Glenoid fossa is directed ______________________


Humeral head faces ___________________________

__antero-laterally with slight upward rotation.


__medially, posteriorly and superiorly.

Resting position of GH joint

~55° abduction


30° horizontal adduction


slight external rotation

Closed Packed Position of GH joint

max abduction and external rotation

Capsular pattern of GH joint (frozen shoulder)

supraspinatus (between neutral and full ER)

GH Internal rotation degrees

75-85° of pure IR

GH Internal rotation prime movers

anterior deltoid


pectorals major


trees major


latissimus dorsi


subscapularis

Arthrokinematics of flexion- type of movement

most of the motion occurring is a spinning of the humeral head around a fixed point.


because the spinning is often not 100% pure, rolling and gliding also occurring.

Flexion of GH joint roll and glide direction

Rolls in a anterior/superior direction


Glide occurs in a posterior inferior direction


At the end ranges of flexion, the direction may switch to a posterior roll and an anterior glide.

Adduction of GH joint roll and glide direction

The humeral head rolls inferiorly while gliding superiorly

External rotation of GH joint roll and glide

Roll posteriorly and glide anteriorly

Stabilizing structures

rotator cuff muscles, capsule, GH ligaments, coracohumeral ligament, coracoacromial arch, long head of the biceps, gleaned labrum, negative intra- articular press, compressive forces

Variables which determine the pattern of movements within the fossa

articular geometry, capsuloligamentous influences, positional influences, muscle dynamics

Muscles of the rotator cuff

supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis (SITS)

Rotator cuff stability

provide static stability through reinforcement of the capsule, provide most of the dynamic GH stability
