| What are the six ligaments of the glenohumeral joint? | superior/middle/inferior GH ligaments, coracohumeral lig, coracoacromial lig, and transverse humeral lig |
| Which shoulder ligament checks ER during arm elevation from 0-60 degrees? | coracohumeral ligament |
| Which shoulder ligament plays no role with movements, but is part of the supraspinatus tunnel? | coracoacromial ligament |
| In the resting position the GH joint is more taut where? | superiorly |
| In the resting position the GH joint hass more slack where? | anteriorly and inferiorly |
| The GH capsule is how much larger than the humeral head? | 2x |
| Because of the large GH capsule, there is greater than _ inch(es) of distraction allowed of the humeral head. | 1 |
| The subscapularis provides ________ stability. | anterior |
| Space between superior border of subscapularis and supraspinatus tendons is called what? | the Rotator Cuff Interval(RCI) |
| The RCI plays a roll in _________ stability? | inferior |
| What provides stability to the GH joint at 0 degrees of abduction? | superior GH ligament(SGHL), and the RCI |
| What provides stability to the GH joint at 45-75 degrees of abduction? | middle GH ligament(MGHL) |
| What provides stability to the GH joint at >90 degrees of abduction? | Inferior GH ligament(IGHL) |
| What is the closed packed position of the GH joint? | full abduction, and ER |

| A capsular pattern of the GH joint results in limitations of __>___>__. | ER>ABD>IR |
| What protects structures below it from direct trauma, prevents superior dislocationof the humeral head, and can cause impingement? | Coracoacromial Arch |
| In the normal resting position the scapula is __-__ degrees anterior to the frontal plane. | 30-40 |
| What muscle primarily causes superior translation of the humeral head? | deltoid |
| What balances the force of the deltoid (superior translation) and compresses the humeral head? | rotator cuff |
| What muscle centers the humeral head in the glenoid fossa, and decreases vertical and anterior translation? | biceps |
