Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum01:26

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum

968
The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion

177
Percussion is a fundamental technique used to assess the liver, spleen, and abdominal organs by tapping the abdomen and interpreting the resulting sounds. This method helps identify fluid, distention, and masses through variations in sound, such as the high-pitched tympany of air-filled areas and the dullness of solid masses. Understanding how to percuss these organs provides valuable information for healthcare professionals in diagnosing conditions early.

Percussion is an essential...

Chest Physiotherapy01:24

Chest Physiotherapy

370
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a therapeutic technique used in respiratory care to improve ventilation, clear bronchial secretions, and enhance the efficiency of respiratory muscles. This therapy includes three primary procedures: postural drainage, percussion, and vibration. It can be performed on spontaneously breathing patients and those who are intubated and mechanically ventilated.
Purpose
CPT is primarily used for patients with excessive bronchial secretions who have difficulty clearing...

Assessment of the Abdomen I: Inspection and Auscultation

252
Introduction
The abdominal examination is a cornerstone of clinical medicine, serving as a critical tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. It involves a systematic approach that includes inspection and auscultation, each with distinct yet complementary roles in assessing the abdomen. This article will delve into these two primary methods healthcare professionals use to examine the abdomen.
Inspection of the Abdomen
The first step in any abdominal examination is inspection....

Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

1.0K
The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

860
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Core muscle injury (CMI), previously known as sports hernia or athletic pubalgia, involves abnormalities of the hip, abdomen, and pubis.
  • Information on image-guided procedures for CMI and pubic symphysis disorders is limited compared to other joints.
  • The pubic symphysis presents anatomical challenges due to its small size and proximity to critical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review diagnostic and therapeutic image-guided interventions for core muscle injury and pubic symphysis disorders.
  • To highlight the feasibility and utility of these procedures for radiologists.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnostic symphyseography for detecting symphyseal cleft injuries.
  • Ultrasound-guided percutaneous dry needling (tenotomy) for promoting tendon healing.
  • Image-guided joint aspiration, biopsy, and osteoplasty for various pubic symphysis conditions.

Main Results:

  • Symphyseography aids in diagnosing symphyseal cleft injuries and, with anesthetic/steroid injection, serves as a conservative therapy for CMI.
  • US-guided dry needling targets specific tendons to stimulate healing.
  • Image-guided aspiration, biopsy, and osteoplasty offer diagnostic and palliative treatment options for pubic symphysis pathologies.

Conclusions:

  • Radiologists can successfully perform various image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for core muscle injury and pubic symphysis disorders.
  • These minimally invasive techniques provide valuable options for managing athletic pubalgia and related conditions.
