Updates, figures and tables Flashcards
resting position of the SC joint
SC joint (clavicle relative to the sternum) a. Retraction – 20 from the frontal plane, motion in the horizontal plane b. Elevation – 5 degrees from the horizontal plane, motion in the frontal plane c. Rotation – 0 degrees from the horizontal plane, motion in sagittal plane Ludewig. “Motion of the shoulder complex during multiplanar humeral elevation.” (2009)
resting position of the AC joint
AC (scapular relative to the clavicle) a. IR – 60 from to the frontal plane, motion in the horizontal plane b. Upward rotation – 2 from to the horizontal plane, motion in the frontal plane c. Anterior tilt – 8 from the frontal plane, motion in the sagittal plan Ludewig. “Motion of the shoulder complex during multiplanar humeral elevation.” (2009)
Describe the motion of the SC joint during arm elevation 0-120
- Retraction – increases 16 (23 to 39) peak abd 44 flex 32 - Elevation – increases 6 (11 to 17), peak abd 20 flex 14 - Posterior rotation – increases 31 (starting form 0) peak abd=flex Ludewig. “Motion of the shoulder complex during multiplanar humeral elevation.” (2009)
Resting position of the scapulothoracic joint
Scapulothoracic (scapular relative to the thorax) a. IR (winging) – 41 from the frontal plane, motion in the horizontal plane b. Upward rotation – 5 from the sagittal plane, motion in the frontal plane c. Anterior tilt – 13 from the frontal plane, motion in the sagittal plane Ludewig. “Motion of the shoulder complex during multiplanar humeral elevation.” (2009)
Describe SC arthokinematics 0-120
- motion of the clavicle relative the the sternum
- retraction horizontal plane - flex 22 (-18 to -32); scap 12 (-24 to -36); abd 14 (-28 to -42)
- elevation frontal plane of motion - flex 5 (10-15); scap 5 (12-17); abd 6 (14-20)
- posterior rotation sagital plane motion - flex, scap and abd 31 (0-31)
What are the two openings in the shoulder joint capsule?
- bewteen the humeral tuberlces
- capsule and subscapularis bursa
Describe the angle of inclination of the scapular glenoid
- typically 7 degrees from vertical
- But can be flatter or stepper angles
what is the normal distance of the medial scapula to the SPs
5 cm
How does the AC articular surfaces change with age?
- acromial side fo the articlaru catilage change to fibocartilage by age 17
- clavicular side of the articular cartilage changes to fibrocartilabe by age 24
What motions does the coracoclavicular ligments resist?
- Conoid elevation and protraction
- trapezoid - elevation and protraction as well as AC joint compression
What ligament contributes to the rotation of the clavicle during arm elevation?
- Both the anterior and posterior bundles fo the costoclavicular ligament
Descirbe the force couple of the deltoid and RTC
- RTC creates compression of the humeral head in the glenoid
- deltoid pulls the humerus up
- RTC is most active in mid ranges with capsule is most lax
What are the benefit of the serratus and trap force couple
- rotation of scapula while maintaining the glenoid aligment
- matain effecient length tension relationship for the deltoid
- prevent RTC impingment
- provide a stable scapular base for arm movment
Describe the axis of rotation of the scapula during abduction
- beginng range axis of rotation near the medial border at the level of the spine of the scapula
- moves lateral towards the AC joint
Describe the RTC A/P force couple
- anterior subscap and posterior infrapinatus/teres minor
- provide superior migration stability
- provide glenoid/humeral head comrpession/centration
What are the evidnce informed ways of scribing scapular motion impairments
- Kibler’s (1) inferior angle (2) medial border (3) superior elevation
- McClure yes/no dyskninesia present
What Special tests could you use to confirm scapular dyskinesia
- Kiblers Scapular assistance test - manually assist the scapula into upward rotation to assess the impact on symptoms
- Kiberse scapular retraction test - manually retract the scapular as the patient goes into the 90/90 abduction postion and assess symptom reponse
- flip test - manually resist shoulder ER from the GH open pack position observing for scapular tilt
What are the key mechanical impairments in RTC injury
- anterior translation of the humeral head
- superior migration of the humeral head
What is posterior impingment of the shoulder
Max ER in an abudcted position with can cause an impingment of the RTC tendons between humberal head and glenoid rim
What are the best test position to isolate supraspinatus
- empty can
- full can
- champagne toast
what is the best position to isolate infraspinatus
0 degree abduction and 45 ER
best position for isolating subscap
lift off position
What are some special test for shoulder impingment
- Neer
- HK
- force IR in abduction
- cross arm
- Yocum (active raise of elbow in cross arm position
What are the most common models of shoulder pathology
- Impingment
- instability/loose joint
- Labral tear
- Degenerative changes
