biomechanical constraints underlying motor primitives derived from the Musculoskeletal Anatomy of the human arm
PLOS ONE, 2016Co-Authors: Valeriya Gritsenko, Russell L Hardesty, Matthew T Boots, Sergiy YakovenkoAbstract:: Neural control of movement can only be realized though the interaction between the mechanical properties of the limb and the environment. Thus, a fundamental question is whether Anatomy has evolved to simplify neural control by shaping these interactions in a beneficial way. This inductive data-driven study analyzed the patterns of muscle actions across multiple joints using the Musculoskeletal model of the human upper limb. This model was used to calculate muscle lengths across the full range of motion of the arm and examined the correlations between these values between all pairs of muscles. Musculoskeletal coupling was quantified using hierarchical clustering analysis. Muscle lengths between multiple pairs of muscles across multiple postures were highly correlated. These correlations broadly formed two proximal and distal groups, where proximal muscles of the arm were correlated with each other and distal muscles of the arm and hand were correlated with each other, but not between groups. Using hierarchical clustering, between 11 and 14 reliable muscle groups were identified. This shows that Musculoskeletal Anatomy does indeed shape the mechanical interactions by grouping muscles into functional clusters that generally match the functional repertoire of the human arm. Together, these results support the idea that the structure of the Musculoskeletal system is tuned to solve movement complexity problem by reducing the dimensionality of available solutions.

massage and medicine an interprofessional approach to learning Musculoskeletal Anatomy and enhancing personal wellness
Academic Medicine, 2019Co-Authors: Darren S Hoffmann, Dede Dancing, Marcy RosenbaumAbstract:PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of a unique curriculum combining learning of surface Anatomy and massage therapy for medical and physician assistant students. METHOD: The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial in 2014 at University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine with 20 first-year students who viewed 4 hours of educational videos and participated in 11 hours of hands-on massage practice and 20 first-year students who only viewed the educational videos. Participants completed pre- and postcourse assessments of knowledge, attitudes, and personal wellness and completed a validated assessment of four dimensions of personal wellness. RESULTS: Hands-on group participants outscored the online-only group in postcourse knowledge assessments of surface Anatomy and massage therapy principles (P < .05). Students in the hands-on group reported higher agreement with statements about perceived knowledge and beliefs about referrals and advising patients regarding massage therapy (P < .05). Students also frequently reported greater comfort administering physical examinations. Hands-on group participants had statistically significant improvements in psychological wellness during the study (P = .03), whereas online-only participants had a slight decrease (P = .09). Physical wellness was also slightly improved in the hands-on group (P = .06). CONCLUSIONS: Findings show that integrating surface Anatomy and massage therapy in an experiential course resulted in significant gains in knowledge of Anatomy, understanding about interprofessional health care roles, increased confidence in clinical practice, and improved wellness. Accordingly, further development of learning experiences that incorporate basic science, interprofessional education, and techniques that promote student wellness should be encouraged.

virtual reality Anatomy is it comparable with traditional methods in the teaching of human forearm Musculoskeletal Anatomy
Anatomical Sciences Education, 2011Co-Authors: Anthony M Codd, Bipasha ChoudhuryAbstract:The use of cadavers to teach Anatomy is well established, but limitations with this approach have led to the introduction of alternative teaching methods. One such method is the use of three-dimensional virtual reality computer models. An interactive, three-dimensional computer model of human forearm anterior compartment Musculoskeletal Anatomy was produced using the open source 3D imaging program “Blender.” The aim was to evaluate the use of 3D virtual reality when compared with traditional Anatomy teaching methods. Three groups were identified from the University of Manchester second year Human Anatomy Research Skills Module class: a “control” group (no prior knowledge of forearm Anatomy), a “traditional methods” group (taught using dissection and textbooks), and a “model” group (taught solely using e-resource). The groups were assessed on Anatomy of the forearm by a ten question practical examination. ANOVA analysis showed the model group mean test score to be significantly higher than the control group (mean 7.25 vs. 1.46, P 0.5). Feedback from all users of the e-resource was positive. Virtual reality Anatomy learning can be used to compliment traditional teaching methods effectively. Anat Sci Educ 4:119–125, 2011. © 2011 American Association of Anatomists.

Musculoskeletal Anatomy knowledge retention in the macquarie university chiropractic program a cross sectional study
Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020Co-Authors: Anneliese Hulme, Goran ŠtrkaljAbstract:: Attrition of Anatomy knowledge has been an area of concern in health professions curricula. To ensure safe and effective clinical practice, the study of chiropractic requires a good knowledge of Musculoskeletal Anatomy. In this study, Musculoskeletal limb knowledge retention was investigated among students in the 5-year chiropractic program at Macquarie University, Australia. A test of 20 multiple-choice questions, categorized into low-order (LO) and high-order (HO) cognitive ability according to Bloom's Taxonomy, was developed. Students enrolled in the program were invited to participate with 257 of the 387 choosing to participate, (response rate ranging 56%-72% per year level). No attrition of knowledge across the years was observed, instead, a significant increase in knowledge, measured by total LO and HO scores (P < 0.0005), throughout the program. There were significant increases in both low and high cognitive scores which were not uniform, with high-order scores increasing significantly in the last two year levels. The increase of knowledge, may be explained, at least partially, by the vertical and horizontal integrated curriculum. Retrieval of knowledge, especially in clinically applied formats, may have led to an enhanced ability to apply Anatomy knowledge and account for the increased scores in the high-order knowledge seen in the later clinical years. Evaluating Anatomy knowledge retention at different cognitive levels seems to provide a better assessment and is worth considering in future Anatomy educational research.
