Ch.5 Shoulder Joint Flashcards
What skeleton is the shoulder joint attached to, and where?
The axial skeleton at the SC joint clavicle
T/F Wide ROM of the shoulder joint requires a significant amount of laxity
True
The greater the mobility,
The lower the stability
3 types of instability problems
• Rotator cuff impingement
• Subluxations(minor dislocation) and dislocations
Main bones in attachments for shoulder joint muscles(3)
• Scapula, clavicle, and
humerus
What are the fossa’s in the bony scapular landmarks? (3)
• Supraspinous fossa
• Infraspinous fossa
• Subscapular fossa
5 bony humeral landmarks (HGtLtIgDt)
• Head
• Greater tubercle
• Lesser tubercle
• Intertubercular groove
• Deltoid tuberosity
Where does the glenoid fossa and the humerus meet?
Glenohumeral joint
Joints in the GH Joint?
-Multiaxial enarthrodial
- ball-and-socket joint
Glenohumeral joint + shoulder girdle =
Shoulder ROM
For every 2º of glenohumeral motion…
there is 1º of scapula
motion
What relationship is scapulohumeral rhythm
Synergistic
Shoulder joint movements(5x2)
-Abduction & Adduction
-Flexion & Extension
-Horizonal A&A
-External/Internal rotation
-Diagonal A(Tf) &A(Tf)
T=transverse
Bony Scapular landmarks (SsGcApISaLMbSfIfSf)
• Spine of the scapula
• Glenoid cavity
• Coracoid process
• Acromion process
• Inf./sup. angle
• Lat./med. border
• Supraspinous fossa
• Infraspinous fossa
• Subscapular fossa
Where does the glenoid fossa and humerus meet?
Glenohumeral joint
Ligaments are lax until ______ is reached
Extreme ROM
What ligaments provide stability
Glenohumeral ligaments
Shoulder joint movements: Movement of humerus straight anteriorly
Flexion
Shoulder joint movements: Movement of humerus straight posteriorly
Extension
Shoulder joint movements: Movement of humerus toward and across chest/ transverse flexion
Horizontal adduction
Shoulder joint movement: Movement of humerus away from chest/ transverse extension
Horizontal abduction
Shoulder joint movements:
• Movement of humerus laterally away from midline
• With arm abducted, humerus is rotated ”up”
External rotation
Shoulder joint movements:
• Movement of humerus medially toward midline
• With arm abducted, humerus is rotated ”down”
Internal rotation
Shoulder joint movements:
• Movement of humerus in a diagonal
plane away from midline of body
Diagonal abduction
