Test 2- Part 3: The Shoulder Flashcards
Resists excessive depression or downward glide of the clavicle
Interclavicular joint
Resists clavicular elevation and superior glide of the clavicle
Costoclavicular
Resists anterior movement of the head of the clavicle
Anterior Sternoclavicular
Resists posterior movement of the head of the clavicle
Posterior Sternoclavicular
Most important ligament in stabilizing AC joint for normal daily activities
Acromioclavicular
The most important ligament for support of the joint against significant
injuries and superior displacement
Coracoclavicular
Roll, glide, & pivot
GH Joint
Stabilize the shoulder in adduction
• Helps to prevent posterior and inferior instability
Superior GH Ligament
Limits external rotation at 45 deg of abduction
• Helps to prevent posterior and inferior instability
Middle GH ligament
Primary restraint to anterior and anteroinferior instability
• Limits external rotation at 45 to 90 deg of abduction
Inferior GH ligament
• Posterior capsule and the teres minor restrain internal rotation
Posterior GH ligament
Origin of the trapezius upper fibers
External occipital protuberance (muscle in back of neck) ,medial portion of superior nuchal line, (mustache coming off of skull) ligamentum nuchae and spinous process C1-C6 (dinosaur spikes)
Insertion of the trapezius upper fibers
Lateral 1/3 of the clavicle (end of clavicle)
Action of trapezius upper fibers
- Laterally flex the head and neck to same side
- Rotate the head and neck to opposite side
- Elevate the scapula
- Upwardly rotate the scapula
Origin of trapezius middle fibers
Spinous processes of C7-T3 (
Insertion
Acromion process and
superior scapular spine
Action of trapezius middle fibers
Adduct the scapula (squeezing shoulder blades)
Stabilize the scapula (main role)
Origin of trapezius lower fibers
Spinous porcesses of T4-12
