Shoulder-elbow kines - Sheet1 Flashcards
sc motion during arm elevation
predominantly rotation, then retraction then a little elevation, more retraction in abduction than flexion
acromioclavicular ligament
prevent separation of clavical and acromion
coracoclavicular ligaments
don’t cross joint; stabilize AC joint but doesn’t cross it; important for quadraped and upward rotation. Couples numeral elevation and scapular upward rotation, coracoid process moves down causing ligament to be taut, clavicle pulled into post rotation which allows further upward rotation of scapula
main AC joint motion during arm elevation
posterior tilt > upward rotation >internal rotation
scapular internal rotation with arm elevation
internal rotation increases then decreases especially with flexion
normal scapular postion at end range elevation
10-20 deg internal rotation; 10 deg post tilt; minimal elevation; acromion at C6-7; minimal abduction
subacromial space size
10mm arm at side; 5mm arm elevated
humeral retroversion
normal adult 30 deg; greater birth-4 years; adult values by age 19; increased retroversion in throwers
glenoid fossa orientation
lateral and 5 deg upward tilt
GH joint closed packed position
abduction and lateral rotation
superior glenohumeral ligament
taut in full adduction>lateral rotation with arm at side; limit anterior and inferior glide
middle glenohumeral ligament
limit external rotation and anterior translation from 0-60 deg abduction
inferior glenohumeral ligament
major contributor to joint stability; all fibers in tension >45 deg abduction to limit inferior glide; anterior band limits external rotation; posterior band limits internal rotation
coracohumeral ligament
from coracoid process to greater tubercle; taut with adduction/lateral rotation in both flexion and extension; restricts inferior displacement and posterior glide in flexion
rotator interval contents
superior GH ligament; CH ligament; long head of biceps tendon
posterior GH capsule
limits flexion/horizontal adduction/medial rotation
GH stability <90deg elevation
mostly from rotatator cuff muscles
GH flexion
120 deg
GH extension
55 deg
GH abduction
120 deg
GH horizontal adduction
45 deg
GH internal rotation
70 deg
GH external rotation
arm abducted 90 deg; arm at side 70 deg
position in which supraspinatus fibers have best mechanical advantage
scapular plane elevation
humeral motion in gleniod
less glide during active vs. passive movement
humeral spinning arthrokinematics
occurs with flexion and ER/IR when arm 90 deg abducted
