Biomechanics of shoulder Flashcards
Glenohumeral Joint type
Ball and socket
Head of humerus joins with glenoid fossa
glenohumeral ligaments
radiate laterally from the supraglenoid tubercle in three bands
Superior, middle and inferior
Function to strengthen the anterior capsule of the joint
rotator cuff interval
defined by
base- the coracoid process
superiorly- border of anterior margin of supraspinatus tendon
inferiorly- superior margin of subscaplaris tendon
sternoclavicular joint type
saddle joint
clavicle is convex superior/inferior and concave anterior/posterior
sternum is concave superior/inferior and convex anterior/posterior
articular disc connecting medial end of clavicle to the first costal cartilage and sternum
Costoclavicular ligament
First rib and it’s costal Cartilage to the anterior margin of the medial end of the clavicle
blood supply of sternoclavicular joint
Internal thoracic and suprascapular arteries
nerve supply of sternoclavicular joint
Branches of subscapular nerve and nerve to subclavius
Acromioclavicular joint
plane joint
Junction of lateral end of clavicle to the acromion process of the scapula
Capsule strengthen superiorly by the acromioclavicular ligament
Coricoclavicular ligament
strengthens lateral end of the clavicle by attaching to the coracoid process
Two parts- trapezoid, and conoid
blood supply of AC joint
Suprascapular and thoracoacromial arteries
nerve supply of AC joint
Lateral pectoral and axillary nerves
What muscles attached to the coracoid process
pec minor
short head of biceps brachii
coracobrachialis
Resting position of shoulder
55° of abduction
30° of horizontal adduction
Close packed position of shoulder
Full abduction and full lateral rotation
The order of movement lost in capsular pattern
lateral rot
Abduction
Medial rotation
Glenohumeral joint ROM norms
Flexion- 100 to 115°
Extension - 20 to 25°
Abduction - 90 to 125°
Lateral rotation - 80 to 90°
Medial rotation - 50 to 60°
Shoulder complex range of motion norms
flexion- 165 to 180°
Extension - 50 to 60°
Abduction - 170 to 180°
Lateral rotation- 90 to 100°
Medial rotation - 70 to 90°
Resting position of scapula
Vertebral border- 5 cm lateral to the spinal processes and between ribs 2-7
Superior angle - T2
Spine of scapula - T4
Inferior angle - T7-T9
Upper rotation 10 to 20°
Internally rotated 30 to 45°
Anteriorly tipped 10 to 20°
Kinematic Principle 1 - ratio
based on generalized 2:1 scapulohumeral rhythm,
active shoulder abduction of about 180° occurs as a result of simultaneous 120° of GH joint abduction and 60° of scapula thoracic upward rotation
principle 2 - upward rotation of scapula is due to
The 60° of upward rotation of the scapula during full shoulder abduction is the result of a simultaneous elevation at the SC joint, combined with upward rotation at the AC joint
principle 3- clavicle…
The clavicle retracts at the SC joint during shoulder abduction
principle 4- upwardly rotating scapula…
The upwardly rotating scapula posteriorly tilts and less consistently externally rotates slightly during full shoulder abduction
principle 5- clavicle rotates…
Clavicle posteriorly rotates around its own axis during shoulder abduction
principle 6- GH rotates…
the GH externally rotates during shoulder abduction
