Shoulder abduction occurs in the frontal plane of motion. This movement involves raising the arm laterally away from the body, typically in a direction perpendicular to the sagittal plane. It is primarily facilitated by muscles such as the deltoid and supraspinatus.
The range of motion in the shoulder abduction plane of motion is typically around 180 degrees, allowing the arm to move away from the body sideways.
The range of motion for shoulder abduction is typically between 0 to 180 degrees.
The normal range of motion for shoulder abduction is typically between 150 to 180 degrees.
Shoulder circumduction is a multiplanar motion that occurs in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes. It involves a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and internal and external rotation at the shoulder joint.
The range of motion for shoulder abduction in a healthy individual is typically between 0 to 180 degrees.
The normal range of motion for shoulder abduction in a healthy individual is typically between 150 to 180 degrees.
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.
The range of motion in shoulder abduction and adduction directly impacts the overall function and performance of the shoulder. A limited range of motion can restrict movement and lead to decreased flexibility, strength, and stability in the shoulder joint. This can affect the ability to perform daily activities and sports, increasing the risk of injury and reducing overall shoulder function. It is important to maintain a full range of motion in shoulder abduction and adduction through proper stretching and strengthening exercises to optimize shoulder function and performance.

The glenohumeral joint moves in multiple planes of motion, including flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and internal/external rotation. This allows for a wide range of movement in the shoulder joint.
Shoulder flexion involves raising the arm forward and upward, while shoulder abduction involves raising the arm sideways away from the body. Shoulder flexion typically has a greater range of motion compared to abduction. In terms of muscle activation patterns, shoulder flexion primarily activates the anterior deltoid and biceps, while shoulder abduction primarily activates the lateral deltoid and supraspinatus muscles.
