A

acromion, coracoacromial ligament, and coracoid process

80
Q

coracoacromial arch role

A

forms the roof over the glenoid fossa and humeral head. role is to limit superior translation of the GHJ

81

which ligament holds the long head of the biceps tendon in the intertebercular groove?

A

transverse humeral ligament

82
Q

supraspinatus is located between which 2 ligaments?

A

coracoacromial and coracohumeral

A

the orientation of the humeral head with respect to the medial and lateral epicondyles

84
Q

normal retroversio nangle

A

30-40 defgrees (head points slightly posterior)
larger angle = more ER
smaller angle = less ER, more IR

85
Q

define force couple

A

two forces that are equal but opposite in direction that produce rotation

86
Q

3 muscles involved in force couple (revolving door example)

A

upper trap, lower trap, SA
force in oppsite directions, torque in same direction
force couple = agonist muscles

87
Q

examples of force couples

A
  • deltoid and supraspinatus

- lat dorsi and teres major

88
Q

can single joint muscles work by themselves?

A

no, require scapular stabilization by one or more other muscles. ex: for deltoid to do abduction, SA has to control scapula so that the motion is effective

89
Q

scapulohumeral rhythm - ratio?

A

2:1 ratio

GHJ moves 2 degrees for every 1 degree of scapular motion

90
Q

phase 1 of SCH rhythm

A

1st 30 degrees of abduction comes from the GHJ

91
Q

phase 2 of SCH rhythm

A

from 30-90 degrees, we get an additional 30 degrees from GHJ and 30 degrees from SCJ.

92
Q

when does the 2:1 ratio occur?

A

during phase 2 of SCH rhythm

93
Q

phase 3 of SCH rhythm

A

90 to 180 degrees. additional 50-60 degrees from GHJ, 30 degrees from ACJ, no more from SCJ

94
Q

when is the SCJ active during scapulohumeral rhythm?

A

phase 2 (contributes 30 degrees of motion from 30-90 degree position of abduction)

95
Q

when does the ACJ move?

A

doesn’t start moving until phase 3, at 90 degrees horizontal abduction. from 90 to 180 degrees = phase 3

96
Q

what motions occur at the SCJ during abduction?

A

first elevation and then posterior rotation

97
Q

what ligament limits motion and causes posterior rotation of the clavicle during the late stages of abduction?

A

coracoclavicular ligament

98
Q

superior rolling of the GH joint is directed by which muscle?

A

supraspinatus

99
Q

when superior rolling occurs, sliding occurs in which direction?

A

inferior. this maintains the head of the humerus away from the coracoacromial arch

100
Q

Arthrokinematics of GHJ

A

when the humeral head rolls up, the supraspinatus pulls medially and down. the more the head rolls up, the more the vertical force of the supraspinatus pushes the head down with respect to the scapula.

101
Q

if your supraspinatus is weak, what occurs with regards to arthrokinematics of GHJ?

A

force is more medial and the head of the humerus goes farther up, causing impingemnt

102
Q

Role of bursa

A

decrease friction forces

103
Q

largest bursa?

A

subdeltoid. actually 3 separate bursa (subdeltoid, subacromial, and subcorocoid)
3 are separated by a thin synovial membrane

104
Q

location of subscapularis bursa

A

between subscapularis tendon and neck of scapula

105
Q

location of infraspinatus bursa

A

between infraspinatus tendon and joint capsule

106
Q

the deltoid tries to create subluxation by pulling the humerus up and the scapula down. which muscles counteract this and how?

A

subscapularis, teres minor, and infraspinatus coutneract this by creating a downward force on the humerus to prevent subluxation

107
Q

JRF at GHJ

A
  • arthrokinematics of humerus abudction is spinning of the humerus on a fixed center of rotation
  • imbalanced forces = superior gliding
  • center of pressure is whithin the glenoid fossa
108
Q

What occurs if the SA is paralyzed?

A

downward rotation of scapula occurs - results in glenoid cavity becoming vertical - higher tension then needed to prevent downwards subluxation

109
Q

GHJ selected specific factors

A

Requirement for extreme mobility
avoid subluxatio ndue to gravity
avoid upward subluxation of humerus
need to exceed ball and socket range
