Q

what are the roles of scapulothoracic joint?

A
  • provides a movable base for the humerus (increasing arm ROM at shoulder joint)
  • helps deltoid function with proper tension
  • provides glenohumeral stability for overhead work
  • absorbs shocks to outstretched arms

Q

what are the articular surfaces of the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint?

A

the glenoid fossa of the scapula and the head of the humerus

17
Q

what are the articular surfaces covered by for the glenohumeral joint?

A

hyaline cartilage

18
Q

what type of joint is the glenohumeral joint?

A

ball and socket synovial joint

19
Q

what is the most mobile joint in the human body?

A

the shoulder joint

20
Q

how many planes can the shoulder move in?

A

3 planes of axis

21
Q

what is glenoid labrum

A

a ring of fibrocartilage attached to the margins of the glenoid cavity. It widens the cavity slightly to make the articular surfaces congruent

22
Q

describe the capsule of the glenohumeral joint?

A

attaches to the margins of the glenoid cavity medially and to the anatomical neck of the humerus laterally

23
Q

what are the supportive ligaments of the glenohumeral?

A
  • capsular ligaments
  • transverse humeral ligament
  • coracohumeral ligament
24
Q

what is the coracoacromial arch?

A

extrinsic, protective structure formed by the smooth inferior aspect of the acromion and coracoid processes of the scapula, and the coracoacromial ligament bridging the gap between them. This arch overlies the head of the humerus, preventing its superior displacement from the glenoid cavity

25
Q

what’s the point of bursae?

A

serve to decrease friction between the tendon and/or muscle and joint capsule

26
Q

explain the subacromial bursa?

A

between the acromion and the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle. It facilitates movements of the supraspinatus tendon under the coracoacromial arch and of the deltoid over the fibrous capsule and greater tubercle of the humerus

27
Q

explain the subdeltoid bursa?

A

between the deltoid and the fibrous capsule

28
Q

what are the movements of the shoulder joints?

A
  1. flexion and extension
  2. adduction
  3. abduction
  4. rotation
