BioMechanics Exam 3 Flashcards
Glenohumeral motion arthrokinematic goal
Combine rotation (roll) and translation (slide) to keep humeral head centered on glenoid
Eliminate unwanted slide with active and passive restraints
Passive restraints of glenohumeral joint
Bony geometry
Labrum
Capsuloligamentous structures
Long head of bicep
Negative intra-articular pressure
Arm abduction
Rotator cuff muscles down and deltoid up
Major abductors of humerus
Supraspinatus
-Initiates abduction
Lateral deltoid
-Most active after 30 degrees of abduction
-Superior dislocating component neutralized by infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor
Phase one of GH abduction
Setting phase initiated by supraspinatus
Phase two of GH abduction
The scapula has greater motion, approaching a 1:1 ratio with the humerus
Phase three GH joint abduction
Later in range, the glenohumeral joint again dominates the motion
What muscle is susceptible to damage from impingement?
Supraspinatus
Know how the roll slide mechanism can prevent impingement
When the supraspinatus pulls, a roll is created by abduction and is countered with slide action
Requires external rotation of humerus to clear greater tuberosity
Requires upward rotation of scapula to elevate lateral end of acromion
Know how the roll slide mechanism can lead to impingement?
When the supraspinatus pulls, a roll is created by abduction and is not countered with slide action
Primary impingement
Structural stenosis of subacromial space
Secondary impigment
Functional stenosis of subacromial space due to abnormal arthrokinematics
Hip
Attaches hip to trunk
Deeper labrum at hip
Hips are weight bearing joints
Shoulder
Attaches arms to trunk
Parts of hip
Ilium, sacrum, ischium, pubis
acetabulum
Makes pelvic bowl
Has parts of the ilium, ischium and the pubis
Is socket
Horse shoe shape
Only posterior head of femur attaches to the socket
Fovea capitis
head of femur dimple to make the joint more stable
Is an attachment point for ligamentum teres
Affects ligamentum teres attachment and size
