The Shoulder Joint
The Shoulder Joint
• Wide range of motion of the shoulder joint in • Scapula, clavicle, & humerus serve as
many different planes requires a significant attachments for shoulder joint muscles
amount of laxity – Scapular landmarks
• Common to have instability problems • supraspinatus fossa
– Rotator cuff impingement • infraspinatus fossa
– Subluxations & dislocations • subscapular fossa
• spine of the scapula
• The price of mobility is reduced stability
• glenoid cavity
• The more mobile a joint is, the less stable it • coracoid process
is & the more stable it is, the less mobile • acromion process
• inferior angle
