Shoulder Joint Flashcards
function of shoulder
position the UE (hand) for function
shoulder is more dependent on ________ than on ________ for integrity
muscle;
joint structures;
mobility to permit UE function but at a cost
most likely joint of UE to dislocate
scapulothoracic joint is not a true anatomical joint because
there is no fibrous union
no capsule
it is still considered a joint tho
supra-acromial
coracoacromial arch & the head of the humerus
movement of the Scapulothroacic joint is associated with movement of ______ & ________
Acromioclavicular & sternoclavicular
common lever of the shoulder
clavicle
scapulothoracic joint
- is not a true anatomical joint
- associated with acromioclavicular & sternoclavicular
common link of the scapothoracic joint
clavicle
functions of the scapulothoracic joint
- maintain optimal position of glenoid fossa
- incr functional ROM of upper extremity
- provides a stable base for upper extremity function
scapulothoracic joint primary motions
elevation/depression – translatory
(this is an up & down motion – i.e. shrug shoulders)
abduction/adduction (protraction/retraction) – translatory
upward/downward mobility – rotary
scapulothoracic joint secondary motions
tipping & winging
winging (scapulothoracic secondary motion)
rotation about vertical axis (vertebral axis comes away)
caused by weak serratus anterior
tipping (scapulothoracic secondary motion)
rotation about medial-lateral axis
scapulothoracic joint – function of secondary motion
maintain proximity of scapula on thorax
stabilization of scapulothoracic joint
muscles & atmospheric pressure
when you have _____ movement there will be _____ movement
scapula;
clavical
and vice versa
structural attachment between the axial & appendicular skeleton
sternoclavicular joint
anterior & posterior sternoclavicular ligaments check:
anterior & posterior motion of clavicle
costoclavicular ligament
primary stabilizer
- site of AOR for elevation/depression & protraction/retraction
- checks elevation & superior glide of clavicle
- movement is limited upward
interclavicular ligament checks
checks depression & downward glide
sternoclavicular elevation ROM
45 deg
sternoclavicular depression ROM
15 deg
sternoclavicular protraction ROM
15 deg
sternoclavicular retraction ROM
15 deg
rotation ROM
30 - 45 deg
arthrokinematics sternoclavicular joint
rotation posteriorly
sternoclavicular joint disk
- increases joint surface congruency
- acts as a hinge/pivot point
- absorbs forces from appendicular skeleton (extremities)
depending on the motion the sternoclavicular joint disk will be stuck on either the ______ or _______
manubrium;
clavicle
then the bone without the disk will move on that
acromioclavicular joint is _____ lateral clavicle on _____ acromion
convex;
concave
acromioclavicular joint allows for increased
increased scapular motion
acromioclavicular joint allows for adjustment of the
scapula outside of the initial planes of motion
acromioclavicular joint transmits:
forces from the scapula to the clavicle
acromioclavicular joint anatomy
fibrocartilage disk that degenerates with time
weak capsule
superior & inferior acromioclavicular ligaments
- check horizontal movements
- relatively weak
coracoclavicular ligaments - medial
conoid
coracoclavicular ligament - lateral
trapezoid
coracoclavicular ligament checks
primarily superior dislocation of the clavicle * important
coracoclavicular ligament
limits & assists scapula movement
acromioclavicular joint
susceptible to trauma (dislocation) & degenerative changes
acromioclavicular separation
tearing of the coracoclavicular ligament
–> this lets the clavicle go up and then the Acromioclavicular ligament tears
labrum
(at glenohumeral)
- redundant fold of dense fibrous connective tissue continuous with capsule
- increase joint congruency
capsule of glenhumeral joint
- taut superiorly
- loose anteriorly < inferiorly
- risk of dislocation: anterior > inferior > posterior > superior
greatest risk of dislocation (GH joint capsule)
anterior capsule of glenohumeral joint
least risk of dislocation (GH joint capsule)
superior capsule of GH joint
GH joint ligaments
thickening of anterior capsule
3 ligaments – superior, middle, inferior
