Glenohumeral joint Flashcards
GH joint type
synovial (diarthrosis) ball and socket
GH joint degrees of freedom
3
Positioning of GH fossa and humeral head
GH fossa is directed antero-laterally with slight upward rotation
Humeral head faces medially, posteriorly, and superiorly
GH joint resting position (LPP)
55 degrees abd, 30 degrees horz add, slight ER
GH CPP
max abd and ER (raised hand position)
GH Capsular pattern
ER>abd>IR (order of limited motion “frozen shoulder”)

Arthrokinematics: Flexion
(mostly spinning)
convex on concave
roll in an anterior direction and glide in a posterior direction
(at end range direction may switch)
Arthrokinematics: Extension
(mostly spinning)
roll posterior and glide anterior
