Glenohumeral Joint (GH) Flashcards
1
Q
label the boney features of the GH Joint
A
- head od humerus
- glenoid fossa
2
Q
how stable is the GH joint
A
- not a lot of boney stabilitly
- designed for lots of freedom of movement
3
Q
identify the movement
A
- flexion in the sagittal plane
- extension in the sagittal plane
4
Q
identify the movement
A
- abduction
- adduction
5
Q
identify the movement
A
- cross flexion
- cross extension
(or flexion and extension in the horizontal plane)
6
Q
identify the movement
A
- external rotation of the GH joint
- internal rotation of the GH joint
7
Q
identify the motion
A
- external/ lateral rotation
- internal/ medial rotation
8
Q
label the scapula boney features
A
- spine of scapula
- acromion process
- supra spinous fossa
- infraspinous fossa
- glenoid fossa
9
Q
label the scapular boney features
A
- acromion process
- coracoid process
- subscapular fossa
- glenoid fossa
- supraglenoid tubercle
- infraglenoid tubercle
10
Q
identify the shoulder boney features
A
- anatomic neck of humerus
- lesser tubercle
- greater tubercle
- bicipital groove
- lateral lip of bicipital groove
- medial lip of bicipital groove
- surgical neck of humerus
- deltoid tuberosity
11
Q
identify the ligament - what motion does it limit?
A
- coraco-acromial ligament
- does not limit any motion - does not cross a joint
12
Q
identify the muscle
A
supraspinatus
13
Q
identify the green outline - what is its function
A
- glenoid labrum
- acts as a seal for the joint
- often tears with dislocation of the shoulder
14
Q
label the ligaments
A
- superior glenohumeral ligament (SGHL)
- middle glenohumeral ligament (MGHL)
- inferior glenohumeral ligament complex (IGHL complex)
- axillary pouch
15
Q
identify the ligaments
A
- SGHL
- MGHL
- IGHL complex
