Scapula

The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the shoulder. The four muscles of the rotator cuff are over half of the seven scapulohumeral muscles. The four muscles are the supraspinatus muscle, the infraspinatus muscle, teres minor muscle, and the subscapularis muscle. The…

cuff muscles. 8. When measuring total Range of Motion (ROM) for the glenohumeral joint, it is necessary to stabilize the scapula because the scapula stabilizes the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body; therefore, the shoulder joint is the most susceptible to injury. The scapula and shoulder join are synergists; therefore, the stability of the scapula accompanies movement of the shoulder joint. Imbalances or weakness regarding scapular stabilization can result…

the lower leg. The muscle that connects to the tibias origin is the hamstring, which helps with flexibility and strength in the legs. Another muscle would be the clavicle which is in the insertion of the trapezius muscle and it is responsible for scapula elevation. The Humorous is a long bone located in the arm to which the brachialis muscle connects and helps the flexion of the elbow. The radius is the insertion of the brachioradialis muscle which helps with the pronation…

TMDS and Whole Body Balance In the literature we often see studies that correlated TMD’s and cervical –neck problems or relationships. There are very little studies that show whole body balance has a significant effect on TMJ. The issue of relationship between TMDS and body posture, and biomechanics are still an unsearched area. Many researchers agree that adaptive changes occur at all levels of the body. And jet, there are scarce studies out there to show the realistic evaluation and…

possible situation that can lead to a tear is what is known as impingement syndrome (AAOS, 2011). This is where the supraspinatus tendon becomes inflamed and painful, because of the location, between the head of the humerus and the acromion of the scapula which is compressed during abduction and adduction of the shoulder. If the impingement syndrome is not treated, usually by rest and strengthening exercises as well as massage, and there is a continuation of use, this can cause the tendon(s) to…

The pectoral griddle contains: 2 clavicle bones (known as collarbones that brace the scapula and arms making up the shoulder); and 2 scapula bones (known as the shoulder blades functioning as a stabilizer and provides movement of the shoulder). The attachments of the upper extremity from the pectoral area includes: 2 humerus (these are the largest and longest bones in the upper extremity articulating with the scapula, ulna, and radius); 2 radius (one of the 2 bones that forms the forearm); 2…

The deadlift is one of the best compound movements used to strengthen leg, hip, back, and torso muscles. There are several variations of the deadlift, which are often utilized depending on the goals, needs, and abilities of the individual. This brief review will explore the different variations of the deadlift other than the standard conventional and sumo stance deadlift. The main variations used by powerlifters and regular gym goers are the conventional and sumo stance deadlifts. The main…

positions in baseball. To start off in the position you will have cervical extension to be able to watch what is going on with the pitcher and also people on base at all times. The most important muscles in cervical extension would be trapezius, levator scapula, splenius capitis, splenius cervicis, rectus capitis posterior major, recuts capitis posterior minor,…

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,…
