Shoulder arthrology - exam 3 Flashcards
describe sternoclavicular (SC) joint
clavicle on scapula
basilar joint of UE - links axial/appendicular skeleton
allows large ROM
irregular saddle shape
convex on concave
describe acromioclavicular (AC) joint
attaches scapula to clavicle
describe the scapulothoracic joint
not true joint
interface between bones
movements linked to movements at SC and AC
position of scapula provides base for GH joint
describe the glenohumeral (GH) joint
most distal and mobile portion of the whole complex
t/f
weakened, painful, or unstable link in the shoulder complex decreases the effectiveness of the entire UE
true
elevation of the shoulder has a (superior/inferior) slide
superior
depression of the shoulder has a (superior/inferior) slide
inferior
protraction of the shoulder results in what movement of the scapula in regards to medial border
medial border slides anterior/lateral
retraction of the shoulder results in what movement of the scapula in regards to medial border
medial border moves posterior/medial
upward rotation of shoulder results in what movement of the scapula in regards to inferior angle
inferior angle rotates
downward rotation of the shoulder results in what movement of the scapula in regards to the inferior angle
inferior angle moves in superior-lateral direction
downward rotation of the shoulder results in what movement of the glenoid fossa
glenoid fossa rotates inferior-medial direction
the longitudinal diameters of the sternoclavicular joint extend into what plane
frontal plane between superior/inferior points of articular surfaces
the transverse diameters of the sternoclavicular joint extends into what plane
horizontal plane between anterior/posterior points of articular surfaces
what are the periarticular tissues of the SC joint
anterior SC ligament
posterior SC ligament
interclavicle ligament
articular disc
SCM, sternothyroid, sternohyoid, subclavius muscles
how many degrees of freedom does the SC joint have
3 - sagittal, frontal, horizontal
what are the kinematic functions of the SC joint
elevates/depresses
protracts/retracts
rotates
what is the goal of the SC joint
place scapula in optimal position for head of humerus
clavicle rotates in all __ degrees of freedom with UE elevation
3
where is the axis of the SC joint
near anterior-posterior
how many degrees of elevation does the SC joint have
35-45
describe the arthrokinematics of clavicle elevation
convex surface rolls superiorly and slides inferiorly
what is the function of the CC ligament in the SC joint
stretches during clavicle elevation and limits motion
describe the arthrokinematics of clavicle depression
convex surface rolls inferiorly and slides superiorly
what is the function of the interclavicular ligament and superior portion of capsule
limits movement with clavicle depression
what plane does clavicular protraction/retraction occur
horizontal plane
where is the axis of motion for clavicular protraction/retraction
vertical
where does the arthrokinematics of scapular protraction/retraction occur
SC joint’s transverse diameter
describe the arthrokinematics of retraction at the SC joint
concave surface of clavicle rolls and slides posteriorly on convex surface of sternum
what is the function of the CC ligament and anterior capsule during clavicular retraction
stretches and resists excessive movement
describe the arthrokinematics of clavicular protraction
occurs in anterior direction
what is the function of CC ligament and posterior capsule during clavicular protraction
stretches to limit excessive movement
where is the axis during rotation of the clavicle
longitudinal
describe the arthrokinematics of rotation of the clavicle
spin of sternal end relative to lateral surface of the articular disc
t/f
axial rotation of the clavicle is linked with overall kinematics of flexion and abduction
true
where is the acromioclavicular joint located
lateral end of clavicle and acromion of scapula
what are the AC joint periarticular tissues
superior and inferior AC ligaments
coracoclavicular ligaments
trapezoid ligament and conoid ligament
describe the kinematics of the AC joint
motion between scapula and lateral clavicle
3 degrees of freedom
upward/downward rotation
