Scapula & shoulder Flashcards
Glenohumeral is what type of joint?
ball & socket, convex on concave
Acromioclavicular is what type of joint?
gliding, convex on convex
sternoclavicular is what type of joint?
double planar, convex on concave
scapulothoracic is what type of joint?
not a true joint but between scapula and thoracic cage consists of muscle, connective tissue & bursa that allow for gliding type movements, concave on convex
Same direction slide & roll is
concave on convex
opposite direction slide & roll is
convex on concave
Active Range of motion for the shoulder is? AROM
Flexion = 180 Extension = 60 Internal rotation = 90 External rotation = 80 Abduction = 180 Adduction = 35 Horizontal Adduction = 130 Horizontal Abduction = 35
Resting or open packed position
joint capsule is relaxed or untwisted
glenohumeral resting position
55-70 ABD, 30 horizontal ADD
Acromioclavicular resting position
Arm @ side
Sternoclavicular resting position
maximum shoulder elevation and protraction
Closed Packed position
no further movement in that motion is possible
GH closed packed
max abduction & external rotation
AC closed packed
90 abduction
SC closed packed
full elevation of scapula
Phase 1
0-30 degrees
Rtc acts as group to dpress humerus
supraspinatus
deltoid
GH - superior roll with inferior glide
scapula - externally rotates ( serratus anertior stabilizes)
SC - distal end elevates, superior rollwith inferior glide
phase 2
30 - 90
GH
RTC - depresses and laterally rotates
Deltoid, supraspinatus - ABD
greatest impingement @ 70 - 120
Scapula
externally rotates, serratus anterior prevents winging
upper and lower trapforces balance eachother out
SC
elevation of distal clavicle due to superior roll and inferior glide
Coracoclavicular ligaments become taunt and stop the superior roll and inferior glide that makes up hinge action, cause rotation in phase 3
AC
some twisting and rotation
phase 3
90 - 180
GH
deltoid and supra spinatus
biceps join
RTC and ligaments acts to depress, ER, and stabilize GH joint
Scapula
upper trap more active than lower
Serratus anterior externally rotates scapula
SC
rotates externally and points upward
AC rotation is due to scapular rotation

Acromioclavicular joint ligament
Trapezoid ligament
Conoid ligament

Anterior SC ligament
Interclavicular ligament
costoclavicular ligament

Coracoacromial ligament
joint capsule
Biceps brachii long head tendon
Tricepts brachii long head tendon
Glenoid labrum
what forms the roof of the subacromial space and what is inside of it?
roof: coracoacromial ligament
Inside: subacromial bursa, supraspinatus tendon, biceps tendon
what is the purpose of the GH labrum?
to increase the surface area of the glenoid fossa for contact with the humeral head providing stability
the rotator cuff is what 4 muscles?
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
- subscapularis
