Q

What cord does the pec minor compress and why is this note worthy?

A

Pec minor compresses the posterior cord which gives off the radial and axillary nerve. The posterior cord also gives off the upper and lower subscapular nerves and the thoracodorsal nerve. Because of this, sometimes when the pec minor is too tight it can produce signs and symptoms that appear like cardiac issues (potential MI) in females.

59
Q

What is the axis of upward rotation of the ST joint?

A

Anterior - posterior at the scapula

60
Q

What are the rolls of the upward rotators?

A
  • Drive upward rotation and furnish rotational adjustments of the scapula (posterior tilt and external rotation - full abduction)

61
Q

What muscle is the best leverage for upward rotation?

A

Serratus anterior

62
Q

What do you typically see with trap muscle weakness?

A
  • With full abduction the T spine extends to 10 - 15 degrees, if the traps are weak this range will change

  • Elevation is possible but difficult, they will compensate with excessive protraction instead of using the serratus anterior
  • Abduction will be very difficult and will require use of the middle traps and retraction
63
Q

A

Long thoracic nerve

64
Q

What will you be able to see with serratus anterior weakness?

65
Q

What is scapular dyskinesia?

A

  • Excessive downward rotation, internal rotation, anterior tilt or elevation
  • Accurate and reliable measurements are difficult to obtain
66
Q

There are 3 patterns of the scapula, what are they associated with?

A

69
Q

What helps with dynamic stability of the GH joint?

A
  • A loose fit humeral head and glenoid fossa
  • Extensive ROM in the GH joint
  • A RC that compensates for natural laxity and natural tendency for instability
  • Distal attachments of the RC that blend into the capsule before attaching to the proximal humerus
