SCAP Flashcards
scap lies in a ___ angle to which plane?
30 deg to the coronal plane
the scap articulate at the GH and AC joint at what degrees?
60
at static positioning the spine of the scap should lie at
T3
with winged scap the ___ border is lifted which means what nerve is injured?
medial
long thoracic
what type of acromion is implicated to cause an impingement?
3 because it is hooked
what type of acromion is curved?
2
what is scaption?
30 deg. anterior to the coronal plane –> outlet space is open
position of muscular equilibrium
if patient is doing abduction excercises what postion should they do it in?
scaption
what muscle is primarily responsible for the abduction of arm in coronal plane?
the middle delt
how can you determine the action of the muscle given its position to the axis of rotation?
the muscles that are lateral to the axis will aid in abduction in the coronal plane
in the coronal plane what is the action of the anterior delt?
it can abd or add
in the coronal plane the posterior delt aids in when motion?
adduction
the firing order of deltoid with abduction in the coronal plane?
middle -> posterior –> anterior
abduction in the scapular plane involved which parts of the deltoid muscle?
middle and anterior
why does scaption recruit more anterior delt fibers?
because of ER
peak strength of delt in both the coronal and scaption
90 deg.
protraction and retraction occurs along which axis?
y
which muscles are responsible for protraction of scap
pec minor and serratus anterior
which muscles are responsible for the retraction of the scap
rhomboid and middle trap
tilting of the scap happens on which axes?
x
posterior tilting is when the arm is
flexed
anterior tilting is when the arm is
extended
what muscles are responsible for posterior tilting of scap
lower trap
what muscles are responsible for anterior tilt
upper trap
serratus anterior
pec minor
during which motion does the scap become moere sagittal?
protractions
what happens anatomically in protraction of the scap?
the medial border of the scap is pulled inward to spine and glenoid faces anteriorly
vertical elevation of scap is like what other action?
anterior tilt
depression of scap is like what other action?
posterior tilt
angular rotation occurs along what axis?
Z axis
