2023年3月2日 · Shoulder joint movements are crucial for maintaining shoulder health, preventing injuries, and creating effective training plans. The shoulder joint, a marvel of human anatomy, is a complex articulation that enables a vast range of motion.

2024年10月8日 · The shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is an articulation between the scapula and the humerus. It is a ball and socket -type synovial joint, and one of the most mobile joints in the human body. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the shoulder joint – its structure, blood supply, and clinical correlations.

2023年10月30日 · Acting in conjunction with the pectoral girdle, the shoulder joint allows for a wide range of motion at the upper limb; flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, external/lateral rotation, internal/medial rotation and circumduction. In …

Due to the multiple joints involved during shoulder movement, it is prudent to refer to the area of the shoulder complex. To effectively rehabilitate a shoulder injury in clinical practice, it is important to have a functional knowledge of the underlying biomechanics of the shoulder complex.

Here, we look at the different types of shoulder range of movement, the normal range of motion in each direction, what range of needed for different functional activities, what limits movement and how to measure and increase shoulder range of motion.

To see just how involved shoulder movement is first requires a look at the anatomy of the shoulder complex of bones and joints. The bony architecture of the shoulder consists of the shoulder blade and acromion in a single unit, the clavicle, and the humerus.

2023年7月24日 · The shoulder is structurally and functionally complex as it is one of the most freely moveable areas in the human body due to the articulation at the glenohumeral joint. It contains the shoulder girdle, which connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton via the sternoclavicular joint.

2019年8月7日 · The glenohumeral articulation involves the humeral head with the glenoid cavity of the scapula, and it represents the major articulation of the shoulder girdle. The latter also includes minor articulations of the sternoclavicular (SC), acromioclavicular (AC), and scapulothoracic joints.

2023年8月8日 · The shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, is a ball and socket joint with the most extensive range of motion in the human body. The shoulder muscles have a wide range of functions, including abduction, adduction, …

2024年12月19日 · The shoulder’s main motions are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Shoulder flexion is movement of the shoulder in a forward motion. An example of shoulder flexion can be seen when reaching forward to grasp an object.
