Introduction to the Shoulder Complex

Shoulder girdle + shoulder joint = shoulder complex

Shoulder girdle: Scapula, clavicle and articulations

Shoulder joint: Humeral head and glenoid fossa of

scapula

Anterior/posterior connections?

Same/different than hip girdle?

Articulations of the Shoulder Complex

Shoulder girdle: Acromioclavicular joint Sternoclavicular joint

Shoulder joint

Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint

Joint classification: Diarthrodial nonaxial

Joint structure: Ligamentous reinforcement Fibrocartilage disk

Joint function: Rotation about 3 cardinal planes

Gliding in which plane?

Rotation in which plane?

Rotation in which plane?

Rotation in which plane?

Sternoclavicular (SC) Joint Joint classification: Diarthrodial nonaxial Joint structure:

Ligamentous reinforcement Fibrocartilage disk Subclavius

Joint function: SC joint moves in response to AC joint

movement Movements?

SC Joint

AC elevation SC elevation AC depression SC depression AC protraction SC protraction +

anterior rotation AC retraction SC retraction +

posterior rotation

Shoulder Joint Joint classification: Diarthrodial

multiaxial ball and socket Joint structure:

Lax joint capsule Limited ligamentous support Shallow glenoid fossa Minimal muscular reinforcement

Rotator cuff Bursae

Joint function: Great mobility Poor stability

Scapulohumeral rhythm

Scapulohumeral Rhythm As the shoulder joint moves, the

shoulder girdle also moves greater ROM

Scapulohumeral Rhythm Abduction/Flexion of shoulder joint

AC = Up Rot., SC = Post Rot., elevation Adduction/Extension of shoulder joint

AC = Down Rot., SC = Ant Rot, depression Hyperextension of shoulder joint

AC = Up tilt, elevation, SC = Ant Rot, elevation External rotation of humeral joint

AC = Retraction, SC = Minimal retraction Internal rotation of humeral joint

AC = Protraction, SC = Minimal protraction Horizontal adduction of humeral joint

AC = Protraction, SC = Protraction Horizontal abduction of humeral joint

AC = Retraction, SC = Retraction
