    Scapulothoracic Joint (ST)

    ST Joint Motions

    The ST joint allows for several movements including: elevation/depression, upward/downward rotation, anterior/posterior tipping, internal/external rotation, and adduction/abduction (protraction/retraction).

    Scapulohumeral Rhythm

    The coordinated movement between the GH joint and the ST joint during shoulder elevation. For every 2 degrees of GH joint elevation, there's 1 degree of upward rotation at the ST joint.

    Early Phase of Scapulohumeral Rhythm

    The 2:1 ratio of GH to ST movement is not strictly followed in the initial stages of shoulder elevation (0-30 degrees).

    Stable Phase of Scapulohumeral Rhythm

    After 30-60 degrees of shoulder elevation, the scapula stabilizes, and the 2:1 ratio is more consistently maintained.

    Sternoclavicular Joint (SC)

    SC Joint Contribution to Scapulohumeral Rhythm

    The SC joint helps regulate the overall movement of the scapula, contributing to its position and stability during scapulohumeral rhythm.

    Why is ST joint important for GH joint function?

    The ST joint's motion is crucial for achieving full range of motion at the GH joint. If the ST joint doesn't move, the GH joint won't be able to reach its full potential.

    Study Notes

    PTH 151 - Unit 5 Lab #1A - UE Joints

    • Reference: Clinical Mechanics and Kinesiology Chapter 10 (pages 173-211), Muscle Manual (pages 188-225)

    Shoulder Joint Complex

    • Bones: Humerus, Scapula, Clavicle

    Joints

    • Glenohumeral Joint (GHJ): Also known as the shoulder joint
      • Articulating Surfaces: Proximal - glenoid fossa of scapula; Distal - humeral head
      • Ligaments:
        • Superior Glenohumeral Ligament: Thickening of anterior joint capsule
        • Middle Glenohumeral Ligament: Thickening of anterior joint capsule
        • Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament: Thickening of anterior and inferior joint capsule
        • Coracohumeral Ligament: Runs between coracoid process and greater tubercle; prevents anterior and inferior subluxation of humeral head

    Scapulothoracic Joint (ST Joint)

    • Articulating Surfaces: Anterior aspect of scapula, posterior aspect of rib cage
    • Ligaments: None
    • Motions: Elevation/Depression, upward and downward rotation, anterior/posterior tipping, IR/ER, adduction/abduction (protraction/retraction)
    • Miscellaneous: Considered a pseudo-joint; ST motion occurs simultaneously with AC or SC joint motion; relationship between ST and GH motion known as scapulohumeral rhythm (for every 2 degrees of GH abduction/flexion, 1 degree of upward rotation occurs at ST joint)

    Sternoclavicular Joint (SC Joint)

    • Articulating Surfaces: Proximal (medial) - manubrium of sternum; Distal (lateral) - medial end of clavicle
    • Ligaments: Anterior sternoclavicular ligament, posterior sternoclavicular ligament, interclavicular ligament, costoclavicular ligament
    • Motions: Elevation/Depression, posterior/anterior rotation, protraction/retraction
    • Miscellaneous: The only osseous joint that connects the UE to the axial skeleton; fibrocartilaginous disc within the joint improves joint congruence

    Acromioclavicular Joint (AC Joint)

    • Articulating Surfaces: Proximal (medial) - lateral end of clavicle; Distal (lateral) - acromion process of scapula
    • Ligaments: Acromioclavicular ligament, coracoclavicular ligament (trapezoid and conoid)
    • Motions: Scapular IR/ER, posterior/anterior tipping, upward/downward rotation
    • Miscellaneous: Fibrocartilaginous disc often present to improve joint congruence; common site for separation injuries

    SC & AC Joint Contributions to Scapulohumeral Rhythm

    • Neumann (2022) divides shoulder elevation into early and late phases (each 90 degrees)
    • Early phase: 60 degrees from humerus, 30 degrees from scapular rotation
    • Late phase: 60 degrees from humerus, 30 degrees from scapular rotation; additional 20-25 degrees at the AC joint
