MSK Flashcards
Boggy end feel
edema, joint swelling
Rubbery end feel
muscle spasm
What is reverse scapulothoracic rhythm?
use of scapular stabilizers to initiate shoulder motion when shoulder abductors are weakened
common muscle substitution when hip abductors are weak
use of lateral trunk muscles or TFL
What is tenodesis?
use of passive finger flexion by contraction of wrist extensors when finger flexors are weak
common muscle substitutions when pectoralis major is weak
use of long head of biceps, coracobrachialis, and anterior deltoid
common muscle substitutions when hip extensors are weak
use of lower back extensors, adductor magnus, and quadratus lumborum
common muscle substitutions when hip flexors are weak
use of lower abdominal, lower obliques, hip adductors, and latissimus dorsi
Orientation of the glenoid fossa places true ABD at _________
30 degrees anterior to frontal plane
primary function of coracohumeral ligament
When is it taut?
primary function is to reinforce biceps tendon, reinforce superior capsule, and prevent caudal dislocation of humerus
- taut w/ ER
superior GH ligament limits what motions
limits ER and inferior translation
middle GH ligament limits what motions
limits ER and anterior translation
inferior GH ligament
- anterior band - limits ER, anterior, and superior translation
- posterior band - limits ER and anterior translation
At what degree of elevation does ER occur? Why?
75 degrees - to prevent compression of greater tubercle against the acromion
____ ratio of GH:scapulothoracic motion
2:1
- first 30-60 degrees of elevation occurs mainly in the GH joint
requirements for full shoulder elevation (6)
- scapular stabilization
- inferior glide of humerus
- ER of humerus
- rotation of the clavicle at sternoclavicular joint
- scapular ABD and lateral rotation (ER) of acromioclavicular joint
- straightening of thoracic kyphosis
ulnar _______ slightly w/ extension and ________ slightly w/ flexion
pronates w/ extension
supinates w/ flexion
proximal ulnar glides _________ during extension and _________ during flexion
medially during extension and laterally during flexion
normal angle of inclination at hip
115 - 125 degrees
