Shoulder Anatomy
The _________________ space, above the humerus bone, where impingements occur.
What is Subacromial?
Pain radiating down the arm can be caused by an impingement of this nerve in the subacromial space
What is the median nerve
This tendon blends into the shoulder labrum
What is the biceps tendon
Scientific name for golfer's elbow
what is medial epicondylitis
Shoulder dislocations occur when the humerus disolcates in this direction
What is "anterior"
The four muscles that make up the Rotator Cuff
What are the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Infraspinatus?
The main contraindication for a client with a shoulder impingment
What is overhead movement
SLAP stands for:
What is : superior labrum anterior (to) posterior
Bones that make up the elbow joint
Humerus and Ulna
The median nerve innervates this specific part of the hand
what are first three fingers (or thumb, pointer and middle)
The boney prominence on the outside of the humerus where many muscles and ligaments attach.
What is the greater tuberosity
Thickening of the joint capsule
What is frozen shoulder or adhesive capusulitis

These muscles attach at the lateral epicondyle
What are the wrist extensors
During supination of the forearm, the ___________ glides over the _________
Radius, ulna

What are: bursa, median nerve, biceps tendon, RC (or supraspinatous) tendon
What specific pushing exercise is ideal after a shoulder dislocation
What is a floor press
What joint movement is contraindicated after a shoulder dislocation
What is extension or horizontal extension
Caused by chronic overuse of wrist flexors and causes compression of the median nerve
What is carpal tunnel
Weakness in this shoulder/shoulder girdle muscle contributes to elbow injury
4 Joints of the Shoulder Complex
What are: Glenohumeal, Scapulo-Thoracic, Acromio-Clavicular, Sterno-clavicular
After a labral tear, avoid this exercise for 4 weeks
What are biceps curls
Two common causes of a shoulder impingment (there are many)
Upper Cross Syndrome,
poor scapular upward rotation,
weak rotator cuff
scapular stiffness
scapular instability
Name of the boney prominance on the outside of the elbow (the elbow bone)
What is the olecranon
