119
Q

How many principles of the Scapulohumeral rhythm are there

A

6

120
Q

What is principle 1

A

2:1 Scapulohumeral rhythm. Active abduction of 180 degrees occurs as a result of simultaneous 120 degrees of glenohumeral abduction and 60 degrees of scapulothoracic upward rotation.
For every 2 degrees of GH movement there is 1 degree of scapular rotation. Ratio is 2:1

121
Q

What is principle 2

A

60 degrees of scapulothoracic upward rotation –> simultaneous motion at the sc and ac joints
Sc elevation
Ac upward rotation

122
Q

The clavicle retracts at the sc during full abduction.

Clavicular retraction assists ac to position the scapula optimally.

123
Q

125
Q

5
