Anatomy of the Knee and Shoulder Joints

For your SLP, you have been asked to teach an anatomy and physiology course for a local vocational nursing school. In order to do this, you are going to need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation that will be used in your lectures.

In this SLP, you will prepare a presentation, consisting of 15 slides, in which you provide your audience with information on the following areas

1) Introduce the anatomy of the knee and shoulder joints (articulating surfaces of bone).

2) Discuss the anatomy of the knee and shoulder.  Include labels of:

Knee

• The ligaments ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, (LABEL WITH THE FULL NAMES) the menisci
• The muscles that cross the knee joint:  the quadriceps (label all four) and the hamstrings (label all three)

Shoulder

• glenoid labrum
• bursa and tendon sheath
• rotator cuff muscles
• rotator cuff ligaments
• the major muscles that cross the shoulder to move the humerus:  deltoid, pectoralis major, and trapezius

3) Label the tendons, ligaments, and/or internal joint structures that are commonly damaged in the shoulder and knee, and what motions cause that damage.

4) Provide examples of therapies used to treat those injuries.

Don’t forget–the speaker notes should be sufficient in depth and breadth to demonstrate to me that you understood the topics under consideration in this module!  Much of this information can be found in the videos you are required to watch!

SLP Assignment Expectations

Number of Slides: 15

Content of Slides: Your presentation should use UNLABELED images that you label yourself using textboxes and arrows to address each of the areas listed above.

Speaker Notes

Each slide will contain speaker notes sufficient to tell me what the purpose of each slide is—specifically, what you would say to a live audience that you were presenting your program to.
