KINESIOLOGY 2012 TCCD MASSAGE THERAPY PROGRAM
GOALS: Define the key terms of this chapter and state the meanings of the word origins of this chapter.
Describe why the term shoulder corset might be a better term than shoulder girdle.
Explain why the term shoulder joint complex is a better term than shoulder joint when describing movement of the shoulder. Describe the concepts of mobility and stability as they pertain to the glenohumeral joint, and explain why the glenohumeral joint is often called a muscular joint.
Explain why the scapulocostal joint is considered to be a functional joint, not an anatomic joint.
Describe why the sternoclavicular joint can be classified as either biaxial or triaxial.
Explain why stabilization of the sternoclavicular joint is important toward proper functioning of the upper extremity.
Describe the importance of acromioclavicular joint motion to motion of the shoulder girdle.

Major motions:
Protraction/retraction Elevation/depression Upward/downward rotation
● The sternoclavicular joint actually permits motion in three planes about three axes; therefore it could also be classified as triaxial. Why, then, is it most often classified as biaxial?
It is most often classified as being biaxial because (similar to the saddle joint of the thumb) its rotation actions cannot be isolated.

● This figure illustrates upward rotation of the right clavicle at the sternoclavicular joint. What position is the left clavicle in?
The left clavicle is in anatomic position, which is full downward rotation. ● Upward rotation of the clavicle cannot be isolated. In this figure the arm is
abducted at the shoulder joint, resulting in the scapula upwardly rotating, which results in upward rotation of the clavicle at the sternoclavicular joint.

Sagittal plane actions Frontal plane actions
Transverse plane actions Other coupled actions
● Scapulohumeral rhythm is the coupled joint actions of the arm, scapula, and clavicle.
● Of all aspects of scapulohumeral rhythm, the most well researched and published motion is frontal plane abduction of the arm.
● In each plane and in other coupled movements, the coupled action of the scapula facilitates further movement of the arm in the direction it is moving. The scapula usually begins to move before the arm moves as much as it can; from that point onward, motion is a combination of arm and shoulder girdle movements.

Figure 9-19a illustrates a right arm that has been abducted relative to the trunk 180 degrees. Figure 9-19b shows that of the 180 degrees of abduction of the arm relative to the trunk, only 120 degrees of that motion is the result of abduction of the arm at the GH joint.
● The remaining 60 degrees of motion are the result of what action? They are the result of the upward rotation of the scapula at the
scapulocostal joint.

● The reverse action is that the arm can move relative to the forearm at the elbow joint.
● What are some examples of this reverse action?
Pull-ups, using a banister to go upstairs, handicap bars, and using oars in a canoe are all common examples of this reverse action.
● The closed-packed position of the elbow joint is extension.
● The medial collateral ligament is also known as the ulnar collateral ligament. The lateral collateral ligament is also called the radial collateral ligament.

Carpal Tunnel ● What is the carpal tunnel and where is it located?
The carpal tunnel is a tunnel formed by the arrangement of the carpal bones. It is between the archlike transverse concavity of the carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament that spans across the top of the carpal bones. ● The carpal tunnel provides a safe passageway for the median nerve and distal tendons of the extrinsic finger flexor muscles to enter the hand. ● Carpal tunnel syndrome is a result of the impingement of the median nerve due to injury or overuse.
