Specific Functional
Considerations
 Stability Functions of Shoulder Girdle
 Mobility Functions of Shoulder Girdle
 Rotator Cuff Function
Stability Functions of Shoulder
Girdle
 Provides stable base from which
shoulder muscles can generate force



Shoulder girdle muscles as stabilizers
Maintain appropriate force-length
relationship
Maintain maximum congruence of shoulder
joint
Specific Functional
Considerations
 Stability Functions of Shoulder Girdle
 Mobility Functions of Shoulder Girdle
 Rotator Cuff Function
Mobility Functions of Shoulder
Girdle
 Permits largest ROM of any complex in
the body


Shoulder girdle increases ROM with less
compromise of stability (scapulohumeral
rhythm) (4 joints vs. 1 joint)
Facilitate movements of the upper
extremity by positioning GH favorably
Dynamic Stabilization
Mechanisms
 Passive muscle tension
 Compressive forces from muscle
contraction
 Joint motion that results in tightening of
passive structures
 Redirection of joint force toward center
of GH joint
Muscular Considerations
 Force-length relationships quite variable
due to multiple joints
 Tension development in agonist
frequently requires tension development
in antagonist to prevent dislocation of the
humeral head
 Force couple – 2 forces equal in
magnitude but opposite in direction

Intrinsic Risk Factors

 Overtraining
 Skeletal abnormalities
 Technique
 Warm-up
 Psychological factors
Technique
Technique refers to the movement pattern of an
individual during a particular movement or sequence of
movements. Good technique is a movement pattern
not only effective in performance, but also one that
minimizes risk of injury by appropriately distributing the
overall load throughout the kinetic chain. Poor
technique is characterized by inappropriate utilization
and summation of muscular effort and abnormal joint
movements, both of which result in localized overload
and, therefore, increased risk of injury.

Injury Potential in the
Shoulder Complex - Impacts
Sternoclavicular Joint

not commonly injured
 may sprain anteriorly if fall on
top of shoulder or middle delt pain in horizontal abd
 children may dislocate anteriorly
during throwing because of
increased joint mobility as
compared to adults
 posterior dislocation may occur
when force is applied to sternal
end of clavicle; serious because
of trachea, esophagus, and
blood vessels located
posteriorly
Clavicular Injuries

fx to any part due to direct
trauma
 fx to middle 1/3 can occur by
falling on shoulder, outstretched
arm, or direct trauma to
shoulder that transmits force
down shaft of clavicle
AC Injuries

dislocation from fall on shoulder,
fall on elbow or outstretched
arm
 overuse injuries from overhand
pattern (throwing, tennis,
swimming) or sports that
repeatedly load in the overhead
position (wrestling, wt lifting)
Glenohumeral Injuries
 Most common
dislocation in anterior
