Ch 9 Shoulder Girdle

Clinical Kinesiology Chapter 9

QuestionAnswer
The Shoulder Complex consists of: The clavicle, scapula, and sternum
The Shoulder Joint consists of: The scapula and the humerus
A term often used to discuss the activities of the scapula, clavicle, and (to a lesser degree) the sternum: Shoulder Girdle
What are the joints of the shoulder girdle? The acromioclavicular (AC) joint and the sternoclavicular (SC) joint
Name the motions available at the shoulder girdle: 1) elevation and depression 2) protraction and retraction 3) upward and downward rotation
What are the 5 muscles that are responsible for SHOULDER GIRDLE movement? 1) Trapezius 2) Levator Scapula 3) Rhomboids 4) Serratus Anterior 5) Pectoralis minor
The articulation between the humerus and scapula is called: the glenohumeral joint
The _________ _________ is very mobile and has few ligaments. glenohumeral joint
The _________ is only INDIRECTLY attached to the axial skeleton, via the clavicle. scapula
What is the resting position of the scapula? Between Ribs #2 and #7 (or #3 and #9). The vertebral border of the scapula should be 2-3" inches lateral to the spinous processes of the vertebrae.
When the scapula is in resting position, the spine of the scapula is approximately even with: The spinous processes of T3 and T4
The _________ ___________ is not a true joint; it is simply the spot where the concave scapula glides over the convex rib cage. There is no point of fixation. This allows for _________ and _________. Scapulothoracic Articulation / motion / flexibility
What is the shoulder girdle's ONLY direct attachment with the trunk? The sternoclavicular joint
What TYPE of joint is the sternoclavicular joint? A synovial, plane-shaped joint
Movement of the sternoclavicular joint occurs in how many planes? 3 planes
Motions that occur at the sternoclavicular joint: 1) elevation and depression 2) protraction and retration 3) rotation
This shoulder girdle joint has 3 major ligaments and a joint disk that acts and 'double hinge': sternoclavicular joint
This ligament REINFORCES THE JOINT CAPSULE of the sternoclavicular joint: The Anterior and Posterior Sternoclavicular Ligament
This ligament LIMITS CLAVICULAR ELEVATION: Costoclavicular Ligament
This ligament connects the sternal ends of the clavicles, LIMITING CLAVICULAR DEPRESSION: Interclavicular Ligament
Connects acromion process with lateral clavicle: Acromioclavicular joint
What type of joint is the acromioclavicular joint: synovial plane-shaped
Motions at the acromioclavicular joint: gliding motion that occurs in all 3 planes
What are the ligaments that support the Acromioclavicular joint? 1) Acromioclavicular ligament 2) Coracoclavicular ligament (2 parts) 3) Coracoacromial ligament
The ligament that provides a protective "roof" over the head of the humerus: Coracoacromial ligament
This reinforces the weak capsule of the acromioclavicular joint and prevents dislocation of the clavicle: Acromioclavicular ligament
This ligament is not directly at the acromioclavicular joint, but it PREVENTS BACKWARD ROTATION OF SCAPULA and LIMITS ROTATION: The Coracoclavicular ligament (2 parts: Trapezoid and Conoid
The lateral portion of the coracoclavicular ligament: Trapezoid portion
The medial portion of the coracoclavicular ligament: Conoid portion
This ligament provides support to the humeral head when an upward force is transmitted along the humerus: Coracoacromial Ligament
This portion of the sternum attaches to the clavicle and first rib: Manubrium
The ________ ________ acts as a shock absorber at the sternoclavicular joint. articular disk
The 'double hinge' motion at the sternoclavicular joint is provided by movement between the ________ and the _________, by movement between the _________ and the ________. the clavicle and the disk / the sternum and the disk
The ______ _______ at the sternoclavicular joint increases the size of the articular surface, which increases stability articular disk
The articular disk blocks _______ _______ of the clavicle on to sternum. medial movement
