Muscles that Move the Arm

2024
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles. The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Children who have complex communication needs can benefit from the use of a speech-generating device (SGD). Cognitive skills were identified as having an impact on the ability to navigate between levels of SGDs. This protocol describes the steps needed for Speech-language Pathologists to assess cognitive skills and navigational abilities.

FAQs
Image registration aligns the intraoperative imaging dataset with the patient’s actual anatomy. Once this relationship is established, computer-assisted tracking can associate the positions of surgical instruments with corresponding locations in the registered images. This lets clinicians view instrument position relative to anatomical structures during the procedure, supporting more controlled planning and execution.
The system can acquire either fluoroscopic two-dimensional images or cone-beam computed tomography images in three dimensions. These options provide different views of the operative anatomy, allowing clinicians to use the available imaging format for planning, guidance, and assessment. Three-dimensional datasets can also support spatial understanding of anatomy, implant placement, and alignment during surgery.
Real-time tracking links instrument position to the registered imaging dataset as the procedure proceeds. This gives clinicians ongoing visual information about where instruments are located in relation to the patient’s anatomy, rather than relying only on manually obtained images at separate points. The result can be more accurate operative guidance and better control of placement and alignment.
A typical workflow begins with acquiring intraoperative fluoroscopic or cone-beam computed tomography images. The imaging dataset is then registered to the patient’s anatomy, and surgical instruments are connected to the computer-assisted tracking system. Clinicians use the linked images for planning and guidance, then can acquire additional imaging to verify the operative result and alignment.
O-arm Navigation supports several procedure categories, including spinal, cranial, orthopedic, and trauma surgery. Its value in these settings comes from combining intraoperative visualization with tracked instruments, which can assist with anatomical orientation, implant placement, and alignment. The system is therefore relevant when clinicians need image-based guidance during technically demanding procedures.
Intraoperative imaging allows clinicians to assess anatomy and operative results during the procedure rather than waiting for a separate evaluation. When combined with tracked instruments, the system supports guidance for implant placement and alignment, while additional imaging can provide immediate verification. This feedback may help clinicians identify whether the intended result has been achieved before completing surgery.
