Flashcards
Glenohumeral Joint
Glenohumeral Joint
A ball-and-socket joint formed by the humeral head and glenoid cavity, it allows for a wide range of motion.
Scapulothoracic Joint
Scapulothoracic Joint
A 'fake' joint where the scapula slides on the chest wall, helping to move the shoulder.
Acromioclavicular Joint
Acromioclavicular Joint
A joint formed by the clavicle and the acromion process of the scapula, allowing for limited movement.

Study Notes
Shoulder Joint Complex: Anatomical Considerations
- Glenohumeral Joint: A ball-and-socket joint (enarthrodial) formed by the humeral head and glenoid cavity.
- Scapulothoracic Joint: A false joint, not a true synovial joint, allowing for scapula movement on the thorax.
- Acromioclavicular Joint: A plane joint (arthrodial) linking the acromion and clavicle.
- Sternoclavicular Joint: Links the clavicle, manubrium of the sternum, and the first rib.
- Subacromial/Subdeltoid Joint: A false joint, not a true synovial joint between the deltoid muscle and the supraspinatus tendon.
Range of Motion
- Flexion: 180 degrees
- Extension: 45-50 degrees
- Abduction: 180 degrees
- Adduction: 30-45 degrees
- Internal Rotation: 90 degrees
- External Rotation: 90 degrees
Main Shoulder Muscles
- Biceps brachii: Shoulder flexion
- Trapezius: Scapular rotation
- Pectoralis major: Shoulder flexion, adduction, internal rotation
- Deltoid: Anterior (flexion, internal rotation), Middle (abduction), Posterior (extension, external rotation)
- Subscapularis: Shoulder abduction, internal rotation
- Supraspinatus: Shoulder abduction, external rotation
- Infraspinatus: Shoulder external rotation
- Teres major: Shoulder extension, adduction, internal rotation
- Teres minor: Shoulder adduction, external rotation
Tests
- Ball Abduction External Rotation Test: Evaluates rotator cuff strength by having the patient lift a ball while the elbow is in a flexed position. Significant weakness is revealed in the rotator cuff muscles.
- Drop Catches: Assesses reaction time and internal rotation range of motion. Reduced repetitions indicate issues with reaction speed or internal rotation.
- Ball Taps: Evaluates shoulder stability. Decreased repetitions suggest stability problems.
- Overhead Snatch Test: Measures shoulder muscle strength during dynamic movement. Fewer repetitions indicate weakness.
- Push-up Claps: Assesses stability and strength. Reduced repetitions reveal issues with stability and strength.
- Line Hops: Assesses mobility and stability, lower repetition suggests a lack of mobility and lack of stability.
- Side Hold Rotation: Assesses shoulder mobility and stability during a side plank. Fewer repetitions reveal problems in mobility and stability.
- Modified Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (MCKUES): Evaluates stability in a push-up position with various hand positions. Fewer successful repetitions indicate stability issues.
