what joints make up the shoulder complex?
- sternoclavicular
- acromioclavicular
- glenohumeral
- scapulothoracic
what type of joint is the sternoclavicular
saddle joint
what does the sternoclavicular joint look like at rest?
joint space is wedge shaped and open superiorly
what does the sternoclavicular disc do?
- creates two joint spaces
- increases joint congruency
- absorbs forces
- helps limit medial movement of clavicle
osteokinematics of sternoclavicular joint
- elevation/depression
- protraction/retraction
- anterior/posterior rotation
in elevation/depression the SC joint moves….
convex on concave
elevation of SC joint is
superior roll, inferior glide
depression of SC joint is
inferior roll, superior glide
in protraction/retraction the SC joint moves….
concave on convex
protraction of SC joint is..
anterior roll and glide
retraction of SC joint is
posterior roll and glide
arthrokinematics of posterior rotation of SC joint
the inferior surface turns anteriorly
- also called backward rotation
arthrokinematics of anterior rotation of SC joint
inferior surface returns to inferior position
closed pack position of SC joint
full posterior rotation
what type of joint is the acromioclavicular joint
plane synovial
what is the primary function of the AC joint
to allow the scapula to rotate during arm movement
what are the osteokinematics of the AC joint
- internal/external rotation
- anterior/posteror tilting (tipping)
- upward/downward rotation
what is the plane of the scapula
35 degrees off of the frontal
what does internal/external rotation of the AC joint help with?
helps to maintain contact of scapula on curved thorax during protraction and retraction of clavicle
what does anterior/posterior tilting of the AC joint help with?
helps to maintain contact of scapula on curved thorax during elevation and depression of clavicle
upward rotation of AC joint is associated with..
scapula swings upwardly and outwardly
- component of abduction and flexion
what is the closed pack position of the AC joint
full upward rotation (in flexion or abduction)
what are the primary movements of the scapulothoracic joint
- elevation/depression
- protraction/retraction
- upward/downward rotation
what are the secondary movements of the scapulothoracic joint
- anterior/posterior tilting
