Concave anterior/posterior
Describe SC elevation.
Is clavicle concave or convex?
What plane? Axis?
Rolls? Glides?
Maximum degree of movement?

Parallel to horizontal plane around a vertical axis
Rolls and glides anterior on sternum
15-30 degrees of movement
Describe SC retraction.
Movement in which plane? Around which axis?
Rolls and glides?
Maximum degree of movement?
Parallel to horizontal plane around vertical axis
Concave clavicle rolls and glides posterior on sternum
15-30 degrees of movement
Describe SC rotation.
Which axis?
How does the clavicle rotate with arm elevation?
Degrees of movement?
Longitudinal axis
Superior clavicle rotates posteriorly and puts tension on coracoclavicular ligament
20-30 degrees
What are the stabilizing structures of the sc joint?
Articular disc
Capsule
Sternoclav. ligament
Interclav. ligament
Costoclav. ligament
Muscles
What do the anterior/posterior sternoclavicular ligaments do?
Reinforce capsule
Limits A/P movements of clavicle (pro/retract)
Describe the interclavicular ligaments.
Where do they cross?
Where do they attach?
What do they do?
Superior SC joint
Attach to medial end of clavicle
Provide superior joint stability, controls depression
Where do the costoclavicular ligaments attach and what do they do?
Attach to first rib to inferior surface of clavicle
Controls elevation of clavicle on first rib
What is the articular disc? What does it do?
Fibrocartilage that divides joint into M/L cavities
Shock absorber, inc. joint congruency, stability

Sternocleidomastoid
Sternothyroid
Sternohyoid

What is moving at the AC joint?
Scapula moving on clavicle
Describe AC upward rotation.
Acromion moves up and out, upward rotation of scapula up to 30 degrees
Describe AC downward rotation.
Which plane and axis?
Where does the arm move?
Frontal plane, sagittal axis
Elevated arm down to rest (180-90), acromion moves down and in
Describe AC IR/ER.
Which plane and axis? Where does scap move?
Transverse plane, vertical axis
Medial border of scap closer or further from thorax
Describe AC sagittal plane movement - a/p tilting

What are the parts?
What is the role?
When dislocated, where does the clavicle go?
Clavicle to coracoid process of scapula
Trapezoid (lateral), conoid (medial)
CONTROL VERTICAL JOINT STABILITY, upward rotation, medial displacement of clavicle, create longitudinal rotation of clavicle
Elevated clavicle
What are the muscles for the AC joints?
Upper trapezius, deltoid
