Review Sheet Questions Flashcards
5 bony structures of the Sh. Complex
clavicle humerus scapula sternum rib cage
3 joints of the Sh. complex
sternoclavicular
acromioclavicular
glenohumeral
2 articulations/spaces of sh. complex
suprahumeral/subacromial
scapulothoracic
Structures that comprise the Sh, girdle
clavicle
scapula
humerus
& all joints (AC,SC,GH)
Function of the labrum
extends the glenoid fossa and keeps the humerus in place
Define scapulohumeral rhythm
Coordinated mvt. between the scapulothoracic space & the sh. girdle.
(2:1) 2- glenohumeral, 1- scapulothoracic
limited sternoclavicular motion limits what shoulder girdle motion
Sh. elevation
GH mvt. ABD & flexion
Define a dermatome innervation
a region of skin innervated by a single spinal nerve (cervical nerve root) C6-C7-C8
Define a cutaneous innervation
region of skin innervated from the terminal branches of the brachial plexus (MARMU)
Differences between C6 and Median nerve damage
C6 will have paresthesia on the thumb and radial side of the forearm.
Median nerve damage paresthesia is on the thumb, index, and middle finger.
Anterior sternoclavicular ligament
strong ligament that supports the weight of UE’s & prevents dislocation
acromioclavicular ligament
weak ligament that is made up of superior and inferior compartments & prevents dislocation of the AC joint.
coracohumeral
holds the head of the humerus in glenoid fossa & supports the upward portion of the humeral head
interclavicular ligament
strong ligament that limits depression of the sternoclavicular joint
coracoacromial
prevents upward dislocation of the humerus
anterior glenohumeral ligaments
provide weak support for the glenohumeral joint
Articular disk (function & location)
located in the sternoclavicular joint. serve as a hinge for motion & provide shock absorption at the sternoclavicular joint.
Structures that lie in the superhumeral space & their clinical importance
Rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatous infraspinatous, subscapularis, teres minor) biceps, subdeltiod.
Compression can cause a shoulder impingement.
