  1. Shoulder and Elbow Anatomy Sarah Rayner Extended Scope Practitioner Physiotherapist Dr Tim Hughes GPSI MSK Orthopaedic Services

  2. Surface Anatomy • Shoulder • Acromion (lateral border, post angle, ant edge) • AC joint line • Coracoid • Greater and lesser tuberosities • Insertions of supraspinatus, infraspinatus and suscapularis • Identify muscle bellies of supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor • Outline of the scapula • C4 and C5 dermatomes • Elbow • Head of the radius • Radio-humeral joint line • Ulner, median and radial nerve innervation of the skin • Lateral and medial epicondyles and common flexor and extensor origins • Insertion of biceps • C5/6 and 7 dermatomes

  3. Shoulder Anatomy With its 5 joints, 8 ligaments and 30 muscles, the shoulder complex presents a compromise between stability and mobility, and the result is that it is inherently unstable.

  4. Biomechanics of shoulder elevation • Humerus rotates about the scapula at the GH joint, the scapula rotates about the clavicle at the AC joint and the clavicle rotates about the sternum at the SC joint. • Normal movement required at all joints for full elevation to occur – efficient scapulo-humeral rhythm (Codman 1934). • Ratio GH to scapula movement 2:1

  5. Shoulder Muscles • Scapula Pivoters – (Trapezius, Serratus ant, Rhomboids, lev scap) • Glenohumeral protectors – (RC & LHB) • Humeral positioners – (deltoid) • Power Drivers (Teres major, pec major and lat dorsi)

  6. Rotator Cuff

  7. Shoulder Summary • Shoulder complex movement occurs through the GHJ, ACJ, SCJ and scapula-thoracic gliding mechanism. • Anatomical structures and neural mechanisms control the Shoulder complex allowing smooth synchronised pain free movement. • Shoulder function is significantly dependent on normal biomechanics. • Failure of any component may lead to abnormal function of the shoulder complex. • Understanding biomechanics – successful assessment and treatment planning.
