Subscapularis

A

Or: Subscapular fossa (most of anterior surface of scapula)

Ins: Lesser tubercle of humerus

Inv: Upper and lower subscapular nerves (C5, C6*, C7)

BS: Subscapular artery

Action: Medially rotates arm, as part of the rotator cuff muscles, helps hold head of humerus in glenoid cavity

Triceps Brachii medial head

A

Or: Posterior surface of humerus, inferior to radial groove

Ins: Proximal end of olecranon of ulna and facia of forearm

Inv: Radial nerve (C6, C7, C8)

A

Involves simultaneous movement at both the GH and scapulothoracic (SH) joints. For every 15d. of HS movement, 10d. occurs at the GH joint and 5d. at the SH joint

18
Q

Serratus Anterior

A

Or: upper ribs 8 and 9

Ins: costal aspect of medial margin of scapula

Inv: Long thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7)

19
Q

Bones of the shoulder girdle

A
  1. Clavicle
  2. Scapula
  3. Proximal humerus
20
Q

Ligaments of the shoulder

A
  1. Coracoclavicular ligament: strong; suspends scapula and upper limb to clavicle, provides principle integrity and stability to AC joint may be torn in shoulder separation
  2. Acromioclavicular ligament: weak, reinforces AC joint capsule
  3. Coracoacromial ligament: (coracoacromial arch complex) resists upward displacement of humerus from glenoid cavity. chronic, repetitive upward displacement of humerus may lead to impingement injury of rotator cuff and shoulder pain
21
Q

Joints of upper Limb

A
  1. Sternoclavicular joint
  2. acromioclavicular joint
  3. glenohumeral (shoulder) joint

  2. Lat. dorsi
  3. Teres Major
  4. Subscapularis
25
Q
