What is the functions of glenohumeral?

The glenohumeral joint is commonly known as the shoulder joint it is not a muscle. It acts functionally as a diarthrosis and multiaxial joint.It is the most moveable joint in the body.Flexion and extension of the shoulder joint in the (sagittal plane).Abduction and adduction of the shoulder (frontal plane).Horizontal abduction and horizontal adduction of the shoulder (transverse plane).Medial and lateral rotation of shoulder (also known as internal and external rotation).Circumduction of the shoulder (a combination of flexion/extension and abduction/adduction).


What is the capsular pattern of shoulder joint?

Abduction, lateral and medial rotation


What are the 9 primary joint actions of the shoulder joint?

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, hoizontal abduction/extention, internal rotation, external rotation, circumduction, adduction/flexion


What movement can the shoulder joint not do despite being a multi-axial joint that allows a variety of movements?

Flexion, extension/hyperextension, trabsverse horizontal abduction, circumduction.If you think about the movements that you can do at your shoulder, you can figure this question out yourself. When in the anatomical position, we can perform flexion and extension,the forward and backward (respectively) movements of our arm at the shoulder joint. There is also abduction and adduction, which is the movement of rising our arm out to our sides, away from our body (abduction) and towards our body (adduction). Finally, there is also medial rotation and lateral rotation of the shoulder joint, in which we rotate the head of humerus in the shoulder-joint cavity (glenoid cavity). You may hear the combined movements of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction referred to as circumduction.


What movement does the shoulder joint allow?

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, which is the type that allows the greatest range of movement. it allows the arm to move forward and backward (as when you swing your arms while walking); abduction and adduction (as in jumping jacks); and many intermediate movements.


Which factor is responsible for abduction of shoulder joint other than muscles?

Nothing, but if you are tilted or upside down then gravity will abduct it.


What is the Open pack position of shoulder joint?

Glenohumeral Joint : 55 degs abduction, 30 degs horizontal adductionAcromioclavicular Joint: Arm resting at sideSternoclavicular Joint: Arm resting at side


What is the hip joints function?

Like shoulder joint, hip joint is also a ball and socket type of joint. It has adduction, abduction, flexion, extension, inward and out ward rotation and circumduction functions.


What are the two joints in the body that can be abducted and adducted?

the joints which allow abduction of the shoulder are the glenohumeral joint which is formed between the humerus and the glenoid fossa, the sternoclavicular joint which is formed between the upper portion of the sternum and the clavicle and also the acromioclavicular joint which is formed between the acromion process and the clavicle all of these joints work together with the muscles which produce shoulder abduction to create this movement.


Which joint allows for the following movements flexion extension abduction adduction rotation and circumduction?

Ball and socket joint allows the above movements. Shoulder and hip joints are classic examples of this type of joints. Shoulder joint is much more mobile and circumduction movement is well marked in that joint.


What is the agonist in shoulder circumduction?
