Shoulder girdle Arthrology Flashcards
What is the only true attachment to the skeleton from the shoulder girdle complex?
The Sternoclavicular Joint
Name shoulder girdle joints
AC joint, Scapulothoracic joint, glenohumeral joint, subacromial space, sternoclavicular joint.
Of all the 5 shoulder girdle joints which is not a synovial joint ?
Scapulothoracic joint
Where does the second rib attach to?
The sternal angle
Where does the 1st rib attach to?
The Manubrium, along with the clavicle.
What does the SC (sternoclavicular joint) composed of?
Manubrium (top part of sternum) & the clavicle.
Name the SC (sternoclavicular) joint ligaments.
Sternoclavicular lig, costoclavicular lig, & interclavicular lig
What is the ligament that is a “bridge” goes along the top rim of the manubrium ?
interclavicular lig
What ligament attaches from 1st rib to clavicle?
Costoclavicular lig
What does the costoclavicular ligament do?
it restricts SUP translation of the clavicle. also limits retraction
What does the sternoclavicular lig do ?
provides stability to entire SC Joint
What does the linterclavicular ligament integrate into
the facia of the neck
What kind of joint is the SC joint?
Sellar joint
What kind of motion does the SC joint do?
gliding and rotation motion
What divides the SC joint into two?
An Articular disc
What kind of joint is the AC (acromioclavicular joint)
Planar (gliding joint)
What are the ligaments of the AC joint?
Acromiclavicular lig & (2) Coracoclavicular lig’s (Conid & trapezoid lig)
which part of the clavicle has an articular disc medial or lateral?
Both do.
Where is the lateral articular disc of the clavicle located?
The acromioclavicular lig.
Where are the (2) Coracoclavicular lig’s in relation to the AC lig?
Medial (on the coracoid)
What motions do we get at the AC joint?
Gliding and rotation.
What ligament(s) is/are important in providing stability to the AC joint to decrease mobility of the AC joint.
The Coracoclavicular lig (both) trapezoid and conoid
What motion/translation happens during Protraction/retraction of scapula?
A-P glides of clavicle ( at AC joint)
What motion/translation of clavicle happens during ABD/ADD of UE?
Rotation of clavicle (try it)
What type of joint is the GH (glenohumoral) Joint?
Synovial
What type of stabilizers does the GH have?
Dynamic & Static
What joint has the largest ROM in the body?
GH (glenohumeral) shoulder joint.
Why does the GH joint have GREAT ROM?
1) shallow joint 2) extensive joint capsule 3) limited ligamentous support
Name the morphology of the clavicle ?
CONVEX: SUP to INF
CONCAVE: ANT to SUP
Name morphology of manubrium?
CONCAVE: SUP to INF
CONVEX: ANT to POST
What roll and glide happen with protraction of shoulder at SC joint?
ANT ROLL & glide of clavicle
What roll and glide happen with retraction of shoulder at SC joint?
POST ROLL & glide of clavicle
What roll and glide happen with elevation of shoulder at SC joint?
SUP roll and INF glide of clavicle.
What roll and glide happen with depression of shoulder at SC joint?
INF roll and SUP glide of clavicle.
What kind of joint is the Scapulothoracic joint?
Pseudo Joint
What muscles are involved with the Scapulothoracic joint?
Subscapularis and serratus ant
What ligament attaches to the Scapulothoracic joint?
none, there is no direct ligament attachment
What does Scapulohumeral rhythm consist of ? (joints)
movement of GH, ST, AC & SC joints
What purpose does Scapulohumeral rhythm serve?
1) greater shoulder ROM
2) optimal contact between humeral head and the glenoid fossa
3) Assists in optimal length-tension relationship between glenohumeral muscles.
Where might scapular upward rotation be greater?
on non-dominate side
Where does the last 10-30 deg of full BL shoulder ROM come from?
the T spine
With UL shoulder ROM where does the last 10-30 deg of ROM come from?
thoracic rotation or side bending
