shoulder girdle Flashcards
scapula and clavicle move as
unit
only thing “holding” shoulder together
clavicle articulation with sternum
scapulothoracic joint: scapula moves on
ribs
scapulothoracic joint: joint motion occurs at
sternoclavicular joint
sternoclavicular joint __ planes
2
SC joint type
saddle (sellar), diarthrodial, synovial
SC joint movements
15 protraction, 15 retraction, 45 elevation, 5 depression
costoclavicular and interclavicular ligaments provide stability against
double retraction
acrominoclavicular joint type
synovial plane
AC joint motion
20-30 gliding, rotational
AC joint supported by
AC ligament, corococlavicular
why is the AC joint usually injured
not great articulation
importance of SC and AC joints
ab/adduction
up/down rotation
elevate/depression
shoulder girdle protraction aka
abduction
shoulder girdle retraction aka
adduction
shoulder girdle dependent on ___ joint for movement
SC
what do the shoulder girdle muscles do
provide stable base, maintain scapular position, enhance movement
for some shoulder girdle movements, scapula must
rotate or tilt on axis
shoulder girdle lateral tilt
outward tilt
shoulder girdle lateral tilt
outward tilt
shoulder girdle medial tilt
return from lateral, inward
