ANTHROPOMETRY 

 SCAPULA 



131 



Left 



The infra-spinous height is the height from the inferior angle to 

 a point at which the spine transects the vertebral border of the bone. 

 To determine this point hold scapula in left hand with dorsal surface 

 up in such a way that the eye can follow the prolongation of the spine 

 to the axillary border. Mark the mid point of the juncture of the 

 spine with the border (and not the lower or upper limit). 



The glenoid point height is the distance from the inferior angle to 

 the center of the little roughness or fossa situated near the middle of 

 the glenoid cavity. 



The breadth of the scapula (c) is the diameter from the middle of the 

 outer (dorsal) border of the glenoid cavity to the point where the spine 

 intersects the vertebral border. (Broca, P. Sur les indices de lon- 

 gueur de Fomoplate chez rhomme, les singes et dans la se*rie des 

 mammiferes. Bull. Soc. d'Anthrop., 1878, $<r. 3, I, 66.) The gknoid 

 point breadth is that from this point. 5

Observer . 



1 1 = horizontal, at right angle, or near, with coracoid; % = moderate obliquity 

 upwards, angle 55-80; 3 = pronounced obliquity, angle near 45; 4 = semiquadrate; 

 6 = semicircular; 6 = wavy. 



2 1 = none; 2 = slight; 3 = moderate; 4 = nearly a foramen; 5 = foramen. 



*1 = straight; 2 = concave; 3 = convex: slightly moderately pronouncedly. 



4 1 = straight; 2 = teres process slight; 3 = moderate; 4 = pronounced. 



8 The glenoid point is a less variable landmark than the glenoid border; also it 

 is the more suitable in measurements of scapulae of various animals. The y x 

 index is the most stable index of the scapula.
