under the acromion - if you can’t rotate acromion out of the way then your greater tuberosity bangs on the acromion and squishes anything in that space

87
Q

At rest, the humeral head is suspended by?

A

ligaments (superior GH, coracohumeral) and negative intra-articular pressure

88
Q

What happens when you have head forward posture?

A

hyper fires the traps - they become tight and overactive

89
Q

What happens to scapula if you have tight levator scapulae?

it becomes difficult for scapula to upwardly rotate

90
Q

the primary function of the rotator cuff muscles are that they are _____ ______

A

compressive stabilizers

91
Q

How does biceps stabilize the shoulder?

A

compresses the humeral head

92
Q

How does the deltoid function as a dynamic stabilizer?

A
  • In initial elevation it shears the head of the humerus superiorly
  • as elevation proceeds, deltoid compresses

Q

What muscles are working during crutch walking while you pull your GH joint from a flexed position to extended?

A

At the GH joint, extension and slight adduction are
occurring. Big muscles for this are Latissimus Dorsi, Teres Major, triceps (holding arm at elbow in extension), wrist co-contraction to create stability, rhomboids and lower scapula will depress scapula, need strong rotator cuff muscles that will hold humerus in glenoid cavity.

Raising:

  • -> GH is extended and abduct
  • -> serratus anterior holds scapula in retraction

Lowering:

A

Depression of scapula
Upward rotation of scapula - cause your downward rotators are tight

Go find which joints would have limited ROM and which muscles would be tight and weak?

115
Q
