59
Q

60
Q

A

TUBS Non-surgical Management

61
Q

Avulsion of the anteroinferior glenohumeral ligament-labral complex from the anterior glenoid rim and scapular neck.

A

Bankart Lesion

62
Q

The subscapularis insertion on the humeral head is detached to expose the glenohumeral ligaments. Glenohumeral ligaments are tightened. The labrum is reattached to the anterior glenoid with suture anchors. The capsule is tightened as subscapularis is reattached.

A

TUBS Surgical Procedure

63
Q

The subscapularis does not become detached instead the subscapularis is tagged and held back by a suture. This is done mostly with overhead athletes.

A

Bankart Procedure

Scapular Stabilizers

68
Q

Protectors

A

Rotator Cuff

69
Q

Positioners

A

Deltoids, Latissimus Dorsi, Pectoralis Major, Pectoralis Minor

70
Q

During glenohumeral movements with at least 90 degrees elevation, the scapular stabilizers must be strong enough to position the scapula correctly. Weak, scapulohumeral rhythm can be disrupted, causing impingement or other problems.

A

Pivoters Scapular Stabilizers

71
Q

Serratus anterior, rhomboids, middle and lower trapezius. Serratus anterior and lower traps form important force couple that produces acromial elevation. Movement will be abnormal if the force couple is not working properly.

A

Lower Scapular Stabilizers

72
Q

Tendinous band formed. Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Subscapularis.

A

Protectors Rotator Cuff

73
Q

Help keep the head of the humerus rotating against the glenoid fossa during joint motion. Compress and center the humeral head within the glenoid. Provide a counterforce to humeral head superior translation due to deltoid contraction.

A

Rotator Cuff

74
Q

Faulty kinematics and muscle activation. Increased superior humeral head translation. Subsequent decrease is subacromial space which can lead to impingement.

A

Rotator Cuff Weakness

75
Q

At 0 degrees abduction, IR assistance is given by pectoralis major, latissimus doors, and teres major. Less pectoralis major activity at 90 degrees abduction.

A

Subscapularis Exercises

76
Q

Deltoids, Pectoralis Minor, Pectoralis Major, Latissimus Dorsi, Teres Major

A

Positioners

77
Q

Provide dynamic stability within the scapular plane. Mid and post heads provide more stability by generating more compressive forces. During anterior shoulder instability, strengthen mid and post heads.
