43
Q

A

• Very important for GH joint stability – Hold the Humeral head in the Glenoid fossa

44
Q

What movement is the supraspinatus responsible for?

A

First 15 degrees of abduction
- initiates abduction to be continued by deltoid then scapular movement
at glenohumeral joint

45
Q

What movement is the infraspinatus responsible for?

A

External rotation

at glenohumeral joint

46
Q

What movement is the trees minor responsible for?

A

External rotation

at glenohumeral joint

47
Q

What movement is the subscapularis responsible for?

A

Internal rotation

at glenohumeral joint

48
Q

Whats a good way to remember the insertion of the rotator cuff muscles on the humerus?

A

Place the first 4 digits of the hand on the head of the humerus with the thumb on the anterior surface and the palm facing the medial aspect

Digits 2,3 and 4 represent SIT with the thumb representing the final S: subscapularis

49
Q

Where do the rotator cuff muscles actually insert?

A

Supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor all insert on the greater tuberosity of the head of the humerus.

Subscapularis inserts on the lesser tuberosity

50
Q

Where does the supraspinatus run and what problems can this cause?

A

Beneath the acromion.

This can cause issues with rubbing on the subacromial bursa and inflammation can lead to impingement
Excessive rubbing on the bone can cause bony spurs to form also

Q

What muscles from the arm cross the glenohumeral joint?

A

– Long head of Biceps Brachii
– Corocobrachialis
– Long head of triceps

52
Q

Discuss the deep fascia of the pectoral and scapular regions

A

There are associated deep fascia for every muscle, some of the epimysium will come off of the muscle and blend with other deep fascias, eg clavipectoral fascia
