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 |
|

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

Subscapular Fossa |
|
Below the spine, providing attachment for the infraspinatus muscle |
Infraspinous Fossa |

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) |
