Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together

front 30

Glenohumeral Joint

back 30

  • Glenohumeral (GH) + ST = large AROM
  • glenoid is directed anterolaterally in the plane of the scapula and with upward inclination
    • => to keep humerus in as much contact as possible

front 31

#Glenohumeral Joint: Fibrous capsule

back 31

  • GHJ is surrounded by a fibrous capsule
  • volume of capsule = 2x the side of the humeral head( Axillary pouch =large ROM)
  • fibrous capsule is thin, = reinforced by thicker external ligaments
    • stability of the GHJ is not from passive structures = from active ones (muscles)

back 45

front 46

why is the clavicle curvy?

back 46

  • AC joint party location
    • serratus muscle pulls up = coracoclavicular ligament is pulled tight
      • creates tension + rotates clavicle posteriorly (back) => allows AC joint to full upward rotation
