where is the synovial capsule of the SC jt the least robust?
inferiorly
SC ligaments reinforce and restrain what motions?
AP movements
the interclavicular lig of the SC jt restrains what motions?
superior and lateral motions
the costoclavicular ligs restrain what motion?
elevation

when the SC jt elevates, what is the accessory glide?
downward glide
when the SC jt depresses, what is the accessory glide?
upward glide

what level of the spine is the inferior angle of the scapula?
T7
what level of the spine is the spine of the scapula?
T3
what level of the spine is the superior angle of the scapula?
T2
what planes does the scapular plane fall 45 deg between?
the frontal and sagittal planes
what part of the GH jt is convex?
the humeral head
what part of the GH jt is concave?
the glenoid fossa
what jt mimics a golf ball sitting on a tee?
the GH jt
the GH jt is retroverted about how many degrees?
7.4 deg
is the glenoid fossa angled superiorly or inferiorly?
superiorly
about how thick is the glenoid labrum?
2 mm
what is the glenoid labrum?
fibrocartilagenous ring that thickens the depth of the very shallow glenoid fossa to increase contact and stability
also serves as attachment for some tendons
what is the role of coracohumeral ligament?
to support the shoulder superiorly in the rotator interval
what is the primary restraint for posterior and inferior translation of the shoulder when the arm is at the side?
the coracohumeral ligament
when is the coracohumeral ligament tight?
in external rotation of the shoulder at the side
what are the 3 GH ligaments?
superior, middle, and inferior bands
what does the superior band of the GH ligament do?
resists inferior translation and external rotation when the arm is at the side
resists extension
what does the middle band of the GH ligament do?
resists external rotation
limits anterior translation from 0-45 deg of abduction
what does the inferior band of the GH ligament do?
resists anterior/posterior translation
resists internal/external rotation at 90 deg abduction
when is the inferior band of the GH ligament the tightest?
in external rotation at 90 deg of shoulder abduction
what is the role of the broad axillary pouch at the shoulder?
allows room to bring your arm over your head
what ligaments at the shoulder resist anterior translation in neutral?
the subscap and middle and inferior bands of the GH ligament
where is the transverse humeral ligament?
b/w the greater and lesser trochanters
what is the big dynamic support of the shoulder?
the rotator cuff
what motion(s) does the subscap resist?
external rotation
the supraspinatus and teres minor can produce and resist what motion?
posterior translation
the supraspinatus and teres minor protect from ____ instability by resisting ____ translation
anterior, anterior
what is the role of the rotator cuff?
stabilize the humeral head in the glenoid fossa
what does the rotator cuff do in arm elevation?
depresses the head of the humerus and keeps it centered in the fossa
what forces does the rotator cuff creates with the arm in elevation?
compression and depression
the rotator cuff creates a force couple with what muscle at the shoulder?
the deltoid
external rotation of the shoulder creates what accessory glide?
posterior glide

space issue
anatomic variations
shoulder girdle kinematics
rotator cuff pathology
degenerative changes
overuse
subacromial impingement syndrome
what are intrinsic causes of subacromial impingement syndrome?
vascular changes in RC tendons
tissue tension overload
collagen disorientation
collagen degeneration
what are primary extrinsic causes of subacromial impingement syndrome?
structural posterior capsular tightness, anterior capsular tightness, or rotator cuff pathology
increased superior migration of the humeral head
why would the humeral head ride superiorly?
weak rotator cuff/rotator cuff pathology
what are secondary extrinsic causes of subacromial impingement syndrome?
instability, impaired muscle coordination, or weakness of the scapular stabilizers
