shoulder girdle Flashcards
serves as a base of
functioning of upper extremity
The shoulder girdle compromises of two bones
scapula and clavicle
shoulder girdle consists of three joints
sternoclavicular joint
acromioclavicular joint
scapulo-thoracic joint
sternoclavicular joint is
sternum + medial end of clavicle
acromioclavicular joint is
acromion process of sternum + lateral end of clavicle
scapulo-thoracic joint is
scapula + posterior part of rib cage
lateral end of clavicle moves in what degrees with protraction
15 anteriorly degrees
lateral end of clavicle moves in what degrees with retraction
posteriorly 15 degrees
lateral end of clavicle moves in what degrees with elevation
superiorly 45 degrees
lateral end of clavicle moves in what degrees with depression
5 degrees inferiorly
acromioclavicular allows what motion in the scapula
gliding and rotational
what type of tilt occurs during shoulder hyper flexion in the AC joint
posterior tilt
what type of tilt occurs during shoulder hyper extension in the AC joint
anterior tilt
Lateral tilt or internal rotation occurs during
shoulder abduction
The lateral border of the scapula moves anteriorly and the medial border moves posteriorly
medial tilt or external rotation
occurs during shoulder adduction
medial border of the scapula moves anteriorly and lateral border moves posteriorly
