About Shoulder, Elbow and Upper Limb

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This unit collects community-made material on the shoulder, elbow and upper limb. Most of it is mind maps, which range from broad overviews to single conditions. You will also find flashcard decks, a small set of quizzes, a couple of notes and two flowcharts.

The anatomy material is the base. The Shoulder Complex mind map sets out the shoulder joint, the scapulothoracic articulation, the glenohumeral, sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints, and ranges of motion. Glenohumeral Joint goes into the rotator cuff, with origins and insertions. The Shoulder Girdle Muscles deck lists the rhomboids, serratus anterior, the trapezius fibres and levator scapulae.

Where to start

Begin with structure, then move to problems. A sensible order is:

Open the Shoulder Complex mind map to see the joints and movements together.
Read Glenohumeral Joint for the rotator cuff muscles.
Go through Shoulder Girdle Muscles as flashcards.
Move on to conditions such as impingement, rotator cuff tears, SLAP injuries and instability.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself. The Adhesive Capsulitis quiz asks what describes each stage of the condition, so it works well after the Frozen Shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) mind map. The Glenohumeral Special Tests quiz pairs with the Special Tests deck, which lists the Hawkins-Kennedy, Neer, Empty Can, Speed's, Drop Arm and Lift Off tests, among others.

Where a quiz answer surprises you, return to the matching map and look at that branch again. Then retake the quiz. The Impingement syndrome and Rotator Cuff Disease quiz is a good check once you have covered the conditions.

Where this unit fits

This unit sits in the Musculoskeletal and Sports Rehabilitation strand of Physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Its focus is the upper limb: shoulder girdle, glenohumeral joint, common injuries, and some elbow and nerve material, such as the Radial nerve deck.

Because contributors made these resources for their own courses, titles and depth vary. Skim a few on the same topic and keep the ones that suit how you study. When you're ready, choose one condition and work through its map, deck and quiz in turn.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Shoulder Complex mind map. It lays out the shoulder joint, the scapulothoracic articulation and the glenohumeral, sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints, along with ranges of motion. Once that is clear, the Glenohumeral Joint mind map adds the rotator cuff, and the Shoulder Girdle Muscles deck covers the scapular muscles.

What do the quizzes cover?

The quizzes are a small set. They include Adhesive Capsulitis, which asks about the stages of the condition, Glenohumeral Special Tests, Frozen Shoulder, Thoracic Outlet, and Impingement syndrome and Rotator Cuff Disease. Use them after reading a map, so you can see which parts you still need to study.

Are there resources on specific shoulder injuries?

Yes. The page lists mind maps and flashcard decks on rotator cuff tears, SLAP injuries, glenohumeral instability, biceps tendinopathy, and acromioclavicular sprains and dislocations. There are also decks on the Bankart lesion and the Hill-Sachs lesion, plus a flowchart on SLAP lesions.

Is anything here about the elbow or nerves?

A little. You will find Elbow and Elbow II mind maps, an ELBOW flashcard deck, a Radial nerve deck, and a Shoulder Neuro note. The page leans mostly toward the shoulder, so use these for a quick look at the wider upper limb.

Are these resources free, and who made them?

Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a related resource first. A broad mind map such as Shoulder Girdle or Shoulder Complex often covers neighboring topics. If a gap remains, you can build your own map, deck or quiz and keep it for your own studying.
