Ch 16 Flashcards
what is the only attachment site for the shoulder?
the SC joint
plan of scapula
provides a more functional arc for motion than the cardinal sagittal or frontal planes
what is the last growth plate to close
the medial clavicular epiphysis is the last growth plate to close at the age of 25.
angle of inclination is what
is the relationship between the shaft of the humerus and the humeral head in the frontal plane normally 130 to 150 degrees.
angle of torsion is what
is the relationship between the shaft of the humerus and the humeral head
the AC joint
i sa plane synovial join allows a gliding articulation between the acriomion and the clavicle capable of 3 degrees of freedom of movement each around an oblique axis internal and external rotation and upward and downward rotation around an axis perpendicular to the plane of scapula anterior and posterior scapula tipping around the horizontal axis.
Supported by the ac ligament and the oraoclavicular ligament.
external rotation in 0 degrees of abduction
ligaments limiting movement is: superior GH ligament coracohumeral ligament
external rotation in 45 degrees of abduction
middle gh ligament, anterior band of the inferior Gh ligament
external rotation in 90 degrees of abduction
posterior band of the inferior gh ligament
internal rotation in 90 degrees of abduction `
superior gh ligament and the coracohumeral ligament
inferior displacement in 90 degrees of abduction
inferior gh ligament
subscapularis muscle
is the only member of the rotator cuff group that internally rotates the humerus
what is the ratio between the gh and the scapulothoracic articulation
two to one ratio is found between GH elevation and upward scapula rotation.
phases of the pitching motion
wind-up: gh neutral, low joint stresses elbow some degrees of flexion, concentric muscle contration muscular forces mostly generated by the lower extremity
cocking: 90 abduction, external rotation
acceleration 90 abduction moving to internal rotation
deceleration: 90 abduction internal rotation
follow through: horizontal abduction internal rotation decreasing abduction
sprengle’s deformity
a congentitally undescended scapula, may occur on one scapula or both.
