Chap 12 shoulder girdle Flashcards
The shoulder girdle contains
sternum, clavical, scapula, sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, scapulothoracic joint
glenohumeral joint contains
glenoid fossa of scapula and head of humerus
elevation
scapula moves superiorly
depression
scapula moves inferiorly
protraction
scapula moves away from the vertebral
retraction
scapula moves toward the vertebral
upward rotation
rotation of the inferior angle laterally and superiorly
downward rotation
rotation of the inferior angle medially and inferiorly
scapular tilt
rotation of the inferior angle posteriorly
scapular winging
movement of the medial border posteriorly
plane of the scapula is approximately … forward of the frontal plane
30 degrees
what is the rule for scapulohumeral rhythm
2 degrees of shoulder abduction to 1 degree of scapular upward rotation, 2:1
What are the advantages of scapulohumeral rhythm
avoids contact of greater tubercles of humerus with acromion process and smaller arthrokenematic motion within the glenohumeral joint are required as the humeral head rotates within the shallow glenoid fossa
sternoclavicular joint
between manubrium and clavicle, synovial, only attachment of upper extremity to axial skeleton, triaxial, little osteokenematic motion due to length of lever arm
movements of the SC
elevation/depression - frontal plane, sagittal axis
protraction/retraction - horizontal plane, vertical axis
rotation - sagittal plane, frontal axis
only the clavicle moves
