Sternoclavikulärled

Sternoclavikulärled is a type of fascial tissue that plays a significant role in the musculoskeletal system of the body. It is a band of fibrous connective tissue that connects the sternum and the clavicle. In Latin, the words "sterno" and "clavicula" mean sternum and collarbone, respectively.

This fascial tissue helps to provide stability and support to the shoulder joint by connecting the pectoral and deltoid muscles to the sternum and clavicle. It also plays a role in the range of motion of the shoulder, particularly in movements that involve lifting the arm or rotating the shoulder.

The sternoclavikulärled is a relatively narrow and critical area of connective tissue that is prone to injury and tension due to its anatomical location. Repetitive strain and poor posture are some of the common causes of tension and strain in this area, which can lead to chronic pain and impaired mobility.

Treatment for tension and strain in the sternoclavikulärled typically involves physical therapy and exercises to improve range of motion and reduce tension in the area. Massage and manual therapy techniques may also be used to release tension in the surrounding muscles and fascial tissue.

The importance of maintaining proper posture and taking regular breaks to stretch and move can help to prevent the development of tension and strain in the sternoclavikulärled. In some cases, chronic tension in this area may be indicative of more serious underlying issues, such as scapular dyskinesis or rotator cuff pathology.
