Shoulder Girdle

Question 1

Weightlifter’s Shoulder

Answer 1

distal clavicular osteolysis, is a painful inflammation at the end of the clavicle, at the acromioclavicular (AC) joint

• Breakdown/Resorption (Osyeolysis)

Question 2

Rotator Cuff Tear

Answer 2

most often in tendon
(possibly with avulsion)

• supraspinatus

Question 3

Shoulder girdle joints

Answer 3

Glenohumeral Joint
Scapulothoracic Joint
Rotator cuff

Question 4

Glenohumeral Joint contribute to

Answer 4

o	Deltoid
o	Pec major
o	Coracobrachialis (and biceps brachii)
o	Latissimus dorsi
o	Teres major
o	Rotator cuff

Question 5

Scapulothroacic Joint contribute to

Answer 5

o	Trapezius
o	Rhomboid major & minor
o	Levator scapula
o	Pec minor
o	Serratus anterior

Question 6

Rotator Cuff contribute to

Answer 6

o Subscapularis (anterior)
o Teres major
o Infraspinatus (posterior)
o Supraspinatus

Question 7

Scapula Stabilisation

Answer 7

Most muscles acting on humerus originate on the scapula – except pec major and latissimus dorsi

Question 8

Scapula Mobility

Answer 8

Scapulohumeral ‘rhythm’ – during abduction, 2/3 of ROM from shoulder joint, 1/3 from

• Abduction or forward flexion

Question 9

Shoulder impingement

Answer 9

Involves tendonitis (with or without inflammation)
of rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the
subacromial space (i.e. under acromion)

Question 10

Shoulder bursitis

Answer 10

The impingement process may also affect the subacromial bursa - fluid filled sac that cushions and reduces friction between tissues

Question 11

Rotator cuff tear

Answer 11

Most common in supraspinatus

Question 12

Weightlifter’s Shoulder

Answer 12

Weightlifter’s shoulder, or distal clavicular osteolysis, is a painful inflammation at the end of the clavicle, at the acromioclavicular (AC) joint
