Skeletal Muscles, also known as voluntary or striated muscles, are a crucial component of the musculoskeletal system in orthopaedics. These muscles attach to bones via tendons and are responsible for body movement, stability, and posture. In orthopaedic assessments, understanding skeletal muscle function is paramount as it directly influences joint mechanics and overall musculoskeletal health. Orthopedic conditions often involve skeletal muscles, such as strains, tears, or imbalances that can lead to pain, dysfunction, or altered joint mechanics. Rehabilitation strategies in orthopaedics frequently include exercises targeting skeletal muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination to optimize joint function and prevent musculoskeletal issues. Skeletal muscle injuries, a common concern in orthopaedics, may result from trauma, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. Diagnosis and management involve clinical examinations, imaging studies, and tailored interventions such as physical therapy, rest, and, in some cases, surgical procedures for severe injuries.
