This lecture on elbow anatomy and biomechanics provides an in-depth look at the structural components and functional dynamics of the elbow joint. It begins with an overview of the three bones that form the elbow: the humerus, radius, and ulna, and the way they articulate to allow flexion, extension, pronation, and supination. The lecture also covers key ligaments, such as the ulnar collateral ligament and radial collateral ligament, which provide stability, as well as the surrounding muscles and tendons that facilitate movement. Additionally, the biomechanics section explains how these structures work together to distribute forces during various activities, highlighting the importance of balance between mobility and stability. Understanding these concepts is crucial for diagnosing and treating elbow injuries effectively.
In this course you will learn:
- Top of Form
- Bottom of Form
How to use your in-depth knowledge of the elbow joint anatomy and biomechanics to guide your assessment and treatment choices and how important a thorough knowledge of anatomy is. This is a thorough recap of previously known anatomy described in a bit more detail and with clinical relevance in mind. In this lecture, you will learn about the intricate structure of the elbow joint, including the bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that enable its range of motion. The lecture will explain how these components work together to allow movements like flexion, extension, and rotation, as well as how they maintain joint stability. You’ll also explore the biomechanical principles governing force distribution across the elbow during various activities. This knowledge is essential for understanding the causes of elbow injuries and for developing effective treatment and rehabilitation strategies.
