1
Q

What is Scapulohumeral Rhythym

A
  • Refers to the motion that occurs at the scapaulothoracic joint during elevation of the arm
  • Normal Ratio is 2:1
  • 2 deg of Glenohumeral motion for every 1 degree of Scapulothoracic

Q

What Gliding Movement changes occur with surgical tightening of the Shoulder Joint Capsule?

A
  • Obligate movement is said to occur whereby tightening of the posterior capsule or Rotator Interval increase Anterior Translation during forward elevation
  • Excessive Anterior stability after repair can cause humeral head and joint contact posteriorly and can possibly lead to degenerative changes in the shoulder

Q

What is the normal strength ratio of the shoulder in ER and IR?

A
  • External Rotators typically are about 66% as strong as the internal rotators
  • Some (Davies, etc) have proposed during rehabilitation we should shoot for 75% to create a “Posterior Dominant” Shoulder

Q

What ligament is typically contracted in shoulders with adhesive capsulitis?

A

The Coracohumeral ligament
- This ligament prevents ER with arm at side and often needs to be released to regain full ER ROM
