Joints of Shoulder
|
-sternoclavicular-acromioclavicular-glenohumeral-scapulothoracic
|
Scapulothoracic JointCharacteristics and Movements
|
-not a true joint-scapula attached to thorax by muscles-attached by clavicle to sternum-Movements: elevation/depression, protraction/retraction, upward/downward rotation
|
Elevation/ Depression and Tipping
|
-maintains contact with trunk-occurs about ML axis-some tipping normal-excessive tipping: inferior angle moves away from trunk (caused by weakness of stabilizers of scapula)
|
Protraction (ABD) Retraction (ADD) and Winging
|
-maintains trunk contact-occurs in vertical axis-excessive winging brings medial border (weakness due to serratus anterior)
|
Scapular Rotation
|
Upward (lateral)Downward (Medial)
|
Sternoclavicular Joint Movements
|
-elevation/depression-protraction/retraction-axial (longitudinal) rotation of the clavicle (with shoulder abd or flex, rotates posteriorly 40-50 degrees)
|
Clavicular Elevation/ Depression, Protraction/retraction with scapular movements
|
-elevation during scapular elevation or upward rotation-depression during scapular depression or downward rotation-protraction with scapular protraction-retraction with scapular retraction
|
Clavicular axial rotation
|
-rotation of clavicle along its longitudinal axis-with shoulder abduction/flexion, clavicle rotates 40-50 degrees posteriorly
|
Tissues that stabilize the Acromioclavicular Joint
|
-superior/inferior acromioclavicular ligaments-deltoid and upper trapezius-coracoclavicular ligaments: conoid and trapezoid-articular disc
|
AC joint movements
|
-upward/downward rotation-horizontal place rotational adjustments-sagittal place rotational adjustments
|
Glenohumeral Joint
|
-ball and socket-head of humerus and shallow glenoid fossa of scapular-deepened by glenoid labrum-mobile but unstable
|
Tissues that stable GH joint
|
-rotator cuff muscles-GH joint capsular ligaments (superior, inferior, middle)-coracohumeral ligament-long head of the biceps-glenoid labrum
|
Coracoacromial Arch
|
-"roof of GH joint"-acromion process of spine of scapula to coracoid process of scapula-coracoacromial ligament-area beneath speace is 1 cm with contents: supraspinatus muscle and tendon, subacromial bursa, long head of biceps, part of superior joint capsule
|
Subacromial-Subdeltoid Bursa-Bursitis?
|
-decreases friction between: coracoacromial arch (deltoid muscle and supraspinatus tendon)-bursitis: inflammation of the bursa
|
GH Joint motion
|
-flex/ext, abd/add, IR/ER-flex and abd resul;ts in upward rolling and downward gliding-otherwise impingement of head of humerus on coracoacromial arch would occur-ER helps increas ABD ROM
