You might think that you’re pretty familiar with your body, but it turns out that our bodies still have some surprises for us!

Arms and legs are pretty similar, from the amount of bones they have to the way their joints bend, but your legs have one thing your arms don't: kneecaps. Ever wonder why?

There is more than one type of bone in the human body. Anatomists usually consider 5 different types, based on structure and function. Histologically, we can even split them into 2, or more. In this video, you'll meet all the types of...

The leg bones are said to be stronger than concrete. Do you know the names of the bones in your leg? Life processes - Body systems - The human skeleton Learning Points The bones of the leg are the femur, tibia, fibula and kneecap. The...

In this video, we explore the under-appreciated 5th quadricep muscle, articularis genus, by examining its structure, origin, insertion, action, innervation, and overall function.

This video explains the function of the kneecap, also known as the patella, and its role in providing leverage for the quadriceps muscles.

In this video, we explore the screw-home mechanism of the knee joint that occurs near terminal knee extension in both open and closed-chain positions.

KINE 3135 Biomechanics of Bones

In this video, I demonstrate and explain some good exercises that can be used to promote patellar stabilization in the case of conservative care for patellar subluxations.

In this video, we explore the following: [1] differences between patellar subluxation and dislocation [2] grading system for classifying patellar dislocations [3] patellar stabilization exercises (with video demonstrations)

In this video, I explain and demonstrate the test for Clarke’s sign (AKA the patellar grind test), a special test used in the assessment of patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).

In this video, we discuss the following: [1] location of the 4 major quadriceps muscle [2] origins, insertions, innervations, and actions [3] structure of the patellar tendon

In this video, the speaker explores the anatomy of the knee joint and discusses the consequences of hyperextension, or going backwards, which can cause damage to the ligaments, tendons, and bones. He also explains the different grades of...

In this video, I explain the major indications for patellar mobilizations and how to perform them in all four major directions: superior, inferior, medial, and lateral.

Die wichtigsten Knochen der Hüfte, des Oberschenkels, des Unterschenkels und des Fußes.

In diesem Video erklären wir Euch den Aufbau und die Funktion des Oberschenkelknochens.

This first part of The Human Body series examines the structure of our skeleton and the function of our muscles. Viewers learn how our bones provide the rigid support necessary to hold any position, while our joints give us the...
