Shoulder Girdle
The Shoulder Girdle consists of what bones?
Scapula and Clavicle.
This is a tendinous band formed by the blending together of the suscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles.
Rotator cuff
The fractures account for the most frequently broken bone in children
What is clavicular fracture?
How to MMT for Shoulder Flexion?
Against gravity you put your patient in supine (on back)
Gravity eliminated your patient is in side lying
what motion does the teres major do?
Shoulder extension, adduction, and medial rotation
What are the Shoulder Girdle motions?
Elevation, Depression, Protraction, Retraction & Upward and Downward Rotation.
these muscles are innervated by the axillary nerve.
Teres Minor, Posterior deltoid, middle deltoid, anterior deltoid.
Common term used to describe the various amounts of ligament injury at the AC joint
Acromioclavicular separation
How to MMT for Shoulder Extension?
Against gravity your patient is in prone (on stomach)
Gravity Eliminated your patient is in side lying
What motions does the Latissimus Dorsi do?
shoulder extension, adduction, medial rotation, hyperextension
What is the Scapular Plane?
Scapula rests 30 degrees anterior to the frontal plane in resting position against the rib cage.
This motion is similar to flexion or abduction but occurs approximately 30 degrees forward to the frontal plane.
Scapular plane
Leads to pain and loss of shoulder range of motion. Also known as ”Frozen Shoulder“
What is Adhesive capsulitis?
How to MMT for Shoulder Abduction?
Against gravity your patient is seated
Gravity eliminated your patient is in supine (on your back)
What motion does the Infraspinatus do?
shoulder lateral rotation, horizontal abduction
What is the reference point of the Scapula to define rotation?
Inferior angle.
This has 3 heads but only the long head crosses the shoulder joint.
Triceps Muscle
Commonly seen in individuals who have hemiplegia, usually from a cerebrovascualr accident
What is Glenohumeral subluxation?
How to MMT for Shoulder External Rotation?
Against gravity your patient is in prone (on your stomach)
Gravity eliminated your patient is seated
What motion does the supraspinatus do?
shoulder abduction
What is the Scapulohumeral Rhythm?
For every 2 degrees of shoulder flexion or abduction, the scapula must upwardly rotate 1 degree.
The greatest amount of arthrokinematic motion is possible when the glenohumeral joint is in the open-packed position of _________ degrees of abduction and ________ degrees of horizontal adduction.
55 degrees
30 degrees
Usually involves the long head of the biceps proximally as it crosses the humeral head, changes direction, & decends into the bicipital groove.
What is Bicipital tendonitis?
How to MMT for Shoulder Internal Rotation?
Against gravity your patient is in prone (on your stomach)
Gravity Eliminated your patient is seated
What motion does the coracobrachialis do?
stabilizes the shoulder joint
