Specific Joint Info Flashcards
Approximately how much flexion and abduction must occur at the shoulder complex for most function activities to occur?
120 degrees of motion
What is the classification of the GH joint?
Structure - synovial
function - diarthrotic
subtype - ball and socket
axis - multiaxial
What are the osteokinematic motions that occur at the GH joint?
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation, horizontal adduction and horizontal abduction
How much flexion should occur at the GH joint?
180 degrees
How much extension should occur at the GH jt?
45 degrees
How much abduction should occur at the GH jt?
180 degrees
How much adduction should occur at the GH jt?
45 degrees
How much medial rotation should happen at the GH jt?
70 degrees
How much lateral rotation should occur at the GH jt?
90 degrees
How much horizontal adduction should occur at the GH jt?
45 degrees
How much horizontal abduction should occur at the GH jt?
100 degrees
Which surface is concave and which is convex with the GH jt?
glenoid fossa = concave
humeral head = convex
What ligaments are around the GH jt and what do they do?
- glenohumeral ligament - superior, middle and inferior; three weak bands of fibrous tissue that strengthen the front of the capsule
- coracohumeral ligament - strengthens the capsule above and stretches from the root of the coracoid process to the greater tuberosity of the humerus
- transverse humeral ligament - strengthens the capsule and bridges the gap between the two tuberosities.
Name the GH bursae.
- subscapular
- subdeltoid
- subacromial
- subcoracoid
What innervates the GH jt?
- suprascapular n.
- axillary n.
- lateral pectoral n.
List the blood supply for the GH jt.
branches of axillary and subclavian artery. (anterior and posterior circumflex and suprascapular)
Which the most common direction for dislocations at the GH jt?
anterior
What is adhesive capsulitis?
a type of frozen shoulder. occurs in females more than men
What is the resting position of the GH jt?
55-70 ABD, 30 Horizontal ADD, neutral rotation
What is the closed pack position of the GH jt?
full elevation - max combined ABD and ext. rotation
What is the capsular pattern for the GH jt?
ext. rot > ABD > int. rot (lateral rotation more limited than abduction, which is more limited than medial rotation)
Inferior glide of the GH increases what?
ABD
