The glenohumeral joint Flashcards

1
Q

The glenohumeral joint - Type? Degrees of freedom? Art? Features? Ligaments?

A
  • ART - head of humerous and glenoid fossa
  • Synovial ball and socket
  • 3 degrees of freedom
  • Hyaline cartilage (on both articulating surfaces)
  • Lambrum (collagen)
  • GHJ capsule
  • Subacromial bursa
  • Superior / Middle / Inferior glenohumeral ligaments [Reinforcing the anterior glenohumeral joint capsule]
  • Transverse humeral ligament - holds long head of biceps tendon in the groove
  • Coracoidacromial ligament - resisits superior translation of the head of the humerous [provides superior stability]
  • Coracohumeral ligament

Trans eating hummus who then places 2 x bets in Coral

  • Rotator cuff tendons (very important for dynamic stabilty)

Q

Surface mark glenohumeral joint line?

A

Model in high sitting, identify coracoid process, move finger just laterally, joint line is represented by a line approx. 3cm long which runs downwards from this point

Notes: Acromion -> the lateral aspect of clavicle –> Just inferior is the subacromial bursa –> Rotator cuff tendns/ muscle attachment

Consists of:
 -Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Subscapularis
- Teres minor
(assisted by long head of biceps)

Q

What is Scapulo-humeral Rhythm [SHR]?

Scapulohumeral rythm, abdormal rhythm?

A

2:1, humerous moves more than scapular ie 2 = Glenohumeral joint, 1 = scapulothoraccic area

As the HOH is moving in to flexion / abduction… it is rotating, the HOH and glenoid fossa always want to remain centralised.. therefore the scapula also has to move synergistically to assist with this movement of the humerus..

0-30 degrees of abduction, the supraspinatus initiates then deltoid becomes prime mover (deltoid pulls humerus up and supraspinatus pulls it horizontally) => abduction

Abnormal:

Shoulder ‘hitch’ and compensation from Tx spine

Ineffective rotator cuff so compensation with deltoid
Lack of scapula rotation

Scapulohumeral rhythm serves two purposes:

It preserves the length-tension relationships of the glenohumeral muscles. Muscles do not shorten as much as they would without the scapula's upward rotation, and so can sustain their force production through a larger portion of the range of motion.
It prevents impingement between the humerus and the acromion. Subacromial impingement can occur unless relative movement between the humerus and scapula is limited because of the difference in size between the glenoid fossa and the humeral head. Simultaneous movement of the humerus and scapula during shoulder elevation limits relative (arthrokinematic) movement between the two bones

Q

Scapulo-humeral rhythm:

Observe your model – can you identify the relationship between movement of the GHJ and the Scapula? What is this relationship i.e. what ratio of movement occurs at the GHJ compared to shoulder girdle?

A

Ratio of 1:2 , ie 1 = scapular, 2 = humerous

Ie in flexion, total = 180 degrees
60 = scap
120 = humerous

Ie more movement occuring at the humerus

forward flexion (ant. fibres)

, abduction and extension

23

Small triangluar?

Lateral rotator (sits on top of teres minor / infra more superfical than teres)

“make a fist, don’t let me turn your arm in”

25
Teres minor ➢ suggest their functional contribution to movement, ➢ put them into action into action and identify their contraction ➢ test them for strength [ isometric and dynamic testing ]
Lateral rotator so resist lat rotation (sits deeper to the infraspinatous but same place) Palpate the infraspinatous fossa?? "make a fist.. dont let me turn your arm in"
26
Subscapularis ➢ suggest their functional contribution to movement, ➢ put them into action into action and identify their contraction ➢ test them for strength [ isometric and dynamic testing ]
Large triangluar Medial rotator - so resist med rotation Because pec major will be dominant can be good to do with pt's hand behind their back, to put it at a bio mech disadvantage
27
Supraspinatus ➢ suggest their functional contribution to movement, ➢ put them into action into action and identify their contraction ➢ test them for strength [ isometric and dynamic testing ]
Abduction so resist abduction palpate the spine of the scap and then up a bit
