55 abd
30 hor add
slight ER

22
Q

What are the boundaries of the quadrilateral space?

A

i. Teres major
ii. Teres minor
iii. Long head of triceps
iv. Surgical neck of humerus

23
Q

What are the contents of the quadrilateral space?

A

i. The axillary nerve

ii. Posterior circumflex humeral artery

24
Q

What three motions will close the quadrilateral space?

A

Extension, abduction, ER closes space

25
Q

The rotator cuff interval lies between what tendons?

A

lies between the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons

26
Q

The rotator cuff interval is reinforced by what ligaments?

A

Reinforced by superior glenohumeral and coracohumeral ligaments

27
Q

Adhesions in The rotator cuff interval causes the humeral head to sit in which direction?

A

Anteriorly

28
Q

The biceps pulley is a Tendoligamentous sling formed by what 3 aspects?

A

i. Superior glenohumeral ligament
ii. Coracohumeral ligament
iii. Distal attachment of the subscapularis tendon

29
Q

What stabilizes the long head of the biceps in the bicipital groove (tearing can lead to instability)?

A

The biceps pulley

30
Q

Because the GH has (1) a great degree of movement, (2) has little bony congruency, and (3) has poor elasticity of capsule, what provides rapid stability in response to external perturbation?

A

Rotator cuff

31
Q

What 3 muscles upwardly rotates the scapula?

A

Upper Trap, Lower Trap, Serratus Anterior

32
Q

What muscles posteriorly tips the scapula?

A

serratus anterior

33
Q

When the shoulder abd, the contralateral thoracic spine will move into what position during phase 3 of abduction (120-180)

A

lateral flexion

34
Q

Phase 1 of shoulder of abd (0-60 deg) uses these muscles mostly?

A

Deltoid & supraspinatus

35
Q

Because of the Locking” at 90 deg from greater tuberosity impacting superior margin of glenoid, what motions occur?

A

lateral rotation and flexion of the humerus to delay lock

36
Q

Phase 2 of shoulder abduction (60-120) uses these muscles mostly?

A

Trapezius (upper – upward rotation, lower - posterior tilting) and serratus anterior

37
Q

What muscles will check phase 2 (60-120) of shoulder abduction?

A

Checked by latissimus dorsi and inferior pec major

38
Q

Phase 3 of shoulder abduction (120-180) uses these muscles mostly?

A

Deltoid, supraspinatus, inferior trapezius, serratus anterior elevate UE

39
Q

Phase 1 of shoulder flexion (0-50) uses what muscles?

A

Anterior deltoid, coracobrachialis, and superior clavicular fibers of the pec major initiate shoulder flexion

40
Q

Phase 1 of shoulder flexion (0-50) is checked by what tension from what muscles?

A

teres major and minor, infraspinatus, and coracohumeral ligament

41
Q

Phase 2 of shoulder flexion (60-120) uses what muscles?

A

Trapezius and serratus anterior

42
Q

Phase 2 of shoulder flexion (60-120) is checked by what tension from what muscles?

43
Q

During phase 2 of shoulder flexion (60-120), the scapular rotates to 60 to do what?

A

orient glenoid superior & anterior

44
Q

Phase 3 of shoulder flexion (120-180) uses what muscles?

A

Deltoid, supraspinatus, inferior trapezius, serratus anterior elevate UE
