Method of Study for This Section (Applied Anatomy of the Musculoskeletal System) Read assigned readings of text Use the Dynamic Human CD-ROM and models and illustrations of the musculoskeletal system to help review structure of bones, joints, and muscles as necessary. This is the purpose of lab. Complete labs conscientiously and study models of articulated skeleton, shoulder, spine, and knee Lecture will only provide a selective review of structure, muscles & movements, and movement-related issues For exams, review lecture notes and understanding questions in both lecture and labs
Objectives of Upper Ext Unit Explain how anatomical structure affects movement capabilities on upper extremity articulations. Identify factors influencing the relative mobility and stability of upper extremity movements Identify muscles that are active during specific upper extremity movements Describe the biomechanical contributions, specific structures, and movement-related causes of common injuries of the upper extremity.

Upper Extremity – Chapter 7 Shoulder Girdle Structure:
Normal Rom of Shoulder girdle Sternoclavicular joint Protraction 15 deg, retraction 15 deg Elevation 45 deg, depression 15 deg Acromioclavicular joint All directions 20-30 deg
Muscles and Movement of Shoulder Girdle Illustrations on next three slides Trapezius (large, superficial medial and sup to scapulae) Upper portion - elevation, upward rotation Middle portion - adduction, or retraction Lower portion - depression, upward rotation Rhomboids - elevation, downward rotation, adduction, or retraction Serratus anterior (underneath scapulae) abduction, upward rotation Pectoralis minor (underneath pectoralis major) downward rotation, abduction, or protraction Levator Scapulae (underneath upper trapezius) elevation, downward rotation

Shoulder Joint Structure
Normal ROM of arm movements Flexion – (arm at side is 0 deg) 180 deg, hyperextension 60 deg Transverse flex (arm in front of chest is 0 deg) – 40 deg, transverse ext 90 deg Rotation(arm abducted, elbow bent to 90 deg, arm at right angles to trunk is 0 deg) Internal 90 deg, external 90 deg Abduction 180 deg
Shoulder Joint Stabilizers Stabilizers and rotators - Rotator cuff muscles – Teres minor - external rotation Infraspinatus - external rotation Supraspinatus - abduction Subscapularis - internal rotation
Shoulder Joint Primary Movers Anterior movers – Anterior deltoid, pectoralis major Superior movers - middle deltoid Posterior movers - posterior deltoid Inferior movers - latissimus dorsi, teres major, lower pectoralis m. Force vectors of muscles (see next slide)
Shoulder Jt Muscles
Movements of Shoulder Complex Every movement of upper extremity involves either stabilizing or accommodating action of the shoulder girdle. If carrying something in arms, scapular elevators are involved Arm elevation – scapular protraction and/or upward rotation (first 30°,1/5th is scapular movement; then 1/3rd scapular movement after that)
Shoulder Joint Impingement Syndrome What is it? Pain from shoulder area resulting from impingement of structures between humeral head, acromion, and coracromial arch. Three stages: Stage I - edema and hemorrhage of subacromial structures Stage II - tendon fibrosis and bursal thickening Stage III - rotator cuff tears, biceps tendon ruptures, and bone spurs II: III: I:
Causes of Sh Jt Impingement Primary impingement: Repeated movements requiring elevated and/or medially rotated humerus, compounded by weak rotator cuff muscles, causing: impingement of long head of biceps, supraspinatus Secondary Impingement: Decreased volume of subacromial space due to glenohumeral joint instability, and perhaps joint capsular tightness Structural abnormalities: hooked or curved acromion, calcium deposits, bone spurs, thickened bursa, thickened ligaments
Shoulder Jt Impingement (3) Treatment: Related to the cause - may involve surgery, rotator cuff strengthening, and flexibility exercises. Later, avoid humeral elevation and rotation movements.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Background Carpal tunnel includes median nerve and 9 flexor tendons ( 4 flex dig sup, 4 flex dig prof, 1 fl pol l)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (cont’d) Symptoms Pain in wrist area, or referred proximally or distally Tingling of thumb, fingers, or palmar side of hand Loss of control of muscles affected by median nerve blockage Causes Enlargement of tissues within tunnel Decreased size of tunnel Extraneous tissue in tunnel Treatment Related to cause Website on carpal tunnel syndrome (Click on “view eorthopod”, then “hand”, then “carpal tunnel syndrome” KIN 330 Biomechanics
