Q

What does the angle of the head of the humerus determine? what occurs if the angle is less than normal

A

range of some movements

GT sits higher and hits acromion prematurely limiting ROM

Q

What are 2 causes of biceps tenosynovitis

A
  • Chronic contraction of spasms of subscapularis lead to compression of tendon of long head of biceps
  • Paralysis of subscapularis results in ligament being too loose, and tendon snaps in and out

25
Q

What is the ROM for shoulder horizontal abduction

A

30

26
Q

What is the ROM for shoulder lateral rotation and medial rotation

A

lat - 80

med - 95

27
Q

The Coracoid humeral ligament is stretched by what movement

A

extension

28
Q

the GH ligaments are stretched by what movement

A

Lateral rotation

29
Q

what type of joint is the acromio-clavicular

A

synovial planar joint

30
Q

What is the purpose of the coracoacromial ligament

A

NOT supporting but rather provide protection to the structures running underneath it

31
Q

What are the two bands of the coraco-clavicular ligament

A

Conoid and Trapezoid

32
Q

The sternoclavicular joint has 3 _____ligaments, what are they?

A

3 intrinsic ligaments

Anterior, posterior, and inferior sternoclavicular ligaments

33
Q

The intra articular disc is made up of ____, why?

A

Fibrocartilage

Because it is the only cynoical joint connecting upper limb to torso, so it gets the cusion of fibrocartilage

34
Q

What are the extrinsic ligaments of the sterno-clavicular joint

A

Inter-clavicular ligament

Costaclavicular ligament

35
Q

What movements take place at the sternoclavicular joint

A

Elevation and depression
Protraction and retraction
Axial rotation of clavicle

36
Q

when does axial rotation of the clavicle occur

A

when you are passing 90 degrees of flexion

37
Q

What muscle is responsible for axial rotation of the clavicle

A

subclavius

38
Q

Where does the costoclavicular ligament run?

A

Between 1st rib and clavicle

39
Q

is the scapulo-thoracic joint an anatomical joint? why is it classified the way it is

A

no - doesnt have structure

but it moves like a joint and is part of the shoulder complex

40
Q

at which rib do you find the following landmarks:
Superior angle of scap
Root of scap
Infe angle of scap

A

Rib 2
Rib 3
Rib 7

41
Q

Which ribs contribute to the scapulo-thoracic joint

A

ribs 2-7

42
Q

When does the upward rotation of scapula start

A

after 90 degrees of abduction or flexion

When the greater tubercle hits the acromion might not be fully true

43
Q

What is the Abduction of GH to upward rotation of scapula ratio? What is this referred to as

A

2:1 degrees

Scapulo thoracic rhythm

44
Q

Dislocation of the shoulder complex occurs in which drections

A

anterior posterior

45
Q

Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is referred to as….

A

shoulder separation
