Shoulder Flashcards
Shoulder Complex Components
-Sternoclavicular joint
-Acromioclavicular joint
-Glenohumerual joint (2/3rds of movement)
-Scapulothoracic joint (1/3rds of movement)
Normal ROM
0-180
Sternoclavicular Joint Structure
-only attachment between axial and shoulder
-degeneration uncommon
-elevation/depression, protraction/retraction, anterior/posterior rotation
2 plane synovial joints
-Superior: medial clav and disc
-Inferior: medical clav and manubrium
Shoulder Elevation Joint Movements
-48 degrees
SC: rolls superiorly; slides inferiorly on sternum
AC: moves upward
ST: elevation
GH: slides inferiorly and rolls superiorly (during arm flexion)
Sternoclavicular Joint Capsule and Ligaments
Anterior SCL: limit A/P translation
Posterior SCL: main limiter of A/P translation
Costoclavicular Lig: limit elevation of lat clav and SCM
Interclavicular Lig: resist depression of clav; superior glide on manubrium; protects brachial plexus
Shoulder Despression Joint Movements
-15 degrees
SC: rolls inferiorly; slides superiorly on sternum
AC: moves downward
ST: depression
Shoulder Protraction Joint Movements
-15-20 degrees
SC: rolls and slides anteriorly on sternum
AC: rolls and slides anteriorly
ST: protraction/abduction
Shoulder Retraction Joint Movements
-30 degrees
SC: rolls and slides posteriorly on sternum
AC: moves posteriorly
ST: retraction/adduction
Shoulder Posterior Rotation Joint Movements
-50 degrees
SC: inferior faces anteriorly
AC: n/a
Shoulder Anterior rotation Joint Movements
-10 degrees
SC: returns to neutral
AC: n/a
ST: anterior tilt
Acromioclavicular Joint Structure
-scapula to clavicle
-plane joint
-positions glenoid beneath humerus
-not stable
-maximizes scap contact with thorax
Acromioclavicular Capsule and Ligaments
-weak capsule; reinforced by delts and traps
Superior ACL: reisist opposing forces
Inferior ACL: not as strong
Coracoclavicular Lig: unites clavicle and scapula; couple pos clavical rotation during scapular UR
-Conoid: medial; inferior forces
-Trapezoid: lateral; posterior translation
Scapulothoaracic Joint Structure
-not a true joint
-depends on integrtiy SC and AC
Rest:
-2 inches from midline
-IR 35-45
-anterior tilt 10-15
-UR 5-10
Glenohumeral Joint Structure
-ball in socket
-3 rotary and 3 translatory
-humeral head faces medially, superiorly, posteriorly
-angle of inclination 130-150
-angle of torsion 30 post
Glenohumeral Joint Capsule and Ligaments
Capsule:
-tightens with abd and ER
-2.5cm of distraction
-vulnurable to ant dislocations
Superior GH Lig:
-forms RC
-reisist ant and inf translations at 0 abd
Middle GH Lig: prevents any movement from 0-60 abd
Inferior GH Lig Complex:
-Anterior: ant/inf translation
-Posterior: post/inf translation
-Axillary Pounch: prevents inf translation
Coracohumeral Lig: 2 bands form tunnel for LHB
-1st band: coracoid to supraspinatus tendon
-2nd band: coracoid to subscap tendon
