Shoulder and Arm – Joints

  1. GH joint
  • Convex on concave
  • posterior/anterior/ inferior
  1. SC Joint
  • inferior/superior → convex on concave
  • anterior/posterior → concave on convex
  1. AC joint
  2. Scapulothoracic joint : not true joint, 

When shoulder joint move, these four joint work together

  • Scapulohumeral rhythm
    1. First 30 degrees of shoulder 
      • The movement is largely glenohumeral.
      • Scapulothoracic movement is small and inconsistent.
    2. After the first 30 degrees of shoulder elevation:
      • Overall 2:1 ratio of glenohumeral to scapulothoracic movement.
      • ex)  Abduction of 90°   → 60° of GH and 30° of ST motion.
