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.

Does shallow socket socket of shoulder joint restrict movement of humerus but does increase stability of joint?

Yes, the shallow socket of the shoulder joint allows for greater movement of the humerus but sacrifices some stability compared to a deeper socket. To compensate for this, the shoulder joint relies on surrounding ligaments, tendons, and muscles for stability during movement.


What movement occurs at the shoulder joint whilst reaching toward the ceiling?

When reaching toward the ceiling, the primary movement at the shoulder joint is called shoulder flexion. This occurs as the arm moves upward in front of the body, involving the muscles of the anterior deltoid, pectoralis major, and biceps brachii. Additionally, there may be some upward rotation of the scapula to facilitate the movement and allow for a full range of motion.
