Q

Define the CONVEX/CONCAVE motion rule

A

In joints with fixed concave and moving convex surfaces (ex: glenohumeral joint, radiocarpal joint) the roll and the glide happen in opposite directions.
In joints with fixed convex and moving concave surfaces (ex : humeroradial joint, humeroulnar joint, MCP, IP joints) the roll and the glide happen in the same directions.

Q

What are the basic movements of the glenohumeral joint ?

A

  • horizontal abduction / adduction
  • internal / external rotation
  • internal / external rotation at 90°
24
Q

Describe the arthrokinematics of glenohumeral abduction

A
  • convex humeral head rolls superiorly on concave glenohumeral fossa so the glide is inferior
25
Q

Which structure stabilize the humerus during abduction

A

The articular capsule tension

26
Q

What is the general principle of shoulder arthrokinematics ?

A

There is a ratio of 2:1 between shoulder elevation and scapula upward rotation

27
Q

Describe the scapula humeral rhythm

A

Phase 1 : 30° total elevation
Humerus abduction 0° to 30°
Clavicle elevation 0° to 5°
Scapula minimal medial movement

Phase 2 : 90° total elevation
Humerus abduction from 40° up to 90°
Clavicle elevation 15° elevation
Scapula 20° lateral rotation

Phase 3 : from 90° to 180° total elevation
Humerus 60° abduction + 90° lateral rotation
Clavicle 30° to 50° posterior rotation + 15° elevation
Scapula 30° to 40° lateral rotation

28
Q

Consider the clavicle in the scapular rhythm, what permits the 60° of scapula upward rotation ?

A
  • elevation and retraction of the sternoclavicular joint
  • upward rotation of acromioclavicular joint
  • posterior rotation of the clavicle
29
Q

What happens to scapula during shoulder abduction ?

A
  • posterior tilt (sagittal plane)

- external rotation (horizontal plane)

30
Q

Why are posterior tilt and external rotation of the scapula helpful for during shoulder abduction

A

Keep a safe distance between the humeral head and the acromion

31
Q

What happens to humerus during shoulder abduction ?

A

Humerus externally rotates. This allows the greater tubercle of the humerus to move posterior to the acromion and therefore increases the subacromial space

32
Q

Which structures provide a dynamic centralization of the humeral head ?

A
  • Subscapularis tendon
  • infraspinatus tendon
  • capsule tension
33
Q

During shoulder abduction, what are the muscles implied in the scapulothoracic movement and how ?

A
  • serratus anterior
  • upper trapezius
  • lower trapezius
    They rotate the scapula upwards
  • serratus anterior
  • lower trapezius
    They create the posterior tilt of the scapula and maintain it against the thorax
34
Q

During shoulder adduction, what are the muscles implied into the scapulo thoracic movement and how ?

A
  • rhomboid major
  • rhomboid minor
  • levatore scapulae
  • pectoralis minor
