the shoulder complex Flashcards
what bones make up the shoulder complex?
humerus
scapula
clavicle
what joint connects the shoulder to the axial skeleton?
sternoclavicular joint
what is the primary mechanism that serves for securing the shoulder girdle to the rest of the body?
suspensory muscles
what are the three anatomical joints that make up the shoulder complex?
sternoclavicular joint
acromioclavicular joint
glenohumeral joint
what is the functional joint that makes up the shoulder complex?
scapulothoracic joint
what is particular about the scapulothoracic joint?
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
what articulates in the GH joint?
the small glenoid fossa with the head of the humerus
what is the GH joint often referred to as?
the shoulder joint
what motions can be accomplished by the sternoclavicular joint?
elevation/depression
protraction/retraction
anterior/posterior rotation of the clavicle
what type of mvmt occurs at the acromioclavicular joint?
minimal movement but will participate in elevation and depression, protraction/retraction
anterior/posterior rotation of the clavicle
what enhances the glenoid fossa?
the glenoid labrum
what has the GH joint sacrified to serve the mobility needs to the hand?
sacrified congruency
what mvmts can be accomplished by the GH joint?
flexion/extension
add/abd
IR/ER
What is the GH joint susceptible to?
degenerative changes and dernagement
what are the shoulder muscles responsible for?
F/E
ABD/ADD
ER/IR
What is the Scapulothoracic motion a part of?
part of a true closed chian with SC and AC joints thus movement of ST will result in motion of AC and/or SC joint
what type of motion occurs at the ST joint?
Elevation/depression
protraction/retraction
up/down rotation
what motion occurs to keep the scapula relatively flushed with the curved rib cage?
smaller motion of the medial/lateral rotation and anterior/posterior tipping of the ST joint
scapular muscles are responsible for what types of mvmts?
Elevation/depression
protraction/retraction
up/down rotation
what is the general AROM/PROM of flexion in the shoulder?
160-180 degrees
what is the general AROM/PROM of extension in the shoulder?
50-60
what is the general AROM/PROM of ABD in the shoulder?
180
what is the general AROM/PROM of IR in the shoulder?
60-100
what is the general AROM/PROM of ER in the shoulder?
80-90 degrees
