Term
(JOINTS)

Scapula
Definition
Moves on rib cage
Term
Scapula
Definition
Joint motion occurs at STERNOCLAVICULAR join & to a lesser amount at the ACROMIOCLAVICULAR joint
Term
Sternoclavicular (SC)
Definition
Ligamentous support
Anteriorly by the anterior SC ligament
Posteriorly by the posterior SC ligament
Term
Castoclavicular & Interclavicular
Definition
Ligaments provide suability against superior displacement
Term
Acromioclavicular (AC)
Definition
Supported by:

Covacoclavicular ligaments
Superior acromioclavicular ligament
Inferior acromioclavicular ligament

*Often injured
Term
Scapulothoracic
Definition
Classified as synovial joint, although not a true synovial joint
Term
Scapulothoracic
Definition
Movement depends on SC & AC which allows the scapula to move

Supported dynamically by its muscles
- No ligamentous support
Term
Protraction (ABDUCTION)
Definition
Scapula moves laterally away from spinal column
Term
Retraction (ADDUCTION)
Definition
Scapula moves medially toward spinal column
Term
Protraction & Retraction
Definition
In transverse plane
Term
Upward rotation
Definition
Turning glenoid fossa upward and moving inferior angle superolaterally away from spinal column
Term
Downward rotation
Definition
Returning inferior angle inferomedially toward spinal column and glenoid fossa to normal position
Term
Elevation
Definition
Upward or superior movement, as in shrugging shoulders
Term
Upward & Downward Rotation
Definition
Frontal Plane
Term
Depression
Definition
Downward or inferior movement, as in returning to normal position
Term
Elevation & Depression
Definition
Frontal Plane
Term
Shoulder Girdle Muscles
Definition
Stabilize scapula

Contract to maintain scapula in a relatively static position

Contract to move shoulder girdle and to enhance movement of upper extremity
Term
Shoulder Girdle and Joint
Definition
Synergistic Relationship
Term
Scapular Muscles
Definition
_______________ Contract to move shoulder girdle so the glenoid fossa will be in a position from which the humerus can move
Term
Five
Definition
How many muscles primarily involved in shoulder girdle movement???
Term
5 Primary Muscles Involved in Shoulder Movement
Definition
All originate on axial skeleton

All insert on SCAPULA and or CALVICLE

Do not attach to humerus and do not cause shoulder joint actions

Provide dynamic stability of the scapula so it can serve as a base of support for shoulder joint activities
Term
5 Primary Muscles
Definition
Trapezius - upper, middle, lower

Rhomboid - Deep

Levator Scapula

Serratus Anterior

Pectoralis Minor - Deep
Term
Trapezius
Definition
Origin: Base of Skull, vertebrae (7-T12)
Term
Trapezius
Definition
Insertion: Clavicle, acromium process, scapular spine
Term
Levator Scapulae
Definition
Origin: C1-C4
Term
Levator Scapulae
Definition
Insertion: Superior, medial border of the scapula
Term
Levator Scapulae
Definition
Action: Scapular elevation & downward rotation
Term
Rhomboid Muscles - Major & Minor
Definition
Origin: C7-T5
Term
Rhomboid Muscles - Major & Minor
Definition
Insertion: Medial Scapula
Term
Rhomboid Muscles - Major & Minor
Definition
Action: Scapular retraction, downward rotation
Term
Serratus Anterior
Definition
Origin: Lateral ribs 1-8
Term
Serratus Anterior
Definition
Insertion: Coracoid process
Term
Serratus Anterior
Definition
Action: Scapular protraction, upward rotation
