Q

What is the coracoclavicular space? What is the average measurement? Which two ligaments maintain this distance?

Q

Which movement of the scapula and movement of the clavicle are linked due to the structure of the conoid ligament?

A

The conoid connects the clavicle to the acromion process and forces the clavicle to upwardly rotate allowing for full abduction of the upper limb.

Q

Which tendon attaches to the supraglenoid tubercle and the superior aspect of the labrum. What might be a possible negative consequence of this?

A

The long head of the biceps brachii. A negative consequence of this is that when the long head of biceps brachii becomes taught (usually when falling on an abducted arm) it can cause a tear or lesion of the superior labrum.

47
Q

What is the abnormal pattern of scapular movement that occurs due to weakness in serratus anterior

Long thoracic nerve arises from the C5, 6 & 7 ventral rami and running inferiorly. Where are you most likely able to see this nerve and which muscle does it innervate?

A

The nerve is most likely to be seen on the lateral surface of the serratus anterior muscle and it innervates the serratus anterior muscle

66
Q

Identify this and state where it arises from. What does int innerviate

A

It innervates the Supraspinatus and infraspinatus
