Summary
The
Shoulder Joint
, or
Glenohumeral Joint
, is a highly
Mobile synovial ball-and-socket joint
that allows for a wide
Range of movements
including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction,
Internal Rotation
, and
External Rotation
. Its mobility is facilitated by the
Shallow socket of the scapula
and the
Flexibility of surrounding muscles
and ligaments, but this also makes it susceptible to instability and injury.
