Rhomboids
Scapular winging possible causes (3)
Muscle weakness - serratus anterior, trapezius, rhomboids
AC joint dysfunction (hyper\hypo mobility)
Kyphosis
Slouched posture (shortened pec minor)
Muscles responsible for Scapulothoracic joint elevation
Upper trapezius
Levator scapulae
Rhomboids (major and minor)
Muscles responsible for Scapulothoracic joint depression
Lower trapezius
Latissimus dorsi
Pectoralis minor
Subclavius
Muscles responsible for Scapulothoracic joint retraction
Rhomboids
Middle and lower traps
Muscles responsible for Scapulothoracic joint upward rotation
Upper and lower trap
Serratus anterior
Muscles responsible for Scapulothoracic joint protraction
Serratus anterior
Pec minor
Muscles responsible for Scapulothoracic joint downward rotation
Rhomboids
Pec minor
Levator scapulae
Head of humerus normal position?
30* retroverted
Normal clavicle position (degrees?)
20* posteriorly rotated
Normal scapular position? (Degrees)
35* anteriorly rotated
Superior transverse scapular ligament (nerve and artery?)
Suprascapular nerve passes under ligament (Suprascapular notch)
Suprascapular artery passes over ligament
Shoulder joint stability **incomplete
4* anteriorly rotated glenoid fossa?
Scapulothoracic stability
Resting position of scapula (3 planes + degrees of rotation?)
35-45* anteriorly? Or laterally? rotated (transverse plane)
10-20* inferiorly rotated? (Sagittal plane)
5-10* upward rotation (frontal plane)
Complications regarding the surgical neck of the humerus?
More likely to fracture and the axillary nerve passes through there - could also be a site of/for impingement?
Humerus angle of inclination? Torsion?
135*
30* retroverted - more retroversion = more external rotation (e.g. baseball pitcher)
Sternoclavicular joint type? Convex/concave surfaces?
Diarthrodial, double saddle
Longitudinal - clavicle is convex manubrium/sternal articulation is concave
Transverse is opposite - clavicle concave, sternal articulation is convex
Sternoclavicular planes of motion?
3
Elevation/depression (superior, inferior translation)
Protraction/retraction (anterior, posterior translation)
Anterior/posterior rotation
Depression of Sternoclavicular joint causes?
Brachial plexus (anterior and posterior divisions) and artery (superiorthoracic and axillary) compression
