Term

How many bony attachments

are there of the shoulder to the axial skeleton?

Definition

One:

The clavicle articulates with the sternum

via the sternoclavicular (SC) joint

Term

What is the purpose and

location of the gleniod labrum?

Definition

Purpose: to deepen the joint for greater congruity, attachment site for capsule

Location: on the glenoid fossa

 

*fibrocartilagenous lip*

Term
When does the clavicle see movement?
Definition

Rotation of the clavicle occurs as an accessory motion when the humerus is elevated above the horizontal position

 

*cannot happen independently*

Term
During abduction of the arm, what must happen for the greater tubercle of the humerus to clear the coracoacromial arch?
Definition

The Humerus must externally rotate as its elevated above the horizontal

 

*inadequate leads to impingement*

Term
T/F: Neither internal nor external rotation of the humerus is necessary to prevent impingement through scaption
Definition
true
Term
What are the Rotator Cuff muscles?
Definition
Term
What is adhesive capsulitis?
Definition

Development of dense adhesions and capsular restrictions

 

Cause:

Primary AC: Idiopathic

Secondary AC: period of pain and/or restricted motion (RA, OA, Trauma, Immobilization)

Term
What is the Scapulohumeral Rhythm/Ratio?
Definition

2:1

 

2* of glenohumeral motion to

1* of scapular rotation

Term
What muscles create upward rotation of the scapula?
Definition
Upper and Lower Traps
Term
The clavicle elevates __* at the SC joint with initial upward rotation of the scapula
Definition
30
Term
During abduction of the arm in the frontal plane, the humerus must ____ in order for the greater tubercle of the humerus to clear the coracoacromial arch
Definition

externally rotate

 

insufficient --> impingement  --> pain, inflammation, and eventual loss of function

Term
Why does the humerus medially rotate in flexion?
Definition

As the arm elevates above horizontal, the anterior capsule and ligaments become taut --> medial rotation

 

*most of the shoulder flexor muscles are also medial rotators of the humerus*

Term
What two muscles help prevent excessive anterior translation/instability of the humeral head against inward rotating forces
Definition

Infraspinatus

Teres Minor

Term
Motion described as scaption is located __* anterior to the frontal plane
Definition

30

 

Less tension on the capsule in this plane -- more elevation is possible than with pure flexion or abduction

Term
When this muscle is un-opposed, it can cause impingement
Definition
Deltoid
