Shoulder Girdle Flashcards
what is the concept of dynamic stability? (mobility and structure)
- greatest mobility of any joint
- not structurally very stable
what is the scapular resting position?
- 30 degree scaption plane
- 20 degree anterior tilt
describe the structure of the humeral head
30 degree retroversion in line with the scaption plane
describe the orientation of the scapula and clavicle
- 30-35 scaption plane
- 20 degree clavicle
what would be the result if our humerus didn’t have a 30 degree retroversion?
our curls would be IR 30 deg
which joint improves available shoulder ROM
STJ
which joint maintains favorable deltoid and RC muscle LT relationships?
STJ
which joint provides stability for overhead work and allows for UE shock absorption?
STJ
which joint permits elevation of the body with UE weight bearing
STJ
how are the scapular motions named?
for the glenoid movement
name and describe the disorder that the kid from stranger things has
Cleidocranial Dysplasia/Dysostosis - partially missing clavicle leads to excellent mobility and severely limited stability
what is the only joint that truly connects the UE with the thorax? describe the joint
SCJ - strong ligamentous structure causes the clavicle to fx before dislocation of the joint
How many degrees of freedom at the SCJ? what are the motions?
3 degrees of freedom
- elevation/depression
- protraction/retraction
- posterior rotation
what is the shape of the SCJ?
saddle
describe the SCJ arthokinematics of elevation/depression
- convex on concave - sup roll/inf glide
- convex on concave - inf roll/sup glide
describe the SCJ arthrokinematics of retraction
concave on convex - post roll/slide
