Chapter 11: The Shoulder Flashcards
glenohumeral joint
consists of humeral head and the glenoid fossa of scapula. extremely mobile, but is unstable
acromioclavicular joint
articulation formed by the distal end of the clavicle and the acromion process
sternoclavicular joint
articulation formed by the union of the proximal clavicle and the manubrium of the sternum
thrombosis
local coagulation or clotting of the blood
shoulder pointer (stinger)
contusion and subsequent hematoma on the region of the acromioclavicular joint
rotator cuff
group of four muscles crossing the glenohumeral joint; subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, & teres minor
concentric contraction
occurs when a muscle shortens and contracts resulting in joint movement
bursitis
inflammation of a bursa
tendinitis
inflammation of a tendon
impingement syndrome
pain in the shoulder caused by pinching of the rotator cuff muscles beneath the edge of the shoulder blade
SICK scapula
a combination of Scapular malposition, Inferior medial border prominence, Coracoid process tenderness, and dysKinesis of Scapular movement
Scapular Dyskinesis
abnormal mobility or function of the scapula both statically and dynamically.
Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD)
an adaptive process in which the throwing shoulder experiences a loss of internal rotation, usually caused by posterior capsular and rotator cuff tightness, owing to the repetitive cocking (overuse) that occurs with the overhead throwing motion.
Total Glenohumeral ROM (TRM)
the entire measurement are of passive ROM of the shoulder, including internal and external rotation
Osteochrondrosis
self-limiting derangement of normal bone growth in developing bone at the growth plate (swelling and scar tissue)
