SCAPULOTHORACIC Flashcards
What is the primary type of motion occurring at the scapulothoracic articulation?
glide
The GH is flexing from anatomical position. Which motion occurs at the scap?
depression
The GH is extending from a fully flexed position. What motion occurs at the scap?
elevation
The GH is hyper-extending. What motion occurs at the scap?
anterior tilt
The GH is medially rotating from the Active Test Position. What motion occurs at the scap?
anterior tilt
The GH is horizontally aBducting. What motion occurs at the scap?
retraction
Which muscles provide force coupling for scap upward rotation?
upper trap, lower trap and lower serratus anterior
Which muscles provide force coupling for scap downward rotation?
levator scap, rhomboids and pec minor
The scap is depressing. What is controlling this motion?
eccentric contraction of upper trap and levator scap
Excessive protraction of the scap during active test for upward rotation may be an indication of?
Weakness of the middle trap
Tightness of the Pec Major
Over contribution to Force from the Lower serratus anterior
For Pec Major to create Scap Protraction, which muscles must increase their stabilization contractions?
Infraspinatous and posterior deltoid
Your client presents with an anterior tilted scap. What are possible MOI?
Tightness of Pec Minor
Weakness of lower trap and lower serratus anterior
Tightness of Coracobrachialis
Your standing visual assessment indicates the client’s left scap is closer to midline. Which Passive Test do you suspect may be restricted?
Scap protraction
Pec Minor is weak. Which APR tests would indicate this?
Resisted tests for Depression and Anterior Tilt
Resisted Test for downward rotation
Active Test for Anterior tilt
GH A/P Glide is positive. Which Arthrokinematic Motions was excessive?
glide
The Rhomboid Major Muscle is not stabilizing the scap effectively. What compensatory motions may occur during GH medial rotation?
scap protraction and or scap upward rotation
The scap is spinning around a Z axis and Translating lateral/ superior. Which motion is occuring?
upward rotation
Translation of the head of humerus inferior/ anterior occurs with which GH screening test?
Feagin’s
Protraction and retraction of the scap occur;
Along an X axis
Levator scap is Eccentrically controlling motion. What motion may be occurring at the GH joint?
Flexion
Weakness of the middle trapezius may create which compensatory motion during the active test for scap Upward Rotation?
excessive protraction
Serratus Anterior is tight. Which motions may be restricted?
scap retraction, downward rotation and elevation
What represents the normal average ratio for GH to Scap motion?
2:1
The client’s inferior angle is inferior and medial in standing visual assessment. Which muscles may be hypertonic?
Pec Minor
