Shoulder Complex

Term used to include all of the structures involved with motion of the shoulder.

Shoulder Complex (contd)

Scapula


Clavicle


Sternum


Humerus


Rib Cage


Sternoclavicular Joint


AcromioClavicular joint


Glenohumeral joint


Scapulothoracic articulation

Shoulder Girdle

Term used to discuss activities of the Scapula and Clavicle (and to a lesser degree, the sternum)

Scapulathoracic Articulation

Scapula & Thorax. (Not directly attached but are connected indirectly by clavicle and several muscles)

Shoulder Joint

Also called Glenohumeral joint. Consists of Scapula and Humerus

Superior medial aspect providing attachment for the Levator Scapula Muscle

Superior Angle

Most inferior point and where vertebral and axillary border meet. This point determines scapular rotation

Inferior Angle

Between superior and inferior angles medially, and attachment of the rhomboid and serratus anterior muscles

Vertebral Border

The lateral side between glenoid fossa and inferior angle

Axillary Border

Projection on posterior surface running from medial border laterally to the acromium process. Provides attachment for the middle and lower trapezius muscles

Spine

Projection on anterior surface, providing attachment for the pectorals minor muscle

Coracoid Process

Broad, flat area on superior lateral aspect, providing attachment for the upper trapezius muscle

Acromion Process

Slightly concave surface that articulates with humerus on superior lateral side above the axillary border and below acromion process

Glenoid Fossa

Sternal end of clavicle

attaches medially to sternum

Acromial end of clavicle

attaches laterally to scapula and provides attachment for the upper trapezius muscle

Body of the clavicle

area between the two ends

Manubrium of the Sternum

Superior end of sternum providing attachment for the clavicle and first rib

Body of the Sternum

The middle two-thirds of the sternum, providing attachment for the remaining ribs

Xiphoid Process

The inferior tip of the sternum

Sternoclavicular Joint

Provides the shoulder girdle with its only direct attachment to the trunk. It is a plane shaped synovial joint with double gliding motion.

Sternoclavicular Joint motions

Elevation and Depression


Protraction and Retraction


Rotation

Ligaments of the Sternoclavicular Joint

Interclavicular Ligament


Costoclavicular Ligament


Sternoclavicular Ligament

Sternoclavicular Ligament

Connects the clavicle to the sternum

Costoclavicular Ligament

Connects the clavicle's inferior surface to the superior surface of the costal cartilage of the first rib

Interclavicular Ligament

Located on top of the manubrium, connecting the superior sternal ends of the clavicles.

Acromioclavicular Joint

Connects acromion process of the scapula with the lateral end of the clavicle

Ligaments of the Acromioclavicular Joint

Acromioclavicular ligaments


Coracoacromial ligament


Coracoclavicular ligament

Acromioclavicular Ligaments

Support the joint by holding the acromion process to the clavicle, thus preventing dislocation of the clavicle

Coracoclavicular Ligament

provides stability to the joint and allows scapula to be suspended. Connects scapula to the clavicle by attaching to the inferior surface of the clavicle's lateral end

Coracoacromial Ligament

Forms a roof over the head of the humerus and serves as a protective arch, providing support to the head when an upward force is transmitted along the humerus. It attaches laterally on the superior surface of the coracoid process.

Linear Joint Motions

Elevation/Depression


Protraction/Retraction

Joint Angular Motions

Upward Rotation/Downward Rotation

Upward Rotation

Inferior angle of the scapula rotates up and away from vertebral column

Downward Rotation

Return of the scapula to the resting anatomical position

Scapula Tilt (joint motion)

Occurs when shoulder goes into hyperextension. Superior end of scapula tilts anteriorly, and inferior end tilts posteriorly.

Scapula Winging

Posterior lateral movement of the vertebral border of the scapula in the transverse plane. (Vertebral border of the scapula moves away from the rib cage). (seen most often at scapulothoracic articulation).

Scapulohumeral Rhythm

Describes movement relationship between the shoulder girdle and shoulder joint. First 30 degrees of shoulder joint motion is pure shoulder movement After that, for every 2 degrees of shoulder flexion or abduction that occurs, the scapula must upwardly rotate 1 degree (2:1)

Shoulder Joint: Shoulder Girdle movements

Joint : Girdle (movement)


Flexion : Upward Rotation/Protraction


Extension : Downward Rotation/Retraction


Hyperextension : Scapular Tilt


Abduction: Upward Rotation


Adduction : Downward Rotation


Medial Rotation : Protraction


Lateral Rotation : Retraction


Horizontal abduction : Retraction


Horizontal adduction : Retraction

Force couple

Muscles pulling in different directions to accomplish the same motion.

Reversal of muscle action

This is when the insertion of a muscle is stabilized, so that it is the origin that moves.
