Rotator Cuff:
•
•
•
•

Rotator Cuff Function
•
•
•
Approximates
humerus to function
Supraspinatus
assists deltoid in
abduction
Subscapularis,
infraspinatus &
teres minor depress
humeral head
Subscapularis
•
•
Effective restraint to
ER with arm at side
Ineffective restraint
to ER with arm
abducted to 900
Turkel et. al. JBJS 1981
Infraspinatus/Teres Minor
•
•
Reduces strain on
anterior band of
IGHLC
“Hamstrings” of
glenohumeral joint
Cain et. al. AJSM 1987
Long Head of Biceps
•
•
•
Biceps tendon force
increases torsional
rigidity to ER
No effect on strain of
IGHLC
Effect lost with SLAP
lesion
Rodosky et. al. AJSM 1994
Biceps Becomes More Important
Anterior Stabilizer as
Capsuloligamentous Stability
Decreases

Supraspinatus/Posterior Cuff:
•
•

Massive Tear :
•
•
•

Subacromial Space
Structures Within Suprahumeral Space

Superior capsule
Supraspinatus tendon
Upper margins of
subscapularis &
infraspinatus tendons
Subacromial bursa
Inferior surface of A-C
joint
Subacromial Space
Clinical Relevance:
•
Avoidance of impingement during
elevation of arm requires:
•
•
external rotation of humerus to clear
greater tuberosity
upward rotation of scapula to elevate
lateral end of acromion
Subacromial Space
Clinical Relevance:
•
Primary impingement:
•
•
structural stenosis of subacromial space
Secondary impingement:
•
functional stenosis of subacromial space
due to abnormal arthrokinematics

Serratus anterior
Rhomboids
Levator scapulae

Subclavius
Scapulothoracic Motion
•
•
•
Elevation/depression
Protraction/retraction
Upward/downward
rotation
Force Couple at
Scapulothoracic Joint
•
•
Serratus anterior produces
anterio-lateral movement of
inferior angle
Upper trapezius pulls
scapula medially
Scapulohumeral Rhythm

Total elevation:
•
•
1200 at G-H joint
600 at S-T joint
Force Couple at
Scapulothoracic Joint
•
•
Serratus anterior produces
anterio-lateral movement of

Protraction/retraction
Elevation/depression
Axial rotation (spin)
Biomechanics of
Scapular Rotation
•
Scapulothoracic motion
occurs as part of closed
kinetic chain involving:
•
•
A-C joint
S-C joint
Scapular Rotation
Phase I
•
•
•
Upper & lower portions of
trapezius & serratus
anterior produce upward
rotatory force on scapula
Motion at A-C joint
prevented by
coracoclavicular ligament
Rotation of scapula
occurs as elevation of
clavicle at S-C joint
Scapular Rotation
Phase II
•
•
•
Further motion at S-C
joint prevented by
costoclavicular ligament
Continued upward
rotation of scapula pulls
on costoclavicular
ligament causing
posterior rotation of
clavicle
Posterior rotation of
clavicle allows further
upward rotation of
scapula
Scapular Rotation
Necessary to:
•
•
•
Enhance glenohumeral
stability
Elevate acromion to avoid
impingement
Maintain effective length
tension relationship of
scapulohumeral muscles
