Gen exercises for shoulder

Question 1

Pectoralis muscles associated with

Answer 1

excessive scapular contraction and downward rotation, both disturbing optimal GH mechanics

Question 2

Posterior inferior, GH capsule associated with

Answer 2

Impingement syndrome and slap tears

Question 3

lat dorsal and teres major associated with

Answer 3

Resistance to upper extremity elevation

Question 4

Essential elements for dynamic stability

Answer 4

Adequate compressive forces- RC
Scapular base
Perception and neuromuscular control
Muscular endurance

Question 5

Dynamic positioning of the fossa relative to the humeral axis is about

Answer 5

30°
And minimizes glenohumeral shear, and maximizes glenohumeral compression

Question 6

Stable base of origin for muscles to help maximize function instability is dependent on

Answer 6

Length dependent activation patterns for deltoid, biceps, triceps, and rotator cuff muscles

Question 7

primary scapular motion

Answer 7

Upward rotation

Impingement - less upward rotation
Instability - less upward rotation
adhesive capsulitis - greater upward rotation

Question 8

Secondary scapular motion

Answer 8

posterior tilting

Impingement -less posterior tilting

Question 9

accessory scapular motion

Answer 9

Variable internal and external rotation

Impingement - greater internal rotation
Instability - greater internal rotation

Answer 21

progress P/AROM as tolerated initiate strengthening and continue to address functional limitations

Question 22

Maturation or remodeling phase for shoulder girdle exercises

Answer 22

return to function

Progress strengthening, agility, dynamic stabilization, and sports specific exercises
