A normal range of motion for the shoulder joint includes the ability to move the arm in various directions, such as forward, backward, and to the side, as well as the ability to rotate the arm internally and externally. This range of motion allows for everyday activities like reaching, lifting, and throwing without pain or limitations.
The normal range of motion for the shoulder joint is typically about 180 degrees for flexion and abduction, and 60-90 degrees for internal and external rotation.
The joint in your shoulder is an example of a ball-and-socket joint, allowing for a wide range of motion in multiple directions.
Shoulder flexion and abduction increase the range of motion in the shoulder joint by allowing the arm to move forward and away from the body, respectively. These movements help to improve flexibility and mobility in the shoulder joint.
No. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint and not a pivot joint.
During flexion, the shoulder joint allows the arm to move forward and upward, increasing the range of motion. During extension, the shoulder joint allows the arm to move backward and downward, decreasing the range of motion.

The shoulder has a greater range of motion than the hip primarily due to its anatomical structure. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint with a shallow glenoid cavity, allowing for extensive rotational and multi-directional movement. In contrast, the hip joint, while also a ball-and-socket joint, has a deeper acetabulum that provides stability and weight-bearing support, limiting its range of motion in comparison to the shoulder. Additionally, the surrounding musculature and ligaments of each joint contribute to their respective mobility characteristics.
The clavicle is part of the shoulder joint, also known as the acromioclavicular joint. It connects the scapula (shoulder blade) to the sternum (breastbone) and allows for the range of motion in the shoulder.
No. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint and not a pivot joint.
The deltoid rotation helps the shoulder joint move in different directions, allowing for a wide range of motion.
The purpose of the shoulder rotation test is to assess the range of motion in the shoulder joint. It is performed by having the individual rotate their shoulder in different directions while keeping their arm straight. This helps to evaluate the flexibility and mobility of the shoulder joint.
During flexion, the shoulder joint allows the arm to move forward and upward, increasing the range of motion. During extension, the shoulder joint allows the arm to move backward and downward, decreasing the range of motion.
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, where the rounded head of the humerus bone articulates with the shallow socket of the scapula. This joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.
The glenohumeral joint is the main joint of the shoulder, where the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) articulates with the socket of the scapula (shoulder blade). It is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.
