The Shoulder Flashcards
What 4 bones are involved in the shoulder joint?
- Humerus, Scapula, Clavicle, Sternum
What are the 3 joints of the shoulder?
- Glenohumeral joint
- Acromioclavicular joint
- Sternoclavicular joint
Sternoclavicular joint kinematics: Elevation?
Clavicle rolls upwards and simultaneously slides downwards into sternum (stretches the costoclavicular ligament)
Sternoclavicular joint kinematics: Depression?
Head of the clavicle rolls downwards and simultaneously slides upwards in the concavity of the sternum (stretches the interclavicular ligaments and superior part of the joint capsule)
Sternoclavicular joint kinematics: Protraction
(opposite to P - retraction gets P, protractions gets A)
Clavicle slides and rolls anteriorly relative to the convex surface of the sternum
Sternoclavicular joint kinematics: Retraction
Concave articular surface of clavicle slides and rolls posteriorly relative to convex surface of sternum (stretches the anterior face costoclavicular ligament and joint capsule)
Sternoclavicular joint kinematics: Anterior and posterior rotation?
During flexion posteriorly rotates 50-60 degrees, and during extension it rotates anteriorly 30 degrees)
Glenohumeral joint kinematics: External rotation
Convex head of humerus rolls backwards and slides forward
Glenohumeral joint kinematics: Internal rotation
Convex head of humerus rolls forward and slides backwards
Glenohumeral joint kinematics: External rotation
Try the movement
Humeral head anteriorises and scapula tilts forward to increase ROM
Glenohumeral joint: Abduction
head of humerus rolls up and slides down
Glenohumeral joint: adduction
head of humerus rolls down and slides up
Supraspinatus
External rotation and abduction
Infraspinatus and teres minor
External rotation and adduction
Subscapularis
Internal rotation
