(GH joint kinematics) what is the anatomic position of the GH joint in degrees?
0* / neutral position
The GH joint is what kind of planar?
tri-planar
Tri-Planar of the GH joint specifies what axes?
Ab / Adduction
Flex / Extension
Int / External Rotation
All purposeful motion of the GH joint involves movements at what joints?
SC and AC joints
(GH joint kinematics)
Abduction requires what plane of motion about the A/P axis
frontal plane
Normal abduction at GH joint is how many degrees?
120*
Full abduction of the shoulder requires what degrees of upward rotation of the scapula
50*
The the GH joint is in abduction, the convex humeral head does what?
rolls superior and slides inferior
GH joint in adduction – the convex humeral head does what?
(opposite of abduction) slides superior and rolls inferior
(GH kinematics)
