What is the bicipital/intertubercular groove between the lesser and greater tuberosity?

100

This muscle originates on the supraglenoid tuberosity and coracoid process while it inserts on the radial tuberosity and aponeurosis.  Name this muscle and it's actions.

What is the biceps brachii and shoulder FL/ABD and elbow FL?

100

Name the nine primary movements of the shoulder and six primary movements of the scapula.

100

This term describes a step-off adjacent to the AC joint that can be produced from excessive inferior translation of the glenohumeral joint.

What is a sulcus sign?

100

Name the shoulder complex joint that is not a "true" joint.

What is the scapulothoracic joint?

200

Name the four joints that make up the shoulder complex.

What are the acromioclavicular, glenohumeral, sternoclavicular, and scapulothoracic joints?

200

Name the four rotator cuff muscles and the actions they perform.

200

Name the actions of the deltoid muscles.

What are ABD for all, anterior FL/IR, posterior EXT/ER?

200

MMT for biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis.

What is biceps brachii = resisted elbow FL w/ wrist supinated, brachialis = resisted elbow FL w/ wrist pronated, brachioradialis = resisted elbow FL w/ wrist neutral (thumb up)?

200

This is the name for the unique plane of motion present in the shoulder complex that is between the coronal and sagittal planes.

What is the scapular plane?

300

This joint has six grades of injury and is most often caused by a direct blow to the joint.

What is the acromioclavicular joint?

300

Name the origins and insertions of the deltoid muscle group.

What is they all insert on the deltoid tuberosity and originate on the lateral 1/3 of clavicle (anterior)/acromion (middle)/spine of scapula (posterior)?

300

Name the muscles that contribute to actions at the shoulder and the elbow as well as their actions.

What are the biceps brachii (shoulder FL, elbow FL), triceps brachii (shoulder EXT, elbow EXT)?

300

Name four special tests for AC joint pathology.

What are AC Compression Test, AC Distraction Test, Piano Key Sign, Crossover Maneuver, and AC Laxity Test?

300

Weakness in this muscle may result in scapular winging (the vertebral/medial border elevates).

What is the serratus anterior?

500

Name the major ligaments of the shoulder joint (including their components).

What are the coracohumeral, coracoacromial, acromioclavicular (SI), coracoclavicular (trapezoid & conoid), and glenohumeral (SMI) ligaments?

500

Name the five muscles that contribute to internal rotation of the shoulder.

What are the subscapularis, teres major, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major (sternal head), and anterior deltoid?

500

Describe scapulohumeral rhythm.

What is the coordinated motion of the scapula and humerus experienced during shoulder movement and motion that has been traditionally viewed as occurring at a ratio of 2:1 (2 degrees of humeral flexion/abduction to 1 degree of scapular upward rotation)?

500

Name four special tests for rotator cuff pathology.

What is Drop Arm Test, Gerber Lift-Off, Neer Impingement Test, Hawkins-Kennedy Test, and Empty Can Test?

500

This is the shoulder injury that Maddie is fairly certain she has.

What is thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)?

1000

Name the two proximal attachment points for the long head of the biceps brachii and the long head of the triceps brachii.

What are the supraglenoid tubercle and infraglenoid tubercle?

1000

This muscle originates on the transverse processes of C1-C4 and inserts onto the superior medial angle of the scapula.  Name the muscle and it's actions.

What is the levator scapulae and scapular elevation/downward rotation?

1000

Name the four muscles that contribute to scapular upward rotation and three muscles that contribute to scapular downward rotation.

What are the upper trapezius, middle trapezius, lower trapezius, and serratus anterior for upward rotation?  What are the levator scapulae, rhomboids, and pectoralis minor for downward rotation?

1000

This test has the patient standing while the examiner puts their distal hand on the patient's elbow and their proximal hand on the patient's proximal humerus.  The examiner then applies pressure along the long axis of the humerus while IR and ER the humerus.  Name this test and the positive implications.
