Shoulder Joint

Made up of the Humeral head articulating with the glenoid fossa of the scapula. Most movable joint and least stable.

Motions of the Shoulder Joint

Flexion, Extension & Hyperextension


Abduction and Adduction


Medial and Lateral Rotation


Horizontal Abduction & Adduction


Circumduction


Scaption

Motions that occur in sagittal plane around frontal axis

Flexion, Extension & Hyperextension

Motions that occur in frontal plane around sagittal axis

Abduction & Adduction

Motions that occur in the transverse plane around vertical axis

Medial & Lateral Rotation

Scaption

This motion is similar to flexion or abduction but occurs in the scapular plane as opposed to the sagittal or frontal plane

Normal End Feel for all shoulder joint motions

Soft Tissue Stretch

Shallow, somewhat egg shaped socket on the superior end, lateral side that articulates with the humerus

Glenoid Fossa

Fibrocartilaginous ring attached to the rim of the glenoid fossa, which deepens articular cavity

Labrum

Includes most of the area on the anterior surface, providing attachment for the subscapularis muscle

Subscapular Fossa

Below the spine, providing attachment for the infraspinatus muscle

Infraspinous Fossa

Above the spine, providing attachment for the supraspinatus muscle

Suparspinous Fossa

Providing attachment for the trees major and trees minor muscles

Axillary Border

Broad, flat area on the superior lateral aspect, providing attachment for the middle deltoid muscle

Acromion Process

Semirounded proximal end: articulates with the scapula

Head (Humerus)

Slightly constricted area just below tubercles where the head meets the body

Surgical Neck (Humerus)

Circumferential groove separating the head from the tubercle

Anatomical Neck (Humerus)

Or "body": the area between the surgical neck proximally and the epicondyles distally

Shaft (Humerus)

Large projection lateral to head and lesser tubercle: provides attachment for the supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor muscles

Greater Tubercle (Humerus)

Smaller projection on anterior surface medial to greater tubercle: provides attachment for the subscapularis muscle

Lesser Tubercle (Humerus)

On the lateral side near the midpoint: not usually a well-defined landmark

Deltoid Tuberosity

Also called "inter tubercular groove": longitudinal groove between tubercles: containing tendon of the long head of the biceps

Bicipital Groove

Also called lateral and medial lips of the bicipital groove, or the crests of the greater and lesser tubercles. Provides attachment for the pectoralis major (lateral lip) and latissimus dorsi (medial lip)

Bicipital Ridges

Thin walled spacious container that attaches around the rim of the glenoid fossa of the scapula and anatomical neck of the humerus

Joint Capsule

attaches fro the lateral side of the coracoid process and spans the joint anteriorly to the medial side of the greater tubercle

Coracohumeral Ligament

reinforce the anterior portion of the capsule. these aren't well defined ligaments. they are pleated folds of the capsule

Glenohumeral Ligaments

Fibrous ring that surrounds the rim of the glenoid fossa. Its function is to deepen the articular cavity

Labrum

Tendinous band formed by the blending together of the tendinous insertions of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and trees minor muscles

Rotator Cuff

Rotator Cuff (contd)

Muscles involved in the cuff help to keep the head of the humerus rotating against the glenoid fossa during joint motion

Thoracolumbar Fascia

(lumbar aponeurosis) is a superficial fibrous sheet that attaches to the spinous processes of the lower thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, the supra spinal ligament and the posterior part of iliac crest

Muscles of the Shoulder Joint

Deltoid, Pectoralis Major, Latissimus Dorsi


Teres Major, Teres Minor, Supraspinatus


Infraspinatus, Subscapularis, Coracobrachialis


Biceps Brachii, Triceps Brachii, Long Head

GlenoHumeral Movement

Movement of the humeral head on the glenoid fossa. Involves the arthrokinematic motions of GLIDE, SPIN and ROLL

Acromioclavicular Separation

General term for various amounts of ligament injury at the acromioclavicular joint

Clavicular Fractures

account for the most frequently broken bone in children. Usually results from fall on the lateral aspect of the shoulder or on the outstretched hand

Humeral Neck Fracture

Also caused by fall on the outstretched hand. It is common in the elderly

Midhumeral Fractures

Caused by a direct blow or twisting force.

Radial Nerve Injury

Caused by spiral fractures as the nerve passes next to the bone.

Pathological Factors

Caused by benign tumors or metastatic carcinoma

Anterior Shoulder Dislocations

Forced shoulder abduction and lateral rotation resulting in the dislocation

Glenohumeral Sublaxation

Seen in individuals who have hemiplegia from a stroke

Impingement Syndrome

An overuse condition that involves compression between the arcomial arch, humeral had and soft tissue structures

Adhesive Capsulitis

Refers to the inflammation and fibrosis of the shoulder joint capsule which leads to pain and loss of rom (frozen shoulder)
