Shoulder lecture Flashcards
What muscles are considered the primary stabilisers of the Scapula
Serratus Anterior
Lower traps
In what GH movements does the glenohumeral ligament complex twist and tighten
Abduction
ER
What movement does the rotator cuff act to have during arm elevation to prevent humeral head impact on joint
Compression and inferior translation
What muscles provide anterior stability to the GH joint
Subscapularis
What muscle provides posterior stability to the GH joint
Infraspinatus and teres minor
Pain on elevation between 45 and 120-130 degrees is indicative of what?
GH/ rotator cuff related pathology
Pain at distal end of elevation ROM is indicative of what?
AC related pathology
List common pathologies associated with shoulder pain (6)
- rotator cuff related pathology
- GH instability
- Biceps-related pathology
- GIRD
- Scap related
- AC related
What can likely cause impingement (6)
- Rotator cuff related
- Scapula dyskinesis
- Shoulder instability

How is impingement categorised ?
Subacromial/External
Internal (posterior)
How is subacromial/external further categorised ?
Primary
secondary
What is primary impingement
reduced size of space - osteophytes, shape etc.
What is secondary impingement
caused by instability, associated with muscles, inadequate upward rotation of scap
List common nerve entrapments with TOS
- Suprascapular
- Long Thoracic
- Axillary
What muscle does the empty can (jobe) test assess?
Supraspinatus
