Common Shoulder Symptoms
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Weakness
- Instability
The shoulder is an Inherently … Joint
The shoulder is an Inherently unstable Joint
Glenohumeral Joint Stability
- Static stabilisers - C… and L
- Dynamic stabilisers - … … Muscles
- Static stabilisers - Capsule and Labrum
- Dynamic stabilisers - Rotator Cuff Muscles
What are these muscles called?
Rotator cuff muscles (named based on position on scapula)
Anterior shoulder - … (rotator cuff muscle) - internal rotation
Anterior shoulder - subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) - internal rotation
Posterior shoulder - …, …, … (rotator cuff muscles) - external rotation
Posterior shoulder - Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor (rotator cuff muscles) - external rotation
Rotator cuff muscles - Tendon - attachment to bones
Rotator Cuff Biomechanics
- Rotator cuff - work in … couples
- Not working - one of their roles keeps head … against glenoid, deltoid and pec cause instability type force on humeral head
- Rotator cuff - work in force couples
- A force couple is a system that exerts a resultant movement, but no resultant force. Two equal and opposite forces exert a purely rotation force. In the shoulder the body is the humeral head and the equal but opposite forces are the rotator cuff muscles.
- Not working - one of their roles keeps head pressed against glenoid, deltoid and pec cause instability type force on humeral head
Rotator Cuff Role
- Stabilise the … Joint
- Provide a … for power muscles to move arm
- Stabilise the Glenohumeral Joint
- Provide a FULCRUM for power muscles to move arm
Superficial ‘Power’ Muscles include
- Deltoid
- Pec major
