Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I've been looking for an on-line muscle chart. I thought it would be easy, it wasn't. This is the best I could find. For some of you wanting to know the names of the muscles your are trying to describe, this should help. You could put it in your favorites list for view when you need it. http://danke.com/Orthodoc/muscles.html Cindylouwho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I've been looking for an on-line muscle chart. I thought it would be easy, it wasn't. This is the best I could find. ---------------- The reason it isn't easy to find is that most folks listing things are trying to sell something. I took a quick look at the site. It gives general locations for the muscles but not much specific detail in the pictures on precise origins and insertions. The text gives better info, but that doesn't do most of the list any good if they don't already know something like " the lesser trochanter " or " tibial condyle. " And if they are already that well versed, they probably already know more than the charts will show anyway. But – it is a starting point and more than most of them have available. The big possible confusion that I see is the way they show the pain referral patterns. It is easy to misinterpret what they are saying and think that is where the muscle itself is when it isn't. They also talk about trigger points on some of the charts, implying that the pain referral patterns are from trigger points. In some cases they are; in others they aren't. But that will be the problem with any of the free on-line charts (ran into the same thing for acupressure points). The good ones, the ones that really do the trick, won't be out there for free. There will just be a web address where you can order them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
