Chapter 5 Shoulder Flashcards
what do the axioscapular muscles do?
anchor the scapula to the posterior vertebral column and rib cage (axial skeleton)
- move the scapula in its movements
axioscapular muscles (5)
- trapezius
- levator scapulae and rhomboids
- serratus anterior
- pectoralis minor
- rhomboids
4 primary motions of the scapula in the frontal plane + transverse plane
- elevation
- depression
- abduction (protraction)
- adduction (retraction)
- upward rotation
- downward rotation
protraction of the scapula =
abduction with anterior tilt
retraction of the scapula =
adduction with posterior tilt
upward rotation of the scapula =
elevation with abduction
downward rotation of the scapula =
depression with adduction
synergists
force couples
rotator cuff muscles (4)
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- subscapularis
- teres minor
scapulohumeral muscles (4)
- rotator cuff
- deltoid
- teres major
- coracobrachialis (don’t really need to know within the group?)
what do the scapulohumeral muscles do?
connect the scapula to the proximal humerus
what do the rotator cuff muscles do?
create an anatomical cuff around the shoulder joint, enveloping the humeral head almost in its entirety (not really inferiorly)
- maintains functional integrity of GH joint
- promotes rotational movement at the GH joint
scapular dyskinesis
an alteration in the resting or active position of the scapula
scapular winging
weakness of the serratus anterior (is not stabilized against the rib cage)
