Week 2 Flashcards
What are the 3 groups of muscles in the shoulder region?
- axioscapular and axioclavicular
- scapulohumeral
- axiohumeral
What are the functions of the axioscapular and axioclavicular muscles?
- move and stabilise the pectoral girdle
- position the scapula and the clavicle and will result in movement of the Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) and the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ).
What are the 3 anterior muscles of the axioscapular and axioclaviciular region?
- subclavius
- Pectoralis Minor
- Serratus anterior
What are the 5 posterior muscles in the axioscapular and axioclavicular region?
- upper trapezius
- middle trapezius
- levator scapulae
- rhomboid minor
- rhomboid major
Subclavius movements:
- clavicular depression
Pectoralis minor movements:
- scapular abduction
serratus anterior movements:
- scapular abduction
- scapular upwards rotation
- scapular stabiliser
Upper trapezius movements:
- scapular elevation
- scapular adduction
- scapular upward rotation
Middle trapezius movements:
- scapular adduction
- scapular upwards rotation
Lower trapezius movements:
- scapular depression
- scapular adduction
- scapular upwards rotation
levator scapulae movements:
- scapular elevation
- scapular downwards rotation
Rhomboid minor movements:
- scapular elevation
- scapular adduction
- scapular downwards rotation
Rhomboid major movements:
- scapular elevation
- scapular adduction
- scapular downwards rotation
What are muscle force couples?
- equal and opposite forces action on two different points of a ridged body
Upper trapezius vs Lower trapezius
- Upper trapezius elevation and lower trapezius depression cancel out and produce scapular adduction and upwards rotation
What is medial winging?
the medial boarder of the scapula protrudes due to the muscles bring too weal and thus having a limited ability to stabilise the scapula
muscle weakness = serratus anterior
nerve dysfunction = long thoracic nerve
What are the 7 scapulohumeral muscles?
- deltoid
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres minor
- teres major
- subscapularis
- coracobrachialis
Deltoid movements:
- anterior deltoid: flexion, abductionand horizontal flexion
- middle deltoid: abduction
- posterior deltoid: extension, horizontal extension
supraspinatus movements:
- abduction
infraspinatus movements:
- external rotation
teres minor movements:
- external rotation
subscapularis movements:
- internal rotation
