6] SHoulder Flashcards
(91 cards)
AP axis SC joint
Elevation/depression
SI axis SC joint
Protraction and retraction
Longitudinal axis SC joint
Posterior and anterior rotation
Saddle joint
sternoclavicular joint
Articulates with sternum, clavicle and 1st rib
SC joint
Plane joint
AC joint
Articulates with acromion and distal clavicle
AC joint
Improves GH stability
Shock absorption
Increases total shoulder ROM
Scapulothoracic ROM
Scapulohumeral rhythm
1/3 ST motion and 2/3 GH motion but new research says elevation requires both GH and ST motion
Scapula is oriented ?
30 deg anterior to frontal plane
Humerus orientation- angle of inclination
130 - 150
Humerus orientation - angle of Torsion
30 deg retroversion
Ball and socket joint
GH joint
Articular bony anatomy Glenoid labrum Capsule and ligaments - intra-articular pressure Adhesion-cohesion
Static factors that provide mechanical stability
Limits inferior translation
SGHL and CHL
Primary restraint to anterior translation in 45-75 deg ABDuction. Also limits ER in mid ABDuction.
Middle GH lig
Anterior band
Posterior band
Axillary pouch
3 parts of inferior GH lig
Controls inferior translation of humeral head in glenoid
inferior GH lig
- pressure within the joint is negative creating a vacuum in the joint
- venting of capsule increases translation
Negative intra-articular pressure
Characteristics of adhesion-cohesion
High tensile strength (difficult to pull apart)
Low shear strength (slide easily)
Shoulder depressors
Pec major
Lats
Move and stabilize scapula
Serratus anterior
Traps
Rotator cuff muscles and tendons function as
Dynamic ligaments
Resultant force is towards joint compression
Supraspinatus
