Shoulder Part 1: Exam 3 Flashcards
(38 cards)
Movement and stablization of the shoulder requires integrated function of what?
- rotator cuff muscles
- joint capsule
- scapula stabilizing muscles
Bones of the shoulder complex
- clavicle
- scapula
- humerus
Joints of the shoulder complex
- sternoclavicular
- acromioclavicular
- glenohumeral
- scapulothoracic
Ligaments of the shoulder complex
- sternoclavicular
- acromioclavicular
- coracoclavicular
- glenohumeral
SC joint
Sternoclavicular
SC joint articulation
Clavical articulates with manubrium of the sternum
What is between the articulating surfaces?
Fibrocartilaginous disk
Fibrocartilaginous disk
- shock absorber and helps prevent displacement
- clavicle permitted to move up and down, forward and backwards and in rotation
AC joint
Acromioclavicular joint
AC join location
Lateral end of the clavicle
-acromion process of scapula meets lateral end of clavicle
AC joint injuries
Weak joint and susceptible to sprain and separation
GH joint
Glenohumeral
What type of joint is the GH joint?
Ball and socket joint
GH joint location
Round head of humerus articulates with shallow glenoid fossa of scapula
What helps to widen and deepen the articulation of humerus and scapula?
Glenoid labrum
What statically stabilizes the GH joint?
Labrum and capsular ligaments
What dynamically stabilizes the GH joint?
Deltoid and rotator cuff muscles
ST joint
Scapulothoracic joint
What is not a real joint?
ST joint
What is critical to joint motion?
Movement of scapula on thoracic cage
Scapulohumeral rhythm
During humeral elevation scapula and humerus must move in synchronous fashion
Shoulder muscles (5)
- rotator cuff
- deltoids
- pectoralis major
- biceps
- triceps
Rotator cuff function
Provides most of the dynamic stability of the GH joint
4 muscles of the rotator cuff
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
- subscapularis
