co-contraction of surrounding mm. stabilizes scapula and prox. UE for closed-chain functional activities like gymnastics and rock-climbing scapular position and movement
maintains musckuloskeletal balance, promotes purposeful movement of shoulder, after sitting too long core mm. begin to fatigue leading to flexion of trunk as well as protraction and ant. scapular tilt upright posture of trunk and scapula
may lead to tightening of pectoralis major and minor as well as stretching and weakness of scapular stabilizers, exacerbating postural imbalance consistent slouching
compression of soft tissues between acromion and humeral head, can be caused by prolonged postural compromise, as scapula abducts and ant. tilts glenoid fossa and acromion are oriented down which narrows space increasing pressure and limiting mobility subacromial impingement
which repetitive movements may also contribute to impingement of the subacromial space abduction and internal rotation
compression of structures in the neck by the scalene mm.; OT interventions: postural education, workstation or task modification, and exercises or activities to counter-act the postural compromise and contribute to occupational performance thoracic outlet syndrome
humeral head partially dislocates inferiorly; can be caused by hemiparesis; result of instability, weakness, or paralysis; pull of gravity through humerus; painful strain of joint capsule glenohumeral subluxation
eventually the strain on the joint capsule may elongate ligamentous fibers of the capsule and allow humeral head to partially dislocate, can cause pain receptors to activate and cause considerable pain, orthotics or wheelchair trays may help subluxation
weakness of these mm. causes impingement because the humeral head migrates superiorly in fossa and compresses tissues against inferior acromion and AC ligament rotator cuff mm.
usually due to forceful loading of shoulder while elevated, risk increases with age as flexibility and m. mass decreases, may develop slowly due to friction over time or a single traumatic instance rotator cuff tear
most commonly dislocated joint, leads to instability, involves damage to labrum, common in sports, can require surgery, involves long head of biceps, rehab goal is functional stability, capsule and mm. are elongated, risk increased with previous one glenohumeral joint dislocation
can significantly limit function, possible in any synovial joint with repetitive use, shoulder replacement may be an option to restore function and mobility, requires activity modification or adaptive equipment (ex. reacher to compensate painful motion) osteoarthritis
