120 degrees
In the GH joint, roll and glide occur in the ________ direction.
opposite
What are the arthrokinematics of the GH joint?
Flexion/Extension: spin, not roll and glide
Medial/Lateral rotation in neutral- roll posterior, glide anterior (lateral)
Medial/Lateral rotation in 90 deg abduction: spin
What is the main feature of the scapular plane?
It repositions the tubercle in order to allow for greater ROM

Retraction: 30 degrees
Upward rotation: 55 degrees
Downward rotation: 10 degrees
What are the arthrokinematics of the SC joint?
Protraction retraction, elevation, and depression are roll and glide

Upward and downward rotation are spin

What is an example of how the AC and SC joints interact?
Elevation:
SC joint: Elevation of clavicle
AC joint: Downward rotation of scapula-helps keep scapula vertical. Also fine tuning to keep scapula flush with thorax
What is scapulohumeral rhythm?
2:1 ratio of GH joint:Scapulo-thoracic

Humeral IR
What motions does the trapezius produce?
Scapular elevation/upward rotation
Retraction/adduction
Depression/downward rotation
Together: adduction, upward rotation
What is the function of the serratus anterior?
Scapular protraction
Upward rotation/elevation
Keeps the vertebral border against the ribs
What muscles are involved in the force couple that upwardly rotates the scapula?
Serratus Anterior
Trapezius
How do the pec minor and post adductor/downard rotator work together?
Reaching down and back, like reaching for your wallet
Which muscle's tendon is intra-capsular?
Long head of biceps brachii
(Glenoid Tubercle)
Which head of the biceps is more involved in shoulder flexion?
Short Head
What motions does the supraspinatus perform?
Shoulder Abduction
Medial Rotation
What motions does the infraspinatus perform?
ER
Abduction
Horizontal abduction
Which muscles is the primary rotator cuff internal rotator?
Subscapularis
What is the rotator interval?
Tendons of the RTC muscles form a “cuff” about the humeral head. There is a space between the supraspinatus and subscapularis where other structures can cross the joint-rotator interval.
Why is the JRF the greatest at 90 degrees of shoulder abduction?
The line of pull, or the moment are of gravity is the greatest.
