The Sternohyoid Muscle is a thin, strap-like muscle located in the anterior neck. It arises from the manubrium of the sternum and inserts into the body of the hyoid bone. In orthopaedics, the sternohyoid muscle is part of the infrahyoid muscle group, which plays a role in swallowing and stabilizing the hyoid bone. Orthopedic assessments may involve evaluating the sternohyoid muscle in cases of neck pain or dysfunction. While not a primary focus in orthopaedics, understanding the muscles of the neck, including the sternohyoid, is essential for a comprehensive assessment of musculoskeletal conditions in this area. Rehabilitation strategies related to the sternohyoid muscle may involve exercises to improve overall neck strength and function, particularly in cases where there are issues related to swallowing or neck stability.
While not often a primary target in orthopaedic interventions, knowledge of the sternohyoid muscle contributes to a broader understanding of neck anatomy, facilitating a more comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal assessments and rehabilitation.
