Clavicle

in humans, the clavicle and the sternum articulate directly with each other, while in the avian skeleton, they do not. The clavicles in the human skeleton act as struts for the shoulder and allow the arm to move with the maximum range of movement by keeping it away from the thorax. On the other hand, the shoulder girdle in birds do not have clavicles as they pertain to the human skeleton. Instead, the avian shoulder girdle has something called the furcula, which is two clavicles which have been…

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) was first identified by Sir Ashley Cooper in 1921 and was further evaluated by Rob and Standeven in 1958 (McKenzie). Thoracic outlet syndrome is a nonspecific diagnosis that refers to an array of conditions caused by compression of the neurovascular structures that pass through the thoracic outlet (Nichols). These conditions can be named based on their location of compression or the cause of symptoms (McKenzie). Factors that predispose patients to the development…

and move the humerus. First, the pectoralis major originates on the medial half of the clavicle, one side of the sternum, on the costal cartilage (1-7) and the aponeurosis of the external oblique. It inserts on lateral lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus. The pectorals major flexes, medially rotates and adducts the humerus. Second, the deltoid originates from the lateral half part of the clavicle (anterior fibers), the acromion of the scapula (lateral fibers) and the spine of the…

high yield, at the low cost [1]. There are some challenges in processing Chest X-ray images. For example, in lung segmentation, the strong edges at the rib cage and clavicle region cause local minima for most minimization approaches. Segmenting the lung apex is also a nontrivial problem because of the changing intensity at the clavicle bone [11]. Examples of normal Chest X-ray and abnormal Chest X-ray i.e., with and without Tuberculosis infection are shown in Figure.1 and Figure.2 respectively.…

Surgery for Acromioclavicular Separation Acromioclavicular separation is an injury to the small joint at the top of the shoulder (acromioclavicular joint or AC joint). The AC joint connects the outer tip of the collarbone (clavicle) to the top of the shoulder blade (acromion). Two strong cords of tissue (acromioclavicular ligament and coracoclavicular ligament) stretch across the AC joint to keep it in place. An AC joint separation happens when one or both ligaments stretch or tear, causing the…

In order to determine the degree of functional disability, it is largely based on the amputation levels exhibited that will affect the impact on quality of life and the ability to carry out tasks of daily living (Jain, 2008). According to (Radomski & Trombly, 2014), amputation levels on the upper extremity are as below: a. Partial hand Partial hand amputation may vary from loss of one or more digits to a loss of complete fingers or a loss of part of the palm and associated fingers (Blair,…

motion for positioning the upper extremity in space. The shoulder girdle also provides power and support for the upper extremity throughout and at the extremes of the range of motion. (19) The shoulder girdle includes three bones (scapula, clavicle, and proximal humerus), three joints (glenohumeral, acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular), an additional articulation (scapulothoracic) and some 17 musculotendinous units. These individual elements function in a synchronous and…

To begin, I have learned everybody fits into the three categories of body types, and some people may fit into all three categories. The categories consist of the ectomorph body type, the mesomorph body type, and finally the endomorph body type. However, I have also learned that regardless of my body type nutrition and a proper nutritional diet is essential to keeping my body healthy and functioning well. My planning a healthy food diet and eating a healthy diet as part of my life style I will…

DOI: 6/9/2014. The patient is a 51-year-old left-hand dominant female data entry clerk who sustained a work-related injury when she slipped and fell in the parking lot. Per OMNI, she was initially diagnosed with right knee internal derangement, right shoulder rotator cuff tear, right ulnar nerve neuropathy, asymptomatic and cervical spine degenerative multilevel spondylosis. Per the PT daily treatment note dated 06/17/14, the patient has attended 6 visits for the right shoulder. Per the panel…
