what are the four joints of the shoulder
acromioclaviuclar (AC), sternoclavicualr (SC), glenohumeral (GH), and coracoidclavicualr (CC)
what type of injury occours to a moveable joint
dislocation
what type of injury occours to a non moveable joint
seperation
what is the AC joints name, function, and connection point
AC joint: acromioclavicualr joint
function: trasmit forces from extremites to the clavicle
connection point: acriomion and lateral clavicle
what is the SC joints name, fucntion, and connection point
SC joint: sternoclaviuclar joint
connection point : articulation of the medial clavicle to the sternum
function: allowing small amount of movement for the clavicle on the antroposteroir plane (forward and backwards)
what is the GH joints name, function, and connection point?
GH joint: Glenohumeral joint
fucntion: connects the upper limb to trunk, provifing wide ROM. acts like the hip joint but w/ more mobility
connection point: humerus and scapula
what is the name of the CC joint, its function, and connection point
CC joint: coracoclavicualr joint
function: not specfied in notes
connection point: corcoid process of the scapula and the clavicle
what projects off of the sternum
xyphoid process
4 bones of the shoudler
humerus, sternum,clavicle, scapula
clavicle is AKA
collarbone
the shoulder trades __________ for ___________
strength/mobility
the only moveable shoulder joint is the
(GH)- glenohumeral joint
the three non-moveable shoulder joints are…..
sternoclavicular (SC), coracoclavicualr (CC), and the acromioclaviclar (AC) joint(s)
the scapula ______ on the back of the rib cage and is held in place by the ______ musscles
floats/shoulder
what is scapuarthorcic movement refering to
the movement of the “floating” scapula
what is the glenoid fossa
a depression articulating with the spherical head of the humerus and is called the GH joint,
what are the musscles that cross the GH joint
deltoid, pectoralis major, bicpes, triceps, latisimus dorsi, and rotator cuff musscle group
what are the muscles in the rotator cuff muscle group
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. the acronym SITS is used to remember these 4 muscles.
what is the function of the rotaor cuff?
assiting in the throwing and overhand movement process
what are the components of the shoulder girldle
a complex made up of the upper arm, clavicale, and scapula
what is the sesnory distrubtion of a nerve called
dermatome
define myotomes
the motor distrubtion of a group of muscles innervated by a single nerve root.
what does shoulder flexion look like
movement of the aarm upwards towards the front of the body
what does shoulder extension lok like
movement of the arm backwards, increasing the joint angle
