Unit 5 Lecture 1 Flashcards
What does the scapulohumeral rhythm do?
The cooperation of the scapula with the movements of the humerus
Where does the scapular movement place the shoulder socket?
In the most favorable position for the head of the humerus
What movement does the girdle do?
Movement of the scapula on your back
What is protraction?
Moves shoulders forward
What is retraction?
Moves shoulders backwards
What type of joint is the sternoclavicular joint?
Saddle joint
What does the sternoclavicular do?
Permits limited motion of the clavicle
What is the sternoclavicular partially responsible for?
Movements of the scapula
The sternoclavicular is the only what?
Bony connection between the humerus and axial skeleton
What do the clavicle movements at the SC joint consist of?
Elevation and depression, protraction and retraction, and forward and backward rotation
What is the acromioclavicular joint?
Joint between the clavicle and the acromion process of the scapula
What are the anterior muscles of the shoulder girdle?
Pectoralis major and serratus anterior
What are the posterior muscles of the shoulder girdle?
Levator scapulae, rhomboids, and trapezius
Pectoralis minor origin and insertion
Scapula and ribs
What actions do the Pectoralis minor perform
Draws scapula downward and lifts rubs in forceful inspiration
Serratus anterior origin and insertion
Scapula and ribs
Action of the serratus anterior
Prime mover of protraction
What muscle is known as boxers muscle
Serratus
Trapezius origin and insertion
Skull and vertebrae and scapula and clavicle
Actions of trapezius
Neck lateral flexion, retraction, and depending on which fibers are active it can do upward and downward rotation of the scapula
What is the origin and insertion of the levator scapulae?
Cervical vertebrae and scapula
Actions of the levator scapulae
Scapular elevation, downward rotation of scapula, and neck lateral flexion
What muscle is the common cause of stiff neck?
Levator scapulae
Rhomboids origin and insertion
Vertebrae and scapula
