Shoulders can dislocate if they are knocked forwards or backwards. Since humans tend to walk forwards or sometimes backwards (but less frequently sideways), shoulders are in a position where they are more easily knocked out if the person bumps into something or someone.

∙ 8y agoThe best way would be to say that the upper arm bone (the humerus) is not in the socket that it belongs in. It isn't in it's proper location. There are plenty of muscles around the joint but it is very loose because of what we normally use it for. The muscles are called 'the rotator cuff' but they are not very strong and many forces can tear it.
