Shoulder Girdle/

Gelang Bahu
The Shoulder Girdle
 The scapula and clavicle
 Two joints
 Functions
 Dynamic stability
 Increased ROM

physiology, ed 7, New York, 2006, McGraw-Hill
Joints
 Shoulder girdle (scapulothoracic)
 Scapula moves on the rib cage
 Joint motion occurs at sternoclavicular joint & to a
lesser amount at the acromioclavicular joint
 Joints
 Sternoclavicular (SC)
 (Multiaxial) arthrodial/gliding
classification
 Movements
 Anteriorly with
protraction
 Posteriorly with
retraction
 Superiorly with
elevation
 Inferiorly with
depression
Joints
 Acromioclavicular (AC)
 Arthrodial/gliding
classification
 Movements
 Some gliding & rotational
motion accompanying
other shoulder girdle &
shoulder joint motions
 Often injured
Muscles
 Five muscles primarily involved in shoulder
girdle movements
 All originate on axial skeleton & insert on scapula
and/or clavicle
 Do not attach to humerus & do not cause
shoulder joint actions
 Functions:
 Stability
 ROM of shoulder joint
Shoulder Girdle Muscles
 Five muscles primarily
involved in shoulder
girdle movements
 Trapezius - upper,
middle, lower
 Rhomboid - deep
 Levator scapula
 Serratus anterior
 Pectoralis minor - deep

Muscles of the Pectoral Girdle and Upper
Limbs
Muscles associated with the pectoral girdle and
upper limbs can be divided into four groups:
 Muscles that position the pectoral girdle
 Muscles that move the arm
 Muscles that move the forearm and hand
 Muscles that move the hand and fingers

Movements
 Anterior tilt (upward tilt)

 Posterior tilt (downward tilt)

Movements
 Lateral tilt (outward tilt)

 Medial tilt (return from lateral tilt, inward tilt)

Movements
 Shoulder joint & shoulder girdle work together
 Shoulder girdle movement independent
 Upward/downward rotation
 Shoulder girdle muscles
 Stabilize scapula
 Enhance ROM of shoulder joint
