Muscles of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.4K
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...

The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the...

Procedural Guide for Assessing Axillary Body Temperature using a Digital Thermometer:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Adolescent Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Adolescent shoulder injuries differ from adult pathologies, often involving the physis or apophysis.
  • Conditions like hyperlaxity-related instability are common in young athletes.
  • A systematic approach is crucial for efficient and reproducible shoulder examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a systematic approach to the adolescent shoulder examination.
  • To highlight key differences between adolescent and adult shoulder pathologies.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing specific adolescent conditions for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A structured examination progression: inspection, palpation, strength testing, range of motion, and special tests.
  • Prioritizing physeal tenderness and pain with rotation in adolescent evaluations.
  • Utilizing specific tests like apprehension, relocation, and load and shift for instability assessment.

Main Results:

  • A systematic exam enhances efficiency and reproducibility in assessing adolescent shoulder dysfunction.
  • Identifying adolescent-specific injuries (physeal stress, apophysitis, hyperlaxity) is key to differentiating from adult conditions.
  • Understanding kinetic chain and scapular function is essential for comprehensive evaluation, especially in throwing athletes.

Conclusions:

  • A thorough, systematic shoulder examination is critical for diagnosing adolescent athletes.
  • Recognizing adolescent-specific pathologies ensures accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment.
  • Evaluating the entire kinetic chain and scapular stability is vital for preventing recurrent shoulder pain in young athletes.
