PP 2 Flashcards
What makes up The Shoulder Complex?
glenohumeral joint (ball and socket) and the shoulder girdle
Describe the shoulder complex.
two articulations 1. medial sternoclavicular joint (saddle) 2. lateral acromioclavicular joint (gliding). one interface 1. Scapulothoracic interface
What is the Scapulothoracic interface?
the contiguous relationship of the anterior scapular surface with the ribs of the thorax.
The Shoulder Girdle Primary Movements:
-Elevation -Depression -Abduction (Protraction) -Adduction (Retraction) -Upward Rotation -Downward Rotation
The Shoulder Girdle Accessory Movements
-anterior and posterior rotation of the clavicle -anterior and posterior tilt of the scapula -scapular winging
The Shoulder Joint movements
-Flexion -Extension -Abduction -Adduction -Internal rotation -External rotation -Horizontal abduction -Horizontal adduction -Circumduction
How much support does the shoulder capsule provide to the joint?
very little
Describe the shoulder capsule?
thin and loose
What does the shoulder capsule look like in anatomical position? Elevated?
-capsule is taut superiorly, hangs in a fold inferiorly; -as arm is elevated the situation is reversed
- What is the purpose of the coracoclavicular ligament?
- Which ligament makes it up?
- Maintain the relationship between clavicle and scapula
- Trapezoid ligament and conoid ligament
What are the 3 glenohumeral ligaments and what do they do?
superior, middle and inferior
strengthen the capsule, attach to the labrum
_________ joint motion is coupled with sternoclavicular joint movement.
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint
Describe the 3 classifications of AC joint seperation.
- Type 1 (ligament stretch)
- Type 2 (Partial rupture AC ligaments)
- Type 3 (Complete rupture of AC and CC ligaments)
