SCAPULOHUMERAL RHYTHM
1. STERNOCLAVICULAR JOINT
*Articular Surfaces
-2 shallow saddle shaped surfaces
Medial end of clavicle
Notch of Manubrium sternum & 1st Costal cartilage
Sternoclavicular Disc –
Fibrocartilage disc
5. Interclavicular ligament
– Limits excessive depression of the distal clavicle and
Superior gliding of the medial clavicle on the manubrium
Sternoclavicular Motions:
Movements of Clavicle
Articular Surfaces:
Lateral end of Clavicle & Small facet on acromion of the Scapula
Acromioclavicular Joint – Ligaments
Movement at ST joint
AC joint movement /SC joint movement/Both
RESTING POSITION OF THE SCAPULA
Motions of the Scapula
*Concavity increased by
articular cartilage + GL
HEAD OF THE HUMERUS
– Anatomical resting position
When the arms hang at the side – the inferior surface of the
humeral head rests on only a small inferior portion of the
Glenoid fossa
HEAD OF THE HUMERUS – Angle of inclination
Posterior Torsion
Retrotorsion
Retroversion
Normal Retroversion of Head of Humerus
Reduced Retroversion / Anteversion of head of humerus
Increased Retroversion of head of humerus
GLENOID LABRUM
-Increases the total articular surface of the Glenoid fossa by
increasing the depth / concavity of the fossa by approx. 50%
FUNCTIONS
*Provides resistance to
humeral head translation
*Dissipation/spreading
of joint contact forces
Taut superiorly
Humeral abduction + ER
(Closed packed Positon)
GLENOHUMERAL LIGAMENTS:
1. Subacromial Bursa
2. Subdeltoid Bursa
Glenohumeral Motions: Osteokinematics & Arthrokinematics

*Supraspinatus
*Infraspinatus
*Teres Minor

*Long Head of Biceps brachii
Shoulder Complex Anatomy - Attachments and Actions
DELTOID
*Deltoid – a prime mover for GH Abduction [+ Supraspinatus]
– Not effective
Rotation
HOW ARM ELEVATION IS BEEN ACHIVED???
?????
ROTATOR CUFF
Rotator Cuff – Muscle force vectors
Resolution of RCM Force Vectors
*Fy ITS – Perpendicular force component
Cause some Humeral rotation
Compresses the head of the humerus into the Glenoid fossa
Additional:
Teres Minor + Infraspinatus – Lateral Rotation of Humerus
Subscapularis - Medial Rotation of Humerus
The action of the deltoid
and
the combined actions of
the Infraspinatus, Teres minor, and Subscapularis muscles
approximate a force couple
The nearly equal and opposite forces for the deltoid and these
three rotator cuff muscles acting on the humerus approximate an
almost perfect rotation of the humeral head around a relatively
stable axis of rotation
*Supraspinatus:
*FOG
*Force of the prime movers - Dynamic
*Force of the muscle stabilizers
*Articular Surface Geometry
*Passive Capsule + Ligaments Forces
*Force of Friction
*Joint Reaction Forces

and
during the middle range,
act to externally rotate for clearing greater tubercle
under coracoacromial arch.
*When the trapezius is intact and the Serratus anterior muscle is paralyzed
active abduction of the arm can occur through its full range,
although it is weakened.
These two muscles are also synergists for the deltoid during
abduction at the GH joint.
