Kinesiology of the Upper Extremity Instructor’s Manual Chapter 8 Kinesiology of the Upper Extremity UNIT 1: SHOULDER UNIT: THE SHOULDER COMPLEX STRUCTURE OF THE BONES OF THE SHOULDER COMPLEX Consists of the clavicle, scapula, and humerus and is affected by the sternum and thorax Clavicle Functions as strut Several important landmarks Articular surfaces differ from one another, but both are covered by fibrocartilage. Scapula Provides site for muscle attachment Several important landmarks Orientation of glenoid fossa depends on frame of reference and posture Plane of scapula is 30–45° from frontal plane Rotation of the scapula about an AP axis is upward (lateral) or downward (medial). At rest, the scapula typically tilts anteriorly approximately 10° about a medial–lateral axis. Proximal Humerus Head of humerus projects medially, superiorly, and posteriorly and is approximately half a sphere Several important landmarks Sternum and Thorax Sternum provides attachment to axioskeleton, and the shape of the thorax helps define the motion of scapula. Several palpable landmarks of shoulder\ STRUCTURE OF THE JOINTS AND SUPPORTING STRUCTURES OF THE SHOULDER COMPLEX Shoulder complex consists of sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic, and glenohumeral joints; all but the scapulothoracic are synovial Sternoclavicular Joint Triaxial Oatis C. Kinesiology: The Mechanics and Pathomechanics of Human Movement, 3rd ed. © 2017 Wolters Kluwer Instructor’s Manual Chapter 8 Articular surfaces provide little stability. Supporting structures: relatively weak capsule, anterior and posterior SC ligaments, interclavicular ligament, costoclavicular ligament, and intra-articular disk. Joint is well supported, so dislocation is less common than fracture Motion: elevation and depression, protraction and retraction, and posterior ( upward) and anterior ( downward) rotation Acromioclavicular Joint Gliding joint Supporting structures: capsule, superior and inferior AC ligaments, and the coracoclavicular ligament, particularly the trapezoid portion that prevents medial displacement of the scapula. Gliding motion that is sometimes described as rotation about three axes Allows variable movement of the clavicle and scapula Scapulothoracic Joint Lacks traditional components of a joint Allows elevation and depression, abduction and adduction, upward and downward rotation, anterior and posterior scapular tilt, and internal and external rotation. Glenohumeral Joint Ball-and-socket, triaxial joint Congruent articular surfaces of unequal size allow considerable mobility but little stability. SUPPORTING STRUCTURES OF THE GLENOHUMERAL JOINT Include the labrum, capsule, three glenohumeral ligaments, coracohumeral ligament, and surrounding muscles Labrum deepens the glenoid fossa and is highly variable. Capsuloligamentous complex consists of the capsule and reinforcing ligaments. Capsule is lax, especially inferiorly. Glenohumeral ligaments prevent excessive lateral rotation and excessive anterior translation of the humeral head, especially when pulled taut by lateral rotation of the shoulder. Inferior glenohumeral ligament provides most of the resistance to translation when the shoulder is abducted beyond midrange. Posterior capsule limits excessive posterior translation. Protection against inferior dislocation comes from the coracohumeral and perhaps the superior or inferior glenohumeral ligaments. Intra-articular joint pressure also stabilizes the glenohumeral joint. Muscles provide additional stability. MOTIONS OF THE GLENOHUMERAL JOINT Undergoes flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and medial/lateral rotation Abduction occurs with lateral rotation and flexion also occurs with simultaneous rotation. The direction of this rotation is unclear, but these rotations are necessary to help preserve the subcromial space. Translation accompanies glenohumeral rotations. These translations are not consistent with the concave–convex rule: slight superior glide followed by no or less inferior glide in flexion or abduction; anterior translation with medial rotation and abduction; and posterior translation with extension and lateral rotation. Glenohumeral ROM: 100–120° of flexion and abduction, 70–90° of medial and lateral rotation Other joints of the shoulder complex can substitute for glenohumeral joint motion. Oatis C. Kinesiology: The Mechanics and Pathomechanics of Human Movement, 3rd ed. © 2017 Wolters Kluwer Instructor’s Manual Chapter 8 TOTAL SHOULDER MOVEMENT Shoulder motion is measured as the displacement of the arm with respect to the trunk and therefore is also known as arm– trunk motion. Motion comes from all four joints of the shoulder complex. Movement of the Scapula and Humerus during Arm–Trunk Elevation Scapulohumeral rhythm indicates the proportion of glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joint motion in shoulder motion. In active shoulder flexion or abduction, the glenohumeral joint contributes most of the motion. Scapulothoracic joint rotates upwardly and externally and tilts posteriorly during flexion and abduction. Scapulothoracic and glenohumeral joints move simultaneously throughout the motion. Humerus and scapula move in a coordinated and systematic rhythm. Exact ratio of scapulothoracic and glenohumeral joint motion may vary with plane of movement and location within the ROM. Likely significant variability among individuals Sternoclavicular and Acromioclavicular Motion during Arm-Trunk Elevation Sternoclavicular joint elevates approximately 40° with full flexion or abduction. Sternoclavicular joint undergoes upward rotation flexion and abduction. Acromioclavicular joint undergoes motion to allow the clavicle and scapula to move independently. Impairments in Individual Joints and Their Effects on Shoulder Motion Impairments in mobility can affect any of the four joints of the shoulder complex. LOSS OF GLENOHUMERAL OR SCALPULOTHORACIC JOINT MOTION Absence of glenohumeral motion results in 50–65% loss in overall shoulder flexion and abduction and the loss of all normal shoulder rotation ROM. Absence of scapulothoracic motion results in up to one third of shoulder flexion and abduction ROM. Active shoulder flexion and abduction ROM may be reduced by 90° as the result of active insufficiency of the glenohumeral muscles. LOSS OF STERNOCLAVICULAR OR ACROMIOCLAVICULAR JOINT MOTION Loss of sternoclavicular or acromioclavicular joint motion affects the ability of the scapulothoracic joint to move, resulting in losses up to (but usually less than) 60 of shoulder flexion or abduction.

  • Considered a Bone of Both Shoulder Girdle and Shoulder Joint. the Shoulder Girdle Is Comprised of the Clavicle and the Scapula
    Considered a bone of both shoulder girdle and shoulder joint. The shoulder girdle is comprised of the clavicle and the scapula. The shoulder joint consists of the scapula and the humerus. The primary function of the shoulder girdle is to position itself to accommodate movements of the shoulder joint. 1 Superior angle—top point Inferior angle—bottom point Vertebral border—side closest to vertebral column Axillary border—side closest to arm Subscapular fossa—anterior fossa Glenoid fossa, glenoid labrum, glenoid cavity --The glenoid fossa is the shallow cavity where the humeral head goes. The glenoid labrum is the cartilage that goes around the glenoid fossa. So the glenoid fossa and glenoid labrum together comprise the glenoid cavity. Supraspinous fossa—posterior, fossa above the spine Spine of the scapula—the back projection Infraspinous fossa—posterior depression/fossa below spine Coracoid process—anterior projection head Acromion process—posterior projection head above spine 2 Scapulothoracic “joint” = NOT a true joint; there are no ligaments or articular capsule. The scapula just rests on the muscle over top the rib cage, which allows for passive movements. Sternoclavicular joint=where the clavicle (collarbone) and the sternum (breastbone) articulate; movement is slight in all directions and of a gliding, rotational type Acromioclavicular joint = where the clavicle and scapula (acromion process) articulate; AKA: AC Joint; movement is a slight gliding when elevation and depression take place. Glenohumeral joint = the shoulder joint 3 4 All 3 true joints: Sternoclavicular, AC and glenohumeral (GH) all work together to move arm in all directions. The GH allows the arm to go out to the side and be abducted, then the AC and Sternoclavicular joints kick in to allow the arm to go above shoulder level by allowing the shoulderblade to move up to increase the range of motion (ROM).

Paraskevas Department of Anatomy, Medical School, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece [Received 24 January 2011; Accepted 22 March 2011] A high concern exists among physicians about surgically important ligaments such as cruciate and collateral ligaments of the knee, patellar ligament, tibiofibular syndesmosis, collateral ligaments of the ankle, and coracoclavicular ligament. However, the classification of the ligaments is insufficient in the literature, due to their origin from connective tissue. A new classification is proposed, based on various parameters such as the macroscopic and microscopic features, the function and the nature of their attachment areas.

  • Coracohumeral Ligament Reconstruction for Patients with Multidirectional Shoulder Instability Zachary S
    Technical Note Coracohumeral Ligament Reconstruction for Patients With Multidirectional Shoulder Instability Zachary S. Aman, B.A., Liam A. Peebles, B.A., Daniel Shubert, M.D., Petar Golijanin, B.S., Travis J. Dekker, M.D., and CAPT Matthew T. Provencher, M.D., MC, USNR Abstract: Coracohumeral ligament pathology arises from acute trauma, capsular thickening, or congenital connective tissue disorders within the glenohumeral joint. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of this pathology in multidirectional shoulder instability because insufficiency of the rotator interval has become increasingly recognized and attributed to failed shoulder stabilization procedures. The diagnosis and subsequent treatment of coracohumeral ligament pathology can be challenging, however, because patients usually present with a history of failed surgical stabilization and persistent laxity. At the time of presentation, most patients have undergone failed nonoperative treatments and are indicated for surgical intervention. One of the options for the treatment of coracohumeral ligament pathology is recon- struction. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred surgical technique for the reconstruction of the coracohumeral ligament. Research was performed at the Steadman Philippon Research Institute. ultidirectional instability (MDI) affecting the surgical intervention and historically has led to poor Mglenohumeral joint was initially defined as outcomes.7-10 instability in 2 or more directions1,2 and has long been a For these patients, surgery consisting of capsular shift challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon.

  • The Importance of the Clavicle Biomechanics in the Shoulder Movement
    Health, Sports & Rehabilitation Medicine Vol. 21, no. 2, April-June 2020, 93–96 REVIEWS The importance of the clavicle biomechanics in the shoulder movement László Irsay1,2, Adela Raluca Nistor2, Alina Ciubean1, Ileana Monica Borda1,2, Rodica Ungur1,2, Ioan Onac1,2,Viorela Ciortea1,2 1 “Iuliu Hatieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy Cluj-Napoca, Romania 2 Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital Cluj-Napoca, Romania Abstract The sternoclavicular joint (SC) provides the attachment belt for the upper limb. It is the only direct joint that attaches the upper limb to the trunk. Practically, the clavicle moves while the sternum remains fixed. The SC joint is an important fulcrum for the movement of the shoulder girdle. The disc and ligaments of the SC joint offer such an effective support that the dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint is rare. The acromioclavicular joint (AC) connects the acromial process of the scapula and the clavicle. The movements of the AC joint are minimal, but crucial for the normal shoulder motion. In clinical practice, the movement of the clavicle is often neglected. This movement occurs in 3 planes; the integrity of these movement planes is essential in the complex motion of the arm. Any disturbance in the normal movement of the clavicle will automatically limit the range of motion of the arm, especially the abduction. The researchers consider that, from the practical point of view, the knowledge regarding the biomechanics of the clavicle is critical, since any limitation of the mobility of the shoulder can shroud a pathology that can block the mobility of the clavicle. Keywords: sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint, shoulder.
