arms and shoulders because of their involvement with movement. One of the primal movers of arm abduction along the frontal plane is the deltoid muscle found in both minks and humans. In both species, deltoid muscles allow for the abduction of the humerus. The next two muscles are the biceps brachii and its opposing muscle the triceps brachii. The biceps brachii consists of two heads, which arise from the scapula and join to form a single muscle that ends upon the upper forearm. The most important
Movement Skills: Tennis Serve 1a. The tennis serve is broken up into eight specific phases, these include : the starting stance/ preparation, ball toss and backswing, the knee bend, trophy position, racquet drop, leg push, swing and pronate and finally the follow through. o Starting Stance /Preparation This is the physiological stage for tennis players. It is where the athlete determines location and type of serve and takes into consideration the positioning of the opponent and former knowledge of
Narrabeen Man Information Report In January 2005, contractors were excavating blocks of pavement to place electricity cables right at the corner of Ocean Street and Octavia Street, Narrabeen, NSW. The project was suspended due to an unanticipated discovery of a human skeleton buried underground, right beside a public bus shelter. The bones were in good state although some parts were missing. Fragments of primitive artefacts were also found around and inside the skeleton. The skeleton had a hideous
A baseball pitcher throws a baseball across the plate and the batter hits it to center field, and elderly man pitches horseshoes, a young person spikes a volleyball, student practices driving a golf ball while a college athlete practices punting a football. Once more, as is the case with pushing and pulling, a widely diverse set of activities has a common denominator. Each of these activities involves sequential movement of the body segments resulting in the production of a summated velocity at the
procedure"). Thirty years after Jobe invented this surgery, baseball players are still using it. The elbow is a hinge joint, moving in only one dimension (flex or extend), making it relatively simple from an architectural and functional standpoint. The humerus bone in the upper arm connects to the two bones of the forearm by means of various connective tissues. For a pitcher, one of the most important of these connections is the unlar collaterial ligament (UCL). The UCL offers much of the stability that
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that form a cuff over the humerus to the scapula. This group of muscle includes teres minor, infraspinatus, supraspinatus, and subscapularis. These muscles provide stability to the shoulder and allow the shoulder to rotate and function properly during shoulder movement. The tendons and muscle can be damage by overuse, injury, or gradual aging. This damage may cause significant pain, fluid accumulation within the joint due to inflammation, arthritis

When this movement is viewed from the top the forearms can be seen rotating about the long axis of the humerus bone which cannot be seen when viewed from the sagittal plane and frontal plane. Thus, the movement in this exercise occurs in transverse plane. 3. Pec-Deck Pectoral Fly: This exercise works pectoralis major muscle. This exercise involves pulling

Most people don’t think of baseball as a high risk injury sport. Unlike football, hockey or boxing, baseball seems tame in comparison. While it’s true that baseball is not a high contact sport, a variety of injuries can occur to the players in virtually every part of the players body but most notably in the shoulder; some of these injuries can be career ending. One of the most common injuries is due to overuse of the shoulder because of the repetitive motion required in pitching. Major shoulder
Ugh. I had almost finished my grocery shopping when I remembered. At least I was still in the store. Pushing my cart all the way to the back of the store again, I spotted the forgotten item. Well, actually, it was a case of forgotten items; 24 single serving bottles of water. No big deal. Right? Wrong. It wouldn’t have been a big deal. But for a couple of weeks, I had been dealing with an aggravating ache in my upper right arm. The P.E. teacher at my school had diagnosed my pain as, most
Introduction After rotator cuff surgery, an exercise rehabilitation program will aid in your recovery, help you return to daily activities, and eventually will lead to your return to recreational activities and sports. This is a general rehabilitation program meant to be undertaken 4-6 weeks post-operation. Consult with your doctor or physical therapist to ensure you are ready for this program that provides a collection of stretches and exercises. However, not all exercises are recommended for
Deltoid Disruption A deltoid disruption is a shoulder injury. The deltoid is a muscle in the upper arm that is responsible for most of the movement and rotation of the shoulder. A deltoid disruption occurs when the deltoid muscle pulls away from the bone beneath it. The muscle may pull away from the bone completely or partially. This can affect your ability to move your shoulder and arm. CAUSES This condition may be caused by: • Direct impact on or injury to the shoulder. • Injury or overuse

Assignment One: Patient Resource That aching pain you feel in the shoulder could actually be coming from your head or neck. The reason this type of pain can occur is because some muscles originate in your head or neck and continue downward attaching around the shoulder region (Fernández-de-las-peñas et al, 2010). Many people that experience this type of pain will limit or cease certain movements to prevent further pain. Tasks as simple as backing out of your driveway, combing your hair or brushing
Investigating the Relationship Between Humerus Length and Height of Human Beings In order to investigate the relationship between humerus length and height of human beings, I collected the data of each person’s height and their humerus length (including me) in my class and created 2 scatter plots to study the relation between the 2 variables. Process of getting data Firstly, one of my tallest person in my class measured 5-6 people’s height with a ruler, then someone exchanged his position
Scapulothoracic Dysfunction is a breakdown of the mechanical operation of the structures that create normal functional movements of the neck and shoulders. Which can be caused by numerous disorders such as Snapping scapula syndrome,(scapulothoracic crepitus), scapular winging, Scapulothoracic disassociation anatomic postures, and extreme physical activities. Often this mechanical breakdown results in pain in the neck shoulders, arms, and hands and can be accompanied by numbness and tingling this
Montresor carries out his revenge on Fortunato by chaining him and then building a brick wall around him. The setting in “The Cask of Amontillado” affects the reader’s assumptions, mood, and senses during the story, enhancing the eerie, yet somehow humerus, tone.

the shoulder. It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula and inserts in the medial surface of the mid-humerus shaft. The teres major and subscapularis muscles assist with other muscles to flex the shoulder. The teres major originates on the inferior angle and lower one-third of lateral border of the scapula while it inserts at the crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus. The subcapularis originates at the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts at the lesser tubercle of the
is a group of muscles and tendons in the shoulder that connects the upper arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula). The rotator cuff tendons provide stability to the shoulder while the muscles allow the shoulder to rotate. The muscles in rotator cuff are Teres minor, Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, and Subscapularis. The muscles in the rotator cuff inserts at the scapula and has a tendon that attaches to the humerus. The rotator cuff is often a subject to athletic injuries. These injuries include:
Summary: Dan is a 40-year-old man who used to play tennis over 20 years ago. One day he decided to pick up his racket and join his friend Kevin for a match. Dan went all out and played an intense match. A week later Dan experience right shoulder pain but still decided to help Kevin move some heavy furniture out of his house. A few days later Dan’s right shoulder got worse and he went to see an orthopedic specialist. The specialist told him that he probably overstretched a ligament or muscle during
