ACJ: Coracoclavicular lig (both bands)
Limiting factors for depression of shoulder girdle
SCJ: Interclavicular lig. & intra-articular disc
Limiting factors for protraction of shoulder girdle
SCJ: Sternoclavicular ligament & costoclavicular ligament
ACJ: Coracoclavicular ligament & fibrous capsule
Limiting factors for retraction of shoulder girdle
SCJ: Sternoclavicular ligament & costoclavicular ligament
ACJ: Coracoclavicular ligament & fibrous capsule
Limiting factors for GH flexion
Extent of articular surfaces. Tension in capsular structures
