Q

What is the ratio of the scapulohumeral rhythm?

Q

What happens in the first 30 degrees of abduction?

A

movement occurs primarily in the GH joint with the scapula moving only to find a stable position or setting

Q

What happens from 30 to 90 degrees of abduction?

A

The scapula moves about an axis of rotation located at the base of the spine of the scapula
superior scapular rot. and clav. elev. result from the action of upper & lower trap as well as serratus ant.
scapula rotates 30 degrees and humerus has abducted 60 degrees

Q

What happens from 90 to 165 degrees of abduction?

A

glenoid rotates sup. putting tension in the c.clav. lig. that the post. clavicle is drawn ant. inferior.
results in post. rotation (30-50 deg) about the long. axis of the clavicle which flips the lat. end superiorly (S shape)
AC JT elevated and scapula is rotated a further 30 deg.
at this point the scapula has rotated sup. 55 deg and the humerus abd. 110 degrees

Q

What happens from 165 to 180 degrees of abduction?

A

unilateral arm = contralateral lateral flexion of spine
BL arm = extension (lumbar lordosis)

20
Q

What can cause restrictions in abduction?

A

reverse scapulohumeral rhythm
fused SC JT
no external humeral rotation
no clavicular rotation

21
Q

What are the prime movers of the shoulder girdle?

A

deltoid
supraspinatus
trapezius
latissimus dorsi
pec major
levator scapulae

22
Q

What are the synergists of the shoulder girdle?

A

infraspinatus
teres minor
subscapularis
rhomboid major and minor
subclavius
long head biceps brachii
traps and serratus anterior
lats and pecs
supraspinatus

23
Q

What are the movements of the SC joint?

A

elevation-depression
rotation

24
Q

What are the axis and plane of protraction-retraction of the SC joint?

A

vertical axis
transverse plane

25
Q

What are the axis and plane elevation and depression of the SC joint?

A

anterior posterior axis
frontal plane

26
Q

Glide and roll occurs in which direction in protraction and retraction of the SC joint?

A

Same direction (concave surface of clavicle moving on convex surface of manubrium)

27
Q

Glide and roll occurs in which direction in elevation and depression of the SC joint?

A

opposite direction (convex surface of clavicle moves on concave surface of manubrium)

28
Q

What is the axis and plane of rotation of the SC joint?

A

mechanical axis
no plane

29
Q

What is the closed pack position of the AC joint?

A

30
Q

What is the capsular pattern of the AC joint?

A

Pain at extreme ranges, especially horizontal adduction and full elevation

31
Q

What is the typical dislocation of the AC joint?

A

Q

What are the 2 major ligaments of the AC joint?

A

34
Q

What does the superior and inferior AC ligaments do?

A

maintain joint congruence and prevent posterior dislocation of the clavicle

35
Q

What does the coracoclavicular ligament limit?
