Rounded shoulder posture (RSP), also known as “mom posture”, [1] is a common postural problem in which the resting position of the shoulders leans forward from the body’s ideal alignment. [1] Patients usually feel slouched and hunched, [2] with the situation deteriorating if left untreated. A 1992 study concluded that 73% of workers aged ...
A winged scapula (scapula alata) is a skeletal medical condition in which the shoulder blade protrudes from a person's back in an abnormal position. In rare conditions it has the potential to lead to limited functional activity in the upper extremity to which it is adjacent. It can affect a person's ability to lift, pull, and push weighty ...
Muscular forms. Sprengel's deformity (also known as high scapula, scapular hypoplasia, or congenital high scapula) is a rare congenital skeletal abnormality where a person has one shoulder blade that sits higher on the back than the other. The deformity is due to a failure in early fetal development where the shoulder fails to descend properly ...
The rhomboid muscles (/ ˈrɒmbɔɪd /), often simply called the rhomboids, are rhombus -shaped muscles associated with the scapula. There are two rhomboid muscles on each side of the upper back: [1][2][3] Rhomboid major muscle. Rhomboid minor muscle. The large rhombus-shaped muscle, located under the trapezius muscle, in the upper part of the ...
Serratus punch. The serratus punch is an exercise that works scapular protraction using the serratus anterior muscle and to a lesser extent the pectoralis minor. [1][2] The exercise even performed at maximum voluntary isometric contraction did not increase pain in one study in people with shoulder pain. [3] Because strengthening the serratus ...
The scapula (pl.: scapulae or scapulas[ 1 ]), also known as the shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone). Like their connected bones, the scapulae are paired, with each scapula on either side of the body being roughly a mirror image of the other. The name derives from the Classical ...
Shoulder impingement syndrome. Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle. [1] This can result in pain, weakness, and ...
Shoulder. Capsule of shoulder-joint (distended). Anterior aspect. 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 articulations between the bones of the shoulder make up the shoulder joints.
