207
Scaption (Movement)
-Scapula sits at an angle of approx. 45deg relative to the frontal and sagittal planes -Movement of the arm in this plane is termed scaption -There is less tension on the capsule and greater elevation is possible than with pure frontal or sagittal plane elevation -Neither internal nor external rotation of the humerus is needed to prevent impingement -Many functional activities occur in this plane
208
Scapulohumeral Rythm
-Abduction of the arm involves movement at the glenohumeral (GH) joint, the scapulothoracic (ST) articulation, the acromioclavicular (AC) Joint, and the sternoclavicular (SC) joint. -During normal abduction range , there is a specific relationship in the amount of movement at the GH joint, compared to the ST articulation. -0-15 deg: no movement of the scapula -15-120 deg: 2:1 ratio (GH:ST) -120-180 deg: 1:1 ratio (GH:ST) -Another way to look at it is that between 15 and 120 deg of abduction, for every 3 deg of movement, 2 deg comes from the GH and 1 deg comes from ST.
209
Biomechanics of Abduction
-During abduction of the humerus, the humerus must undergo external rotation (this usually happens around 90deg of abduction) -This helps the greater tubercle clear the coracoaromial arch (preventing impingement) -Note: how many structures are in a relatively small space
