ANATOMY OF THE SHOULDER

The shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The articulations between the bones of the shoulder make up the shoulder joints.
The joint cavity is cushioned by articular cartilage covering the head of the humerus and face of the glenoid.
The joint is stabilized by a ring of fibrous cartilage surrounding the glenoid called the labrum.

Four short muscles originate on the scapula and pass around the shoulder where their tendons fuse together to form the rotator cuff.
Two bursae cushion and protect the rotator cuff from the bony arch of the acromion and allow smooth movement of the joint- subacromial bursa and subdeltoid bursa.

JOINTS OF THE SHOULDER
There are 3 joints of the shoulder-
Glenohumeral joint
Acromioclavicular joint
Sternoclavicular joint

CAPSULE OF THE SHOULDER JOINT LIGAMENTS OF THE SHOLDER JOINT

MOVEMENTS OF THE SHOULDER
1. Abduction: 150 degrees
2. Adduction: 150-0 degrees
3. Forward flexion: 180 degrees
4. Extension: 45-60 degrees
5. Rotation (test with elbow flexed to 90 degrees) 1. External Rotation: 90 degrees 2. Internal rotation: 70-90 degrees

DEFINITION OF FROZEN SHOULDER
Frozen shoulder, medically referred to as adhesive capsulitis, is a disorder in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed and stiff, and grows together with abnormal bands of tissue, called adhesions, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain. A frozen shoulder is a shoulder joint with significant

    You also may have to get a steroid injection, which is a corticosteroid injection. This can be used depending on how much pain you are in. The last resort you may have to get surgery, if you have a big enough tear in the muscle. The best thing you can do is rest your shoulder and apply cold packs, which will help in the reduction of inflammation and pain. You can also take any type of aspirin or ibuprofen to help ease the pain.…

    (a.) In direct or fleshy attachments, the epimysium of the muscle is fused to the periosteum of a bone or perichondrium of a cartilage. In indirect attachments, the muscle’s connective tissue wrappings extend beyond the muscle either as a ropelike tendon or as a sheet like aponeurosis. The tendon or aponeurosis anchors the muscle to the connective tissue covering of a skeletal element (bone or cartilage) or to the fascia of other muscles. (b.) a tendon is a cord of dense fibrous tissue attaching muscle to the bone, and aponeurosis is fibrous or membranous sheet connecting a muscle and the part it moves.…

    A synovial joint also known as diarthrosis, joins bones with a fibrous joint capsule. It is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones, constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity, and surrounds the bone articular capsule. The articular capsule keeps the bones together structurally, and an inner layer, the synovial membrane, which seals the synovial fluid. Synovial cavity all diarthroses have the characteristic spaces between the bones that is filled with synovial fluid. Joint capsule the fibrous capsule surrounds the diarthrosis and unites the articulating bones. The joint capsule consists of two layers. The outer fibrous membrane that contains ligaments and the inner synovial membrane that secretes the lubricating, shock absorbing,…

    There are two main joints that the clavicle attaches to: the sternoclavicular joint and the acromioclavicular joint. The SC joint is extremely stable and does not encounter problems except for extreme trauma. The AC joint however, is much more loose in its structure and thus is more susceptible to injury. Focusing more on the AC joint, it is made up of three ligaments: acromioclavicular, coracoclavicular, and coracoacromial ligaments. These help stabilize the shoulder and scapula to keep the scapula tracking…

    Essay On Rotator Cuff

    • 1345 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that work together to stabilize the shoulder while connecting the humerus to the scapula. The four muscles include the Teres minor, Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, and Subscapularis. A cuff around the humerus is formed from the tendons of these four muscles. While lying below the scapular spine, the teres minor and infraspinatus muscles are in charge of externally rotating the shoulder. Teres minor is initiated more when the arm is abducted to 90 degrees while the infraspinatus acts when the arm is in neutral. The supraspinatus is in charge of initiating abduction and works during the whole range of abduction of the shoulder. This muscle also lies under the scapular plane. On the other hand, the subscapularis muscle is in charge of internal rotation of the shoulder. It is also the strongest and largest muscle of the rotator cuff. Tears to any of these muscles may result in a loss of function of the shoulder as well as excruciating pain for the patient.…

    A rotator cuff repair becomes necessary when a patient has unbearable pain, cannot sleep through the night, and has limited shoulder and arm mobility. The goal of this procedure is to reattach the torn muscles of the rotator cuff to the humerus. The rotator cuff is composed of four tendons that attach to the humerus and are continuous of four muscles that originate at the scapula. Each muscle has a name – supraspinatus, subscapularis, infraspinatus, and the teres minor, and any of these muscles can be damaged. “A rotator cuff tear usually occurs where the supraspinatus tendon inserts into the humerus. The injury can be superficial or can involve the entire tendon. Degenerative conditions,…

    One thing I left out in my response was about fixators. Basically, fixators are a type of synergist, that prevents movement at another joint. This allows for maximum movement of the main muscle. Basically at elbow flexion, the muscles of the scapula help keep it still due to the fixators (Martini and Nath 2009 p. 340). This allows for flexion to be isolated to the elbow.…

    Rotator Cuff Tendonitis/tears usually occur in people 30-80 years of age, and the weakness starts out in the shoulder as only mild to moderate. Rotator cuff tendonitis, also known as “impingement syndrome “occurs when the rotator cuff gets irritated. They say this issue is arises because rotator cuff weakness causes the humorous to ride up and pinch the cuff. A lot of the time there are no issue with tendons in this small space but “In some people this space becomes too…

    To get the athlete prepared to return to play from a shoulder dislocation after reduction, immobilization, and strength exercised are essential. After immobilization, strengthening is needed to make sure there will be no instability when the athletic/ patient returns to activity.(5) The foundation for all shoulder joint activity is due to a stable scapula. Muscle strengthening exercises to help with scapular control, include: scapular depressions (for the trapezius, and pectoralis minor), rows (for the rhomboids and middle trapezius), pushups with a plus and scapular punches ( for the serratus anterior), and shoulder girdle shrugs. To strengthen the rotator cuff muscles, exercises that incorporate internal rotation (for the subscapularis), external rotation (for the infraspinatus and teres minor), rowing , and scapular depression, should be added to allow the stability to be stronger. (5) These exercises should only be incorporated once the patient has been immobilized for at least 6 weeks. The exercises should gradually be brought in to the rehabilitation program. For first time dislocations, arthroscopic treatments has had the most favorable outcomes.(2) Even though technology has come a long way, the procedures still closely resemble open techniques. Although there are many techniques for shoulder dislocations, once a dislocation has occurred,…
