shoulder girdle retraction
shoulder joint horizontal adduction
shoulder girdle protraction
shoulder range of motion accomplished by
glenohumeral joint and shoulder girdle together
170 to 180 degrees of total abduction includes
approximately 60 degrees of scapula upward rotation
25 degrees of scapula elevation
95 degrees of glenohumeral abduction
Scapulohumeral rhythm
synergistic, every 2 degrees of glenohumeral motion, there is 1 degree of scapula motion
scapulohumeral rhythm role
To prevent impingement
Maintain length-tension relationship between muscle of of the g+h joint and shoulder girdle
Monitoring muscle function and joint mechanics
