Pec and Shoulder Flashcards
what type of joint is the sternoclavicular?
modified saddle type synovial
associated structures with sternoclavicular joint
fibrocartilage disc
joint type of acromioclavicular joint
plane type synovial joint
associated structures with acromioclavicular joint
fibrocartilage disc
joint type of glenohumeral joint
ball and socket type synovial joint
list non contractile structures enhancing stability of GH joint (3)
- coracoacromial ligament
- glenohumeral ligaments
- glenoid labrum
what is the glenoid labrum
fibrocartilaginous ring that attaches to margin of glenoid fossa and deepens the glenoid cavity
joint type of scapulothoracic joint
physiological (NOT anatomical) joint
degree of flexion/extension?

flexion to 180
extension to 60
degree of rotation

external to 60 degrees
internal to 80 degrees
degree of ab/adduction

0-180 degrees
degree of ab/adduction

ab: 0-90 degrees
ad: 0-45 degrees
scapulohumeral rhythm
to get full range of motion of glenohumeral joint, scapulothoracic joint contributes by rotating to move glenoid fossa, allowing for full range of motion
0-30 degrees: rotation at glenohumeral joint only
30-180 degrees: GH/ST movement
