  • Distal Biceps Brachii: A Case Study

    1023 Words  | 5 Pages

    1. Distal Biceps Brachii a. The biceps brachii has two heads; the long and the short head.

    1. What is the mechanism of injury for a sternoclavicular sprain? In the majority of sternoclavicular sprains, what is the direction of clavicle displacement? The majority of injuries result from compression related to a direct blow, as when a supine individual is landed on by another participant, or more commonly, by indirect forces transmitted from a blow to the shoulder or a fall on an outstretched arm.

  • Third Injury: Why Frozen Shoulder

    486 Words  | 2 Pages

    A third injury is called frozen shoulder this is also known as adhesive capsulitis. Frozen shoulder is in the area that is called the shoulder capsule, strong connective tissue that surrounds the joint. The shoulder capsule becomes tight in the shoulder and stiffens the bands of the tissue. There may be less synovial fluid in the joint. This condition limits your range of motion and can scar tissue overtime as it develops. There's not enough space to actually rotate your joint properly and this frozen

  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Lab Report

    1330 Words  | 6 Pages

    Shoulder Impingement Syndrome With Rehab Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when certain cords of tissue (tendons) under the bone (acromion) at the top of the shoulder blade become pinched. These tendons are part of the group of muscles and tissues that help to stabilize the shoulder (rotator cuff). Beneath the rotator cuff is a fluid-filled sac (bursa) that allows the muscles and tendons to glide smoothly. This sac may become swollen or irritated (bursitis). Bursitis, swelling in the rotator

    Snapping Scapula Snapping scapula is a condition in which the shoulder blade (scapula) rubs against the ribs and causes a “snapping” sound or feeling. This can cause pain and affect shoulder function. In some cases, snapping scapula is painless. This condition usually goes away with proper treatment. This condition may cause fluid-filled sacs that is marked by persistent “snapping” of the shoulder blade (scapula). You may feel a snapping sensation or hear a snapping sound. You may feel shoulder

  • Trapezius Palsy Research Paper

    1012 Words  | 5 Pages

    The trapezius is a large muscle in the upper back that helps to control the shoulder blade (scapula) and stabilize the spine. Trapezius palsy happens when a nerve (spinal accessory nerve) that connects the spinal cord to the trapezius muscle becomes damaged. This causes pain and weakness in the back of the shoulder and the upper back. This also limits the range of motion of the shoulder joint. Damage to the spinal accessory nerve usually happens because of an injury to the back or shoulder. Trapezius
