Q

what is particular about the scapulothoracic joint?

A

its not a true joint, it has no boney articulation between the scapula and thoracic cage, movement produced is that of the scapula gliding on the thoracic cage

Q

what is the main function of the rotator cuff muscles? how is it accomplished?

A

serve as dynamic stabilizers to the GH joint by compressing the head of the humerus into the glenoid fossa
creates an inferior translator pull to offset the superior pull of the deltoid during abd (infra, teres and sub)
creates a superior force against gravity with ABD (supraspinatus)

Q

summerize in 3 points the main effect of the combined Scapulohumeral motion

A
  1. the motion is distributed between GH and ST joints
  2. it maintains the glenoid fossa in an optimal position to recieve the head of the humerus, increasing joint congruency while decreasing shear forces
  3. permits musscles acting on the humerus to maintain good length-tension relation while minimizing of preventing active insufficency of GH muscles
