measured via goniometry, visual analogue scales, Constant Murley score, DASH, and SPADI.

Main Results:

  • Various exercise approaches, including eccentric, conventional, and strengthening exercises (rotator cuff, scapular, pectoralis major), demonstrated effectiveness.
  • High-load and low-load training protocols were also found to be beneficial for patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Therapeutic exercise is recommended for managing rotator cuff tendinopathy.
  • Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are warranted.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework should be more widely adopted in research.
