shoulder Flashcards
Which portion of GHJ capsule is redundant for increased mobility
inferior capsule
What motion is limited by superior GHJ ligament
inferior translation with arm adducted
What motions are limited by middle GH ligament
anterior translation in mid range abd
and ER in adduction
What vertebral level does the scapula sit at
T2-T7
What plane does the scapula sit in (rotation and tilt)
upward rotation of 10-20*
anterior tilt of 10-20*
What is the concavity of the clavicle
concave AP
convex superior/lateral
Which ligament provides the most support for the SC joint?
posterior sternoclavicular ligament
What does the conoid portion of the coracoclavicular ligament resist
clavicle elevation and protraction
what is primary function of trapezoid portion of coracoclavicular ligament
compress AC joint
How much does pressure on coracoacromial arch increase with poor functioning rotator cuff?
60%
what force couple elevates humerous
deltoid/rotator cuff
what is role of supraspinatus in deltoid/rotator cuff force couple?
provide GHJ compression to offset vertical pull of deltoid
What functions are provided by UT/SA force couple (4)
allow for upward rotation of scapula
maintain force tension relationship of deltoid
prevents SAI
provide stable base for scapular muscles
What muscles are primary components of upward rotation at 90+ degrees elevation
LT and SA
What causes LT to have greater influence on upward rotation/stability at increasing degrees of elevation?
longer lever arm
What condition is most likely seen with an anterior tilted scapula
SAI
What condition may have medial scapular border dysfunction as a s/s?
GHJ instability
What condition may lead to elevated scapula?
RC weakness or other force couple imbalance
How will the humeral head sit with IR ROM loss?
increased anterior translation
Tightness where may lead to IR ROM loss at GHJ?
posterior capsule
In 90/90 position, where will humeral head shift with tight posterior capsule?
posterior/superior
What should the ratio of anterior to posterior translation at GHJ be?
1:1
What can be done with subulxation/relocation testing to further evaluate if negative at end range ER and 90*?
Increase abd to 110 or 120
Where is most common location for GH labrum tear?
anterior-superior (60%)
Where is second most common location for GH labrum tear
posterior-superior (18%)
Is arthroscopic labral debridement effective long term
no, many patients have pain return due to underlying instability
