shoulder anatomy Flashcards
what are the movements at the SCJ and how are they defined?
- elevation/depression
- protraction/retraction
- posterior rotation
defined by movement at the distal clavicle
describe SC elevation/depression
convex on concave limited by the CC ligament
describe SC depression
convex on concave limited by the interclavicular ligametn
describe SC retraction
concave on convex limited by CC ligament and anterior capsule
describe SC protraction
concave on convex limited mostly by the posterior capsule
describe axial movment of the clavicle
during abd/flx around 90/100, the clavicle spins posteriorly 20-35
what does the coracoclavicular ligament do? what are the two parts
suspends the scapula from the clavicle
how is motion described at the scapula? what are the motions?
by motion occuring at the distal clavicle; up and down rotation primarily, but also IR/ER and AP tilting
what are the physiologic motions associated with scapular upward and downward rotation?
upward: flexion and abduction
downward: extension and adduction
what are the muscles that make up the scapulothoracic joint?
subscap, serratus anterior, ES
what is the average resting position of the scapula in all three planes?
anterior tilt, IR, upward rotation
what two component motions are necessary for scapular elevation?
SC elevation, AC down rotation
what two component motions are associated with scapular protraction?
SC protraction and AC IR
scapulothoracic upward rotation is made of which component motions?
SC elevation and AC up rotation
what are the approximate orientations of the GHJ components
scapular plane: approx 30
physiologic GH head retroversion: 30
clavicle posteriorly oriented : 20
what are the capsular ligaments of the GHJ and what motions do they resist
superior: adduction
middle: ER
inferior: inferior and A/P translations
what is most unique about the inferior GHL?
it is a cradle-like pouch composed an anterior band, posterior band, and axillary pouch
