Lecture 14 Flashcards
What movements occur at the shoulder?
Flexion/extension
Adduction/abduction
Medial rotation/lateral rotation
Circumduction
What are the three true bi articular (synovial) joints of the shoulder?
Sternoclavicular
Acromioclavicular
Glenohumeral
What are the two physiological (functional) joints of the shoulder?
Subdeltoid - allows supraspinatus to do abduction.
Scapulothoracic - keeps scapula sitting against rib cage.
What movements occur at the sternoclavicular joint?
Elevation/depression
Rotraction/protraction
What is the blood supply for the sternoclavicular joint?
Internal thoracic
Suprascapular
What is the shoulder complex made up of?
The pectoral girdle (manubrium of sternum, clavicle, scapula)
The humerus
What is the nerve supply to the sternoclavicular joint?
The subclavius nerve
Which has more severe consequences and why - an anterior shoulder subluxation or a posterior subluxation?
Posterior
Subclavian and carotid arteries
What is the blood supply of the acromioclavicular joint?
The suprascapular and thoracoacromial arteries.
What is the nerve supply of the acromioclavicular joint?
Supraclavicular
Lateral pectoral
Axillary
What are the intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments of the acromioclavicular joint?
Intrinsic:
Acromioclavicular
Extrinsic:
Coracoclavicular
- conoid
- trapezoid
How do the conoid and trapezoid ligaments work separately and together ?
Conoid: in the sagittal plane, stops vertical displacement of the clavicle, holds it down in place.
Trapezoid: in the transverse/horizontal plane, stops lateral displacement of the clavicle.
Together: provide stability to stop excessive rotation of the scapula and clavicle to prevent shoulder separation.
Which muscles protract the shoulder?
Serratus anterior
Pectoralis minor
Which muscles retract the shoulder?
Trapezius
Rhomboid
Which muscles elevate the shoulder?
Trapezius (upper fibres)
Levator scapulae
