Question
Answer
Scapulothoracic   Formed by the relevant bones & the muscles that attach to both scapula & thoracic skeleton  
🗑
Sternoclavicular   Checks med. clavicular dislocation, Serves as a pivot point for SC motion, "Base of Operation" joining the UE to axial skeleton, while contributing to mobility & withstanding imposed stresses  
🗑
Acromioclavicular   maintain the relation b/n clavicle & scapula in the early stages of elevation of the UE & to allow the scapula additional range of rotation on the thorax in the latter stages of limb elevation  
🗑
Glenohumeral   Closed packed position: ABd & ER, Capsule fibers twists & tightens  
🗑
Scapular winging   occurs as scapula moves around thoracic cage about a vertical axis (ABd / protraction)  
🗑
Tipping   must occur for the scapula to maintain contact w/rib cage during elevation or depression of scapula  
🗑
Ant & Post Sternoclavicular lig.   Anterior checks ant. mov’t of medial clavicle, Posterior checks post. mov’t, assist in preventing upward displacement of medial clavicle  
🗑
Costoclavicular (rhomboid) lig.   main check for elevation of lateral clavicle & superior glide of medial clavicle during elevation  
🗑
Interclavicular lig.   checks inferior glide, lateral displacement & depression of clavicle (protects vital structures)  
🗑
Acromioclavicular lig.   fairly weak; strengthens capsule superiorly  
🗑
Coracoclavicular lig.   Prevents superior dislocation & check depression & downward rotation of scapula  
🗑
Coracohumeral lig.   may prevent inferior subluxation of humeral head and limits ER in 0-60° of ABduction  
🗑
Transverse Humeral lig.   Converts groove into a canal for biceps L.H. Holds biceps L.H. tendon & sheath in place  
🗑
Glenohumeral lig.   stretched in anatomical position, prevents subluxation of humeral head in this position,stabilizes jt anteriorly, limits ER & anterior translation when arm b/n 0-90° of ABd.,most important static restraint  
🗑
