43
Q

Discuss the 6 principles associated with full abduction of the shoulder.

A

1) 2: scapulohumeral rhythm - active shoulder abduction of about 180 degrees occurs as a result of simultaneous 120 degrees of GH joint abduction and 60 degrees of scapulothoracic upward rotation
2) The 60 degrees of upward rotation of the scapula during full shoulder abduction is the result of a simultaneous elevation at the SC joint combined with upward rotation at the AC joint
3) The clavicle retracts at the SC joint during shoulder abduction
