This is the best tutorial on shoulder anatomy I've EVER SEEN! I have periodically had various shoulder issues over the last 20 years, this helps me visualize what might be happening. Thanks.
Very nice video! But as a PT I just need to point out one small error in the animation. As the arm abducts 180 degrees, only about 120 degrees comes from the glenohumeral joint. The remaining 60 degrees comes from medial rotation of the scapula on the ribcage. This may seem pedantic, but it's an important anatomic fact when treating shoulder injuries.
Thank you Gary. Yes it s not pendantic...it is absolutly important for medicine students and pros in all health areas...as an DO i have to know those details to help my patients in a maximum professional way...
I have recurring shoulder pain from bench and dumb bell benching. I'm trying to watch these videos to pick out what part of the shoulder is moving wrong to make my shoulder hurt. It's a complicated issue.... not just the tendons for the shoulder but the ones from the chest. I think it isn't part of my legiments- however my family has a history of weak legiments. I'm not really sure how to distinguish a ligiment issue vrs tension or muscle impengment. Hopefully starting from breaking this down to the fundamental parts helps
@@DrGangaramMBBS - No relation, unfortunately. In PT school we used Moore & Dailey's "Clinically Oriented Anatomy". I still have nightmares from that book! Dissecting the cadavers face was the worst part.😬
Thank you so much for these. Really. I appreciate it so sincerely. I'm a visual learner. I learned more about the shoulder in 6 minutes than I've ever known and will retain it.
This animation tutorial is quite excellent. This helps understand the complex anatomy of the shoulder that most medical students would hate to learn in normal textbooks. Thank you Dr. Sechrest!
This is such an informative video. The graphics are very clear. I like seeing the joints from different angles and the various elements (nerves, tendons, ligaments, etc) in layers to build up even more understanding of the mechanics. thank you!
Very easy to understand and extremely thorough. Thank you. As an ortho tech that just damaged her supraspinatus tendon, I found this especially helpful.
Best video I have ever seen on the shoulder. I've been doing a lot of time consuming research because of my recent shoulder problems, and this video was the most helpful. Thank you for posting this!!
This is a brilliant video with a very clear narration. I have broken my shoulder and wanted a better understanding of the mechanics which I now have. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
This is a WONDERFUL video! The narration was explicit and the animation excellent! The shoulder is very complex and a lot of things can go wrong in how it functions. The video illustrated this superbly. Thank you Dr. Sechrest.
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I used to be an artist when I was younger and we had anatomy classes where the instructor drew the anatomy (and it was for drawing, not for medicine). But I've often wished to have EXACTLY this kind of animation-crystal clear, excellently animated and fantastically illustrated-with explanations of what we're looking at. Just imagine, now, if we could somehow zoom in, and in, and in, until we could knife through the layers and see muscles, with fibres, then blood vessels, then down to individual cells, all separate, on their own layer with their own audio. One day it will be this way-and perhaps it will be able to be projected in 3D right in front of you, a-la Princess Leia. But this is an amazing start-many thanks for this! I think your subscriber base is going to take off one day.
Thank you for the video, I actually find This truly fascinating for a few different reasons. I have broken my left collarbone, shattered the right collarbone, and broke my right shoulder blade before. Videos like this that explain the many different parts and their functions are very interesting. Definitely thank you for the content
I agree with others who wrote praises below. I fell and tore my humerus. It was down 2", completely out of its socket. I have been trying to figure out what my best course of action is - total reverse shoulder replacement surgery, and/or continued physical therapy which, to my amazement, has begun to pull my humerus back into position. It helps a lot to be able to see how the shoulder is made and how it works. Thank you so much Dr. Sechrest, and thanks to the animator(s) who created this excellent video.
Thank you Randale! I just hurt my shoulder, and before I go see the doctor your video -- although it makes me squirm at what could go wrong with such a complex joint -- is tremendously helpful in seeing what I did and what I didn't do.
You have no clue how helpful this is for me. Reading descriptions in a textbook is pointless without a nifty animation associated with it. Especially with such a complicated body part like the shoulder!
Thank you for a clear, concise, well animated presentation of the shoulder. The 3D graphics do an excellent job in bringing the shoulder "to life". I look forward viewing your other videos.
I have many shoulder injuries. I've been a permanent crutches user for the last 25 of my 74 years. This video has been superb in helping me to understand what's going on. Thank you!
Great, clear and comprehensive explanation of the shoulder's anatomy, quick and easy to understand, even for people without any medicine background like me.
Wonderful video. This was, by far, much better than any textbook I have read. Thank you for the great graphics, layering of the systems, and concise explanations.
This really blew my mind, it's crazy how much evolution it took our bodies to reach this stage, it's crazy to think we were once single celled organisms and grew into this very complex creatures, so sturdy yet so fragile. It's quite interesting.
Correct science and religion have been shown to both work concurrently. No one's arguing that fact. Just like no one should argue that there's only one way to heaven; through believing in Jesus....I talk about him wherever possible; it's part of a Christians expected job. Cheers.
I am not "stuck in believing in Jesus"....I've read parts of the Quran and other religious works...and our God...is not a God of Hate, patronization,...killing, sadness...he's a God of love, kindness, expectation and patience. The only "God that fits that bill" (if you will) is the God of Jesus....it's not only easier to believe in Jesus...it's logical
Frank From Upstate NY It does not depend on what you believe in. Evolution is fact. Just because you believe otherwise does not mean it didn't happen. I think you mean creationism vs the big bang. That you can believe whatever you'd like.
I dislocated my shoulder last wednesday, for the second time after 10 years... its bin dislocated for 7 painfull hours, its back now but the biceps us hurting right now, after this tutorial i understand why. And i probably understand how to raise the stability of my shoulder. Thank you so much!!
Simple. Just imagine the little snowflakes at home, watching RU-vid and enjoying internet anonymity, without accountability. Obviously, this video has no explosions and fire, nor does it have a car crash anywhere. It's also longer than their 31 second attention span. This video is very well done, brilliantly animated.
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover anatomy physiology online try Corbandy Simple Physiology Crusher (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
Thank you very much for this brilliant presentation. Great job. I have broken recently by shoulder blade on a bike crash accident and have been looking for an explanation how the shoulder and scapula work in order to understand the reason of the acute pain and the restriction of movement that the fracture has caused on my shoulder and arm. Watching your video made me understand the reason of for the pain and the restriction of movement and the complexity of the shoulder mechanism. I intend to start soon with strengthening and flexibility exercises in order to recover my previous shoulder flexibility and I am positively sure that understanding “how it works” will help me a lot. Nice graphics. Nice and clear explanation Nice presentation all together. Carlos
Great video presentation .. Information was explained well. I could follow along and I'm not the sharpest crayon in the car door... ...wait that's not right..
God has truly designed our bodies so marvelously complex. How could any intelligent person think we were created from nothing and absent a designer? How illogical and very ludicrous!
@@bldlightpainting Why did God design joints that are so fragile and prone to producing much pain? Most engineers could design a better joint and in fact many people are replacing the crappy joints that God designed with less painful and better-functioning man-made joints. Speaking of illogical, who designed God? Using your logic, God could not have been "created from nothing and absent a designer".
"WOW" Where were you when I was in college Anatomy & Physiology... back in 1977 when the pictures were Black and White... lol... Oh my gosh I feel old...
Just started Nursing school!!! Ahhhh help lol thank u sir!!! I study sooo hard BuT I do t get it allllllll of it! Midterm received a C but I do t get any of this Anatomy n Physiology 😥
thank you for this laymen tutorial, now clearly understand what I have injured. I look forward to watching other videos from you when I start my anatomy classes.
Thank-you for this excellent and informative video. I've just had humeral head replacement surgery in Japan following a bicycle accident. I know I have many months of rehab ahead and I hope, within time, that I can get most of my shoulder mobility and strength back again... Thank you again for this great video which helps me better understand my injury 🙏
filmed my back when raising my arms on the sides to overhead position. The shoulder blades move differently and I cannot find a video showing what would be proper movement. Is there such a video ?
Thank you for this video. I’m from the UK. I’m studying at university to become a Physiotherapist. I have watched this video over 10 times now. Really helps with remembering all the parts.
This is a great video. I found it very informative and so easy to understand. I was at the receiving end of a viscous attack. In which I suffered a few shoulder and neck injuries. I will be taking screen shots to show to my orthopedic surgeon exactly where I have the pains. I'm very grateful you made this video. Thank you
Yeah its bcz when muscles become exhausted, they swell, which puts pressure on nerves causing loss of transmission of nerve impulse or in second case all the ATP is used by muscle so fu gets go lack on ATP and stop moving
Fantastic! I've seen models, diagrams, and other animations. Only after seeing this do I really grok how the shoulder works. In particular showing how the skeleton moves is really helpful - I can really see how mobile the scapula is and what the AC joint is for, for example.
Semper Fi freewill you dangus, what kind of loving God forces his creations to obey him. He gave us the choice, and we chose to sin instead of follow God. That's why we degenerate and die, for the wages of sin is death. God gave us a way out though because he loved us, Jesus became the sacrifice to attone for our sins by the spilling of his blood. That gift is free, you can either choose to accept the gift or refuse it
Sean Fuller I’d like you to make up a better explanation rather than a “explosion” that made perfect climate and is a one in an infinite chance to be a habitable planet.
@@phantom-xb6wv The universe wasn't made for us. It's not like a big explosion just HAPPENED to be conducive to our survival, rather, we evolved on a planet which supports life. That could've have been any planet in the universe, earth wasn't special. There are planets favourable for life as well as hostile. There is infinite probability in the universe. So a planet like ours is bound to exist. It doesn't prove that God made it.
Wonderful teaching video, makes it a great starting point when explaining to a patient what might be wrong. Thank You Dr Sechrest for your time and effort!
