Exam 4 (Final) Flashcards
What are the bones of the shoulder joint?
scapula, clavicle, humerus
What are the parts of bones that make up the glenohumeral joint?
The spherical head of the humerus, and the small shallow glenoid fossa of the scapula
The spherical head of the humerus is ______
convex
The head of the glenoid fossa of the scapula is ______
concave
The glenohumeral joint is what type of joint?
ball and socket
How many degrees of freedom does the GH joint move in?
3
What are the osteokinematis of the GH joint?
F/T/S + Scaption
the GH joint can move in ______ degrees of abduction/adduction
120/-
The GH joint can move in ____ degrees of rotation
70-90
The GH joint can move in _____ degrees of horizontal abduction/adduction
45/135
The GH joint can move in _____ degrees of flexion and extension
120/50
Why is the GH joint frequently injured?
Due to its design
What deepens the glenoid fossa?
Labrum
Why are the ligaments of the GH joint so lax?
To accommodate wide ROM
What does the labrum do?
deepens fossa, provides cushioning, and prevents excessive translation of humeral head
What are the ligamentous reinforcements of the GH joint?
Coracohumeral, superior glenohumeral, middle glenohumeral, inferior glenohumeral
The GH joint capsule allows for _____ of distraction
1-2 inches
What is the redundant fold?
an axillary pouch
What do the rotator cuff muscles do?
provide compression of the GH joint and give dynamic ligament tension
Joint compression resists what and does what else?
translation forces, centers humeral head
What are the superior muscular reinforcements of the GH joint?
supraspinatus and long head of biceps
What is the inferior musclular reinforcement of the gh joint?
long head of triceps
What is the anterior muscular reinforcement of the gh joint?
subscapularis, pectoralis major, and teris major
What is the posterior muscular reinforcement of the gh joint?
infraspinatus and teres minor
The deltoid is force-coupled with what?
infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
The lower serratus anterior is force coupled with what?
lower trapezius
The levator scapulae is force coupled with what?
weight of arm
What are the specific motions of the gh joint?
horizontal abduction/adduction, diagonal abduction/adduction, circumduction
Abduction is paired with what motion?
upward rotation
Adduction is paired with what motion?
downward rotation
Flexion is paired with what motion?
Elevation/upward motion
Extension is paired with what motion?
depression/downward rotation
Internal rotation is paired with what motion?
Protration
External roation is paired with what motion?
retraction
What are the superior muscles of the shoulder joint?
deltoid, supraspinatus
What are the posterior muscles of the shoulder joint?
infraspinatus, teres minor
What are the anterior muscles of the shoulder joint?
subscapularis, pectoralis major, coracobrachialis, biceps brachii
What are the inferior muscles of the shoulder joint?
latissimus dorsi, teres major, long head of the triceps brachii
What is the function of the middle deltoid?
abduction
What is the function of the anterior deltoid?
abduction, flexion, horizontal adduction, internal rotation
What is the function of the supraspinatus?
Weak abduction, weak flexion, stabilizes GH joint, important dynamic stabilizer in throwing
What is the most often injured of rotator cuff muscles?
supraspinatus
What is the function of the Infraspinatus?
External Rotation, Horizontal abduction, extension, Maintains posterior stability of numeral head in fossa
What is the infraspinatus the most powerful for?
External Rotation
The infraspinatus is effective when?
Rhomboids stabilize scapula
What is the function of the Teres Minor?
External rotation, horizontal abduction, extension
The teres minor stabilizes what?
Humeral head in glenoid fossa
