The Muscular System

This section will focus on three joints in the human body: the shoulder, hip, and knee joint. These are the most complex joints in the body and as such, provide a wide range of movement, and are most commonly injured. All background information on these joints is included in the linked videos below. You will need to accomplish some independent research to investigate common injuries at these joints.

Assignment overview: In this SLP, you will prepare a presentation, consisting of 10-11 slides, in which you provide your audience with information on the following areas:

Slides 1-2: To introduce the anatomy of the shoulder, knee, and hip joints define the following terms:

Prime mover, antagonist

Synergist

Ligament

Tendon

Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation

Origin, Insertion, and action

Ball and socket joint

Hinge joint

Slides 3-8: Label the following:

Shoulder (Slide 3 and 4) Label and describe in the Notes Sections
•Glenoid labrum
•rotator cuff muscles and ligaments
•the major muscles that cross the shoulder to move the humerus: deltoid, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, and trapezius
•In the notes sections: define the prime movers, and synergists and the actions they accomplish at the shoulder joint

Hip (Slide 5 and 6) Label and describe in the Notes Sections
•Flexors of the hip (prime movers and synergists)
•Extensors (prime mover and synergist)
•Abduction (include gluteus maximus and minimus, and tensor fascia latae) and adduction (include adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus)
•Acetabular labrum of the internal capsule

Knee (Slide 7 and 8)
•quadriceps and hamstrings
•the ligaments ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, (LABEL WITH THE FULL NAMES)
•the menisci
•The muscles that cross the knee joint: the quadriceps (label all four) and the hamstrings (label all three)
•Notes section: Provide the movements accomplished by the quadriceps and hamstrings as they act on the lower leg

Slides 9-10: Label the tendons, ligaments, and/or internal joint structures that are commonly damaged and what motions cause that damage at the shoulder, knee, and hip joints.
•Provide examples of therapies used to treat those injuries.

Slide 11: References

Don’t forget—place your descriptive text in the speaker notes of each slide. This is where you should be able to describe the movements, arrangement, and common injuries as outlined in the requirements above. Use sufficient depth and breadth to demonstrate your understanding of the important muscles, structures, and movements accomplished in each joint.
