Objectives • Name the three articulations that constitute the shoulder girdle complex. • Describe how stability of the shoulder is maintained. • Recite the names of the four muscles that come together to form the rotator cuff. • Explain the anatomy of the shoulder complex. • Identify major injuries and conditions of the shoulder.
Anatomy • Ball and socket joint • most mobile joint in the body • Humerus • Clavicle- collar bone • Scapula- shoulder blade • Acromion process • Coracoid process
Joints and Movements • Flexion • Extension • Abduction • Adduction • Internal Rotation • External Roation • Elevation/Depression • Protraction/Retraction • Glenohumeral Joint- the actual shoulder joint • Acromioclavicular Joint • Sternoclavicular Joint • Scapulothoracic Joint
Shoulder Flexion • PectoralisMajor • Coracobrachialis • Biceps brachii • Brachialis • anterior fibers of deltoid
Shoulder Extension • latissimusdorsi • teres major • long head of triceps • posterior fibers of the deltoid
Shoulder Abduction • True abduction: supraspinatus (first 15 degrees), deltoid • Upward rotation: trapezius, serratus anterior
Shoulder Adduction • Downward rotation: pectoralis minor, pectoralis major, latissimusdorsi • True Adduction: same as downward rotation with addition of teres major and the lowest fibers of the deltoid
Internal Rotation • Subscapularis • Latissimusdorsi • Teres major • Pectoralis major • Anterior fibers of deltoid
External Rotation • Infraspinatus • Teres minor • Posterior fibers of deltoid
Elevation/Depression • Depression • pectoralisminor • lower fibers of the trapezius • subclavius • latissimusdorsi • Elevation • levatorscapulae • the upper fibers of the trapezius
Protraction/Retraction • Retraction • rhomboid major and minor • trapezius • Protraction • serratusanterior • pectoralisminor and major
Rotator Cuff • Supraspinatus • Infraspinatus • Teres Minor • Subscapularis
Muscle Force Couple • Two equal forces acting in opposite directions to rotate a part around its axis • During shoulder abduction, the rotator cuff is pulling down on the humeral head while the deltoid is lifting the arm.
Muscle Weakness • Most athletes have strong anterior shoulder muscles but weak posterior shoulder muscles • This imbalance causes forward shoulder and other shoulder injuries
