Q

RC tendinitis is assocaited with what other condition

A

shoulder impingement syndrome

55
Q

what is shoulder impingement syndrome

A

irritation due to the pinching of the supraspinatus tendon in motion

56
Q

what is the painful arc test

A

abduction painful between 60 and 120 degrees

57
Q

which ligament forms a roof over the supraspinatus

A

coracoacromial

58
Q

be able to explain RC tendinitis

59
Q

true or false: Rc muscles are considered scapulohumeral muscles

60
Q

is deltoid a scapulohumeral muscles

61
Q

what is the origin of the deltoid muscles

A

clavicle, acromial and spinal

62
Q

what is the insertion of the deltoid m

A

deltoid tuberocity of hum

63
Q

what is the action of the anterior/clavicular fibers of the detloid

64
Q

what is the action of the lateral/acromial fibers of the detloid

65
Q

what is the action of the psoterior/spinal fibers of the detloid

66
Q

what is a common condition assocaited withdeltoid m

A

subacromial/subdeltoid m

A

thin, fluid filled sacs between tisses (ex: muscles, bones and ligs)

68
Q

what is the function of bursae

A

reduces friction between the tissues

80
Q

what is the insertion of the teresm= major

A

crest of lesser tubercle of humerus (medial)

81
Q

why does teres major do medial rotation

A

because it begins posteiror and crosses anterior

82
Q

what are the actions of the teres major

A

adduction, medial rotation

extension (when shoudler flexed)

83
Q

when does teres major do extension

A

when shoulder is flexed

84
Q

what are the scapulohumeral muscles

A

RC,deltoid
teres major
coracobrach

85
Q

what is the origin of the coracobrach

A

tip of the coracoid process

86
Q

what is the isnertion of the coracobrach

A

medial humerus
(1/2 way down)

87

what is the action of the coracobrach

A

flexion,
adduction
medial rotation (weak)

88

is the coracobrach a primary medial rotator

89
Q

lat dorsi
pectoralis major

90
Q

what is the orogin of the lat dorsi

A

iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia
T7-T12 vert

91

A

floor of humerus intertubercular groove

92

what is the origin of the pec major

A

clavicle, sternum, and ribs

93
Q

what is the insertion of the pec major

A

crest of greater tubercle (most lateralO)

94
Q

what are the actions of the pec major and lat dorsi at the shoulder

A

adduction
medial rotation

(extension when shoulder flexed)

95
Q

true or false: the pec major and lat dorsi only have action at the shoulder and back

A

false, they also cross the scapulothoracic joint therefore move the scapula too

96
Q

what motion at the scap does the pec major do

A

protraction
(downward rot)

97
Q

what motion at the scap does the lat dorsi do

A

retraction
