The Shoulder Joint Anatomy and Physiology of Human Movement 420:050
The Shoulder Joint Glenohumeral joint Very mobile but unstable Glenoid fossa Some ligaments Lax until extreme ROM Labrum and rotator cuff Relationship with shoulder girdle
Objectives Bones, bony landmarks and joints Muscles Movements
The Shoulder Joint Multiaxial ball and socket joint Able to rotate freely in all three planes Sagittal Frontal Transverse
Objectives Bones, bony landmarks and joint Muscles Movements
Deltoid
Pectoralis Major
Coracobrachialis
Latissimus Dorsi
Teres Major
Rotator Cuff Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres Minor Subscapularis
Rotator Cuff Small muscles Critical for shoulder health Dynamic stabilization Especially important during overhead repetitious activities
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Subscapularis
Objectives Bones, bony landmarks and joint Muscles Movements
Flexion Movement of humerus straight anteriorly Extension Movement of humerus straight posteriorly
Movements Abduction Upward lateral movement of humerus out to the side, away from body Adduction Downward movement of humerus medially toward body from abduction
Movements Horizontal adduction Movement of humerus in a horizontal or transverse plane toward & across chest Horizontal abduction Movement of humerus in a horizontal or transverse plane away from chest
Movements External rotation Movement of humerus laterally around its long axis away from midline Internal rotation Movement of humerus medially around its long axis toward midline
Movements Diagonal abduction Movement of humerus in a diagonal plane away from midline of body Diagonal adduction Movement of humerus in a diagonal plane toward midline of body
LINE OF PULL
FLEXION Superior movement of the humerus in the sagittal plane
Coracobrachialis
FLEXION
Anterior deltoid Pectoralis major (upper fibers) Coracobrachialis
EXTENSION Inferior movement of the humerus in the sagittal plane
Coracobrachialis
EXTENSION
Exception Pectoralis Major Lower Fibers Effective extensor from hyperflexed position
EXTENSION Latissimus dorsi Teres major Deltoid (posterior) Pectoralis major (lower fibers) From hyperflexed position
ABDUCTION Superolateral movement of the humerus in the frontal plane
?
ABDUCTION
The location of the line of pull in relation to the joint center determines the movement in this case Hamilton, N. & Luttgens, K. (2007). Kinesiology: Scientific basis of human motion (11 th ed.). McGraw-Hill: New York.
ABDUCTION Deltoid (all three) Pectoralis major (upper fibers) Abducted > 90 degrees
ADDUCTION Inferomedial movement of the humerus in the frontal plane
ADDUCTION
The location of the line of pull in relation to the joint center determines the movement in this case Hamilton, N. & Luttgens, K. (2007). Kinesiology: Scientific basis of human motion (11 th ed.). McGraw-Hill: New York.
ADDUCTION Latissimus dorsi Teres major Pectoralis major (lower fibers) Pectoralis major (upper fibers) Abducted < 90 degrees
HORIZONTAL ABDUCTION Movement of the humerus away from the midline of the body in the transverse plane
HORIZONTAL ABDUCTION
