Unit 2 Lecture Flashcards
name the key bones/bony landmarks of the shoulder complex
- scapula
- clavicle
- sternum
- humerus
- rib cage
name the 3 joints and 1 articulation of the shoulder complex
- sternoclavicular joint
- acromioclavicular joint
- glenohumeral joint
- scapulothoracic articulation
the shoulder girdle is composed of which 2 bones?
scapula and clavicle
which joints allow for shoulder girdle motion?
SC & AC joints
how many muscles attach to the scapula, clavicle, or both to provide motion of the shoulder girdle?
5
what are the motions of the shoulder girdle?
- elevation & depression
- protraction & retraction - occurs with (abduction & adduction)
- UR & DR
- scapular tilt (occurs with hyperextension of the shoulder)
describe the scapula
- located between ribs 2-7
- spine of scapula is level with T3 and T4
describe the clavicle
- “S” shaped and connects upper extremities to axial skeleton at SC joint
- composed of sternal end, body, and acromial end
describe the sternum
- composed of 3 divisions: manubrium, body, and xiphoid process
the glenohumeral joint is composed of which 2 bones?
- composed of the scapula & humerus
the glenohumeral joint is also known as
the shoulder joint
what are the motions of the glenohumeral joint?
- flexion & extension
- abduction & adduction
- MR & LR
- horizontal abduction & horizontal adduction
is the glenohumeral joint more mobile or more stable?
more mobile
what is the sternoclavicular joint composed of?
- costoclavicular ligament - between the clavicle & rib limits clavicular elevation
- interclavicular ligament - between clavicle & sternum limits clavicular depression
- sternoclavicular ligament - connect to anterior & posterior surface of sternum provides reinforcement to clavicle
- articular disk - between clavicle & sternum shock absorption
what does the sternoclavicular joint provide direct attachment of?
the shoulder girdle to the trunk of the body
what are the motions of the sternoclavicular joint?
- elevation & depression disk & clavicle
- protraction & retraction disk & sternum
- rotation
3 degrees of freedom
is the sternoclavicular joint more mobile or more stable?
more stable/strong
describe the acromioclavicular joint
a synovial joint with a weak capsule
what are the motions of the acromioclavicular joint?
- elevation & depression
- protraction & retraction
- UR & DR
- scapular tilt
3 degrees of freedom
what is the acromioclavicular joint composed of?
- acromioclavicular ligament - around acromial end of clavicle superior & inferior support of weak capsule
- coracoacromial ligament - forms arch over head of humerus
- coracoclavicular ligament - scapula to clavicle lateral trapezoid and deeper medial conoid
scapulohumeral rhythm
- movement relationship between the shoulder girdle and shoulder joint
- 2:1 ratio
- first 30 degrees of joint elevation is pure joint motion
after that - every 2 degrees of shoulder flexion or abduction = 1 degree of upward rotation from scapula
- first 30 degrees of joint elevation is pure joint motion
define winging (associated with scapulohumeral rhythm)
the medial border of the scapula lifts off of the thoracic wall in a posterior direction (not normal)
name and describe the muscles of the shoulder girdle that participate in reversal of muscle action (origin moves to insertion)
- UPPER TRAP WITH SHOULDER GIRDLE STABILIZED - assists in extending the head & neck, lateral bending to same side, and rotating to opposite side
- LOWER TRAP WITH SHOULDER STABILIZED - assists in elevating the trunk (particularly during crutch walking)
- LEVATOR SCAPULA WITH SCAPULA STABILIZED - assists in rotating and laterally bending the neck to the same side
