Q

What motion does the coracoclavicular (trapezoid & conoid) ligament limit?

A
  • limits upward scapula rotation
  • transfers medially directed forces from glenoid (prevents medial displacement)
  • prevents medial scapula displacement
  • produces longitudinal clavicle rotation during upper extremity elevation

Q

When is shoulder abduction mostly related to sternoclavicular joint & acromioclavicular joint?

A
  • Sternoclavicular joint is responsible for the majority of motion up to 90 degrees abduction
  • Acromioclavicular joint is responsible for the majority of motion past 90 degrees abduction
17
Q

How much does the clavicle retract during full abduction?

A
  • 15 degrees beyond resting position
18
Q

What happens to the scapula when it goes through full abduction?

A
  • medial border & inferior angle goes inward
  • lateral border externally rotates away from the ribcage
19
Q

What ligament is the primary contributor to clavicular rotation?

A
  • coracoclavicular ligament
20
Q

Normal ROM value for clavicular rotation

A

20-25 degrees posteriorly

21
Q

Why is humeral external rotation important?

A
  • to get the tubercle out of the way to have enough space to complete the motion, same thing happens during shoulder flexion
22
Q

How much shoulder flexion & extension occur during gait?

A

Flexion: 25 degrees
Extension: 10 degrees

23
Q

A
  • lower trapezius
  • latissimus dorsi
