OBJECTIVES
Identify and discuss the role of each of the following components of the shoulder Bony anatomy Joint articulations Static stabilizers Dynamic stabilizers
Identify and discuss common acute and chronic injuries associated with the shoulder
Joint Articulations
Glenohumeral joint
Acromioclavicular joint
Sternoclavicular joint
Scapulothoracic joint (not shown)
Acromioclavicular Joint (AC joint)
a gliding joint within the shoulder. This joint is specific to primates and humans, allowing for the ability to raise the arm above the head. This joint functions as a pivot point, acting like a strut to help with movement of the scapula resulting in a greater degree of arm rotation. Also, the AV joint allows for the transmission of force from the upper arm to the rest of the skeleton
Sternoclavicular Joint
The only true joint attaching the upper extremity to the axial skeleton

The Shoulder = glenohumeral jt
The glenohumeral joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for the arm to move in a circular rotation as well as movement of the arm towards and away from the body. The motion that the glenohumeral joint provides is flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.

Role of the Rotator Cuff
Hold the head of the humerus in the small and shallow glenoid fossa of the scapula. During elevation of the arm, the rotator cuff compresses the glenohumeral joint in order to allow the large deltoid muscle to further elevate the arm. In other words, without the rotator cuff, the humeral head would ride up partially out of the glenoid fossa and the efficiency of the deltoid muscle would be much less.

pinched between the humerus and the acromion and/or the coracoacromial ligament.
Shoulder Dislocation
Dislocation occurs when a bone is displaced from its original location
Usually involves damage to the joint capsule and the ligaments that hold the joint together
Signs and symptoms include: Joint looks awkward or deformed Joint is painful Joint is not useable
ANTERIOR DISLOCATION
Arm in abduction and external rotation. Force is taken on the hand or arm which increases the external rotation of the arm causing the head of the humerus to dislocate.
INFERIOR DISLOCATION
Arm is in excessive abduction and a force is taken on the hand pushing the head of the humerus inferiorly out of the glenoid.
POSTERIOR DISLOCATION
The arm is in flexion and adduction. Force is taken on the hand, causing the head of the humerus to be push out the glenoid posteriorly.
POSTERIOR DISLOCATION
The coracoid process may be prominent. The elbow will be at the side and the hand on the stomach. Attempting to turn the arm out causes shoulder pain.
For any dislocated shoulder, do not try to reduce the joint. Do not pull on the arm.
Try to immobilize as best you can (difficult).

Shoulder Separation
Separation: occurs when bones held together by fibrous ligaments tear and separate from each other.
There are several grades of separation depending on the severity of the torn ligaments
