Q

What are the actions of the trapezius?

A

The upper fibres of the trapezius elevate the scapula and rotate it during abduction of the arm. The middle fibres retract the scapula and the lower fibres pull the scapula inferiorly

Q

How would you test the accessory nerve?

A

test how well the trapezius is functioning. You can do this by getting the patient to elevate the shoulder against resistance.

Q

What are the actions of the rhomboids?

A

Retracts scapula. Rotates scapula to tilt glenohumeral joint inferiorly. Can also fix the scapula to the thoracic wall.

21
Q

What three sections are the deltoids divided into?

A

Anterior, middle and posterior

22
Q

What does the deltoid attach to?

A

The deltoid tuberosity on the l;ateral surface of the humerus

23
Q

What are the deltoids innervated by?

A

The axillary nerve

24
Q

PWhat is the function of the anterior fibres of the deltoids?

A

The anterior fibres flex the arm at the shoulder, the posterior fibres extend the arm at the shoulder

25
Q

What is the function of the middle fibers of the deltoid?

A

The middle fibres are the major abductor of the arm – it takes over from the supraspinatus, which abducts the first 15 degrees.

26
Q

What is the muscle shown in the picture?

A

Teres major

27
Q

What does teres major form?

A

The inferior border of the quadrangular space

28
Q

What does teres major attach?

A

Intertubecular groove of humerus

29
Q

What is the innervation of teres major?

A

Lower subscapular nerve

30
Q

What are the actions of teres major?

A

Adducts at the shoulder and medially rotates the arm

31
Q

What are the rotator cuff muscles?

A

A group of 4 muscles that originate from the scapula and attach to the humeral head, pulling it into the glenoid fossa.

32
Q

What do rotator cuff muscles provide?

A

Stability to the glenohumeral joint

33
Q

What is A?

A

Supraspinatus

34
Q

What is the origin and attachment of the supraspinatus?

A

Originates from the supraspinous fossa on the posterior surface of the scapula, attaches to the greater tuberosity of the humerus

35
Q

What is the innervation of the supraspinatus?

A

Suprascapular nerve

36
Q

What are the actions of the supraspinatus?

A

Responsible for first 15 degrees of abduction, assists deltoid for the rest.

37
Q

What is B?

A

Infraspinatus

38
Q

What is the origin and attachments of the infraspinatus?

A

Originates from the infraspinous fossa, attaches to the greater tubercle of the humerus

39
Q

What is the innervation of the infraspinatus?

A

Suprascapular nerve

40
Q

What are the actions of the infraspinatus?

A

Lateral rotation of arm

41
Q

What is C?

A

Teres minor

42
Q

What are the origins and attachments of teres minor?

A

Originates from midway down the medial border, attaches to the greater tubercle of the humeru

43
Q

What is the innervation of teres minor?

A

Axillary nerve

44
Q

What is the action of teres minor?

A

Lateral rotation of the arm

45
Q

What is D?

A

Subscapularis

46
Q

What are the origins and attachments of the subscapularis?

A

Originates from the subscapular fossa, on the costal surface of the scapula. It attaches to the lesser tubercle of the humerus

47
Q

What is the innervation of the subscapularis?

A

Upper and lower subscapular nerves

48
Q

What is the action of the subscapularis?

A

Actions: Medially rotates arm

49
Q

What is painful arc?

A

pain in the middle of abduction, where the affected area comes into contact with the acromion

50
Q

What causes painful arc?

A

When the arm is abducted, the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle ‘rubs’ against the coraco-acromial arch. The friction is reduced by the subacromial bursa.Under repetitive use, there are degenerative changes in both the subacromial bursa and the supraspinatus tendon.

51
Q

What causes rotator cuff tendonitis?

A

Repetitive use of the rotator cuff muscles can cause the head of the humerus and the muscles to irritate the coraco-acromial arch, which in turn causes inflammation of the rotator cuff
