Week 4-Functional anatomy upper limb SUP

Question 1

The shoulder girdle consists of four joints?

Answer 1

Sternoclavicular
Acromioclavicular
Glenohumeral (shoulder joint)
Scapulothoracic

Question 2

Sternoclavicular joint?

Answer 2

Strongly reinforced by musculature, due to >ROM

Strongest joint capsule to prevent subluxation / dislocation (bone on bone)

Question 3

Acromioclavicular Joint?

Answer 3

Joint handles large contact stresses (hip and shoulder bump) due to large axial loading

Question 4

GLENOHUMERAL (Shoulder) JOINT?

Answer 4

Large ROM due to size differences between humeral head and glenoid fossa

Question 5

Muscles of the Shoulder Girdle?

Answer 5

All originate on axial skeleton

Provide dynamic stability of the scapula

Question 6

Glenohumeral Musculature?

Answer 6

Proximal Humeral Attachments

Distal Humeral Attachments

Question 7

Dislocation of the Shoulder?

Answer 7

Scapula processes prevent superior

Inferior rare due to musculature

Question 8

Shoulder Injuries?

Answer 8

Limited DOF for energy dissipation – easier to break

Question 9

Elbow Joint Structure 3 joints?

Answer 9

Humeroulnar
Humeroradial
Proximal Radioulnar

Question 10

Structure of the Carpometacarpal and Intermetacarpal Joints?

Answer 10

Thumb ROM enhanced due to ROM of Trapezium

Movements descriptors from anatomical position

Question 11

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Answer 11

Inflammation and or compression of the structures of the wrist that pass through the carpal tunnel
