A

upward and outward
30
scapulothoracic

32
Q

what are rotational adjustment motions of the AC joint?

A

pivoting or twisting type motions of the scapula around lateral end of the clavicle
optimally align scapula against the thorax

33
Q

what motion of the AC joint is happening in the horizontal plane?
what axis is it?

A

internal rotation (also protraction) of glenoid fossa (and external rotation)
vertical axis

34
Q

what motion of the AC joint is happening in the sagittal plane?
what axis is it?

A

anterior tilting (elevation) or reverse: posterior tilting (depression)
medial-lateral axis

35
Q

what would happen without adjustments of the AC joint?

A

the scapula would have to follow the clavicle exactly and could not adjust the thorax

36
Q

what joint is not true joint with no direct contact?

A

scapulothoracic joint

37
Q

the scapulothoracic joint is separated by what muscles?

A

subscapularis

5-10 degrees
30-40 degrees

40
Q

scapulothoracic elevation is a summation of what?

A

elevation at the SC joint and downward rotation at AC joint

41
Q

in order to have protraction/retraction of ST joint, what summation must occur?

A

summation of horizontal motions at both AC (internal rotation) and SC (protraction)
protracting clavicle around SC joint, SC varies the amount of internal rotation
