UE Flashcards
shoulder flexion muscles
anterior and middle delt, supraspinatus, pec major, coracobrachialis, and biceps brachii
shoulder flexion normal ROM
180
GH-120
AC, SC, ST - 60 degrees
testing position of shoulder flexion ROM
supine
shoulder flexion ROM lines
Stationary: midline of the trunk
Moving: greater tubercle of the humerus toward the lateral epicondyle
Shoulder flexion normal end feel
firm
due to tension from the posterior joint capsule
Shoulder extension muscles
lats, posterior delt, teres major, tricep brachii (long head)
Normal ROM of shoulder extension
60
GH- 25
testing position for shoulder extension ROM
prone
Shoulder extension ROM lines
stationary: midline of the trunk
moving: greater tubercle and the lateral epicondyle
Normal end feel for shoulder extension
firm
due to anterior joint capsule
shoulder abduction muscles
middle delt, supraspinatus, and biceps brachii (long head)
shoulder abduction normal ROM
180
GH: 125
AC,SC,ST: 55
testing position for shoulder abduction ROM
supine
testing lines for shoulder abduction ROM
stationary: parallel to the sternum
moving: anterior midline toward the medial epicondyle
normal end feel for shoulder abduction
firm
due to tension of glenohumeral ligaments, inferior capsule, teres major and pec major
shoulder adduction muscles
lats, pec major, teres major and minor
normal shoulder adduction ROM
usually not measured as it is full return to 0 from abduction; in order to get the arm across the body the shoulder needs to flex and internally rotate
shoulder External Rotation Muscles
Infraspinatus, teres minor, posterior delt
normal shoulder external rotation ROM
90
testing position for shoulder external rotation ROM
supine; shoulder abducted to 90 degrees
shoulder external rotation ROM testing lines
stationary: perpendicular to the floor
moving: ulnar styloid process along the ulnar border
normal end feel for shoulder external rotation
firm
tension anterior joint capsule
shoulder internal rotation muscles
subscap, teres major, lats and pec major
normal shoulder internal rotation ROM
