Shoulder Injuries
Chapter Objectives
• Understand the basic anatomy of the
shoulder.
• Explain how shoulder injuries occur.
• Describe the various types of injuries to
the shoulder.
• Explain treatment procedures fro
common shoulder injuries.
Anatomy
• Bones
• Humerus
• Clavicle
• Scapula
Humerus
Scapula
Clavicle
Anatomy
• Ligaments
• Coracoclavicular
Ligaments
• Trapezoid
• Conoid
• Acromioclavicular
ligament
• Corocoacromial
Muscles
• Rotator Cuff
• Subscapularis
• internal rotator
• Infraspinatus
• external rotator
• Teres Minor
• external rotator
• Supraspinatus
• primarily an abductor
of the arm
Muscles
• Deltoid
• Attaches to acromion
process and lateral
humerus
• 3 portions
• Anterior, posterior,
and medial
• Abducts, flexes, and
extends the shoulder
Muscles
• Pectoralis minor
• Pectoralis major
• Primarily
responsible for
horizontal adduction
and protraction
• Biceps brachii
Muscles
• 2 heads
• Originates at supraglenoid tubercle and corocoid process
• Inserts at radius
• Bicep tendon/bicipital groove
• Held in place by transverse ligament
• Flexes elbow, abducts and supinates forearm
Muscles
• Triceps brachii
• 3 heads-long, lateral, and medial
• Originate posterior humerus
• Insert at ulna
• Extend elbow, humeral adduction
Joints
• Acromioclavicular
(AC) joint
• One of most common
injured areas of
shoulder
• Consists of acromion
process and distal
clavicle
• Held together by the ac
ligament
Injured AC joint
Joints
• Glenohumeral joint
• Articulation of the humerus and glenoid
fossa
• Very susceptible to injury due to fossa
being shallow
• Humeral head covered with articular
cartilage
• Capsular ligament surrounds the entire
joint which aids in joint stability
Injuries- prevention
• Shoulder injury
causes
• Muscle weakness
• Postural problems
• Nature of the joint
Addressing muscular weakness
