Unit 3 Exam Flashcards
ER causes the head of the humerus to move
Anterior
IR causes the head of the humerus to move
Posterior
Abduction causes ____ translation of the humeral head
Inferior
Abduction causes ___ translation of the humeral head
Inferior
Scapulothoracic Junction
Depends completely on muscular control and support. Very important to give shoulder joint a mechanical advantage and keep bigger muscles in a better position
Scapulohumeral Rhythm
Every 15 degrees of humeral movement you get 10 degrees of scapular movement; most of it happens in early abduction (Ratio 1.25:1)
Rotator Cuff Force
Holds humeral head against glenoid fossa, especially with arm in low degrees of abduction
Biceps brachii tendon force
Pulls and tightens humeral head against glenoid fossa
Flexion (spin and glide)
Anterior spin, posterior glide
Extension (spin and glide)
Posterior spin, anterior glide
What does the subacromial space contain?
b/t head of humerus and acromion
area for rotator cuff (supraspinatus)
long head biceps
subacromial and subdeltoid bursae
Glenoid Labrum
Cartilaginous disc that deepens cavity and increases stability
Attaches to biceps tendon
What 3 joints make up the shoulder?
SC, AC, GH
This joint is the only bony attachment to the body
SC Joint
The SC joint is a ________________ joint
Saddle (Sellar)
In a SC joint, the ________________ moves on ______________
clavicle, disc
This allows for more movement in the SC joint
Interarticular disc
with elevation/depression in the SC joint, the axis of motion is _____________
Oblique
For elevation at the SC joint the motion is ________ and _________
upward, backward
For depression at the SC join the motion is ___________ and __________
downward, forward
For protraction/retraction at the SC joint, the axis of motion is nearly ____________ and passes through the ______________
vertical, manubrium
For protraction/retraction at the SC joint, the movement is between the _______________ and the _____________
sternum, disc
For ROTATION at the SC joint, the axis of motion is along the ____________ axis
long (horizontal)
Rotation at the SC joint occurs when ______________ ligament tightens
conoid
SC support
Articular capsule, Anterior/Posterior SC ligaments,
Interclavicular Ligaments,
Costoclavicular Ligaments
