The shoulder joint is not harder to move, it just moves differently. It is a ball and socket joint, giving it a wider range of movement, but the elbow is a synovial joint, which can only move in one direction. The reason that yo may find it harder to move your shoulder is because the muscles pulling it may be less developed and also it has to pull up an entire arm, not just a forearm.

What joint allows you to move backwards?
Primarily your Hip joint with its ball and socket, supplemented by the articulations of knee and ankle.
We can move our arms in circular motion but not our knees .why?
Moving our arms in a circular motion is possible due to the structure and range of motion of our shoulder joints. The knee joint, however, is a hinge joint designed primarily for flexion and extension, limiting its ability to move in a circular motion. The ligaments and tendons surrounding the knee joint also restrict its range of motion compared to the shoulder joint.
How are the pivot joint and ball and socket joint different?
A pivot joint allows rotation around a single axis, like the rotation of the forearm. A ball and socket joint allows for movement in multiple directions, such as the shoulder joint which can move in all directions.
What joints move when you do a cartwheel?
When you do a cartwheel, your shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints move to support your upper body as it twists and rotates. Your hip, knee, and ankle joints also move to help propel your body forward and provide stability as you transition through the movement.
How many planes of motion does the shoulder move in?
The shoulder moves in three planes of motion: sagittal plane (forward and backward), frontal plane (side to side), and transverse plane (rotational movement). This allows for a wide range of movement and flexibility in the shoulder joint.
How do the joints hip knee shoulder elbow ankle move?
Joint Laxity
How does the shoulder and elbow move in different ways?
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for greater range of motion, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. The elbow joint is a hinge joint that primarily allows for flexion and extension movements. This difference in joint structure contributes to the varying degrees of movement in the shoulder and elbow.
What is the primary joint movement for a lat pull down?
A lat pull down will move the shoulder and elbow the most, primary is probably shoulder.
What is the difference between movable joint and elbow joint?
this is because the partially movable joint wont move as easy r quickly as that of the elbow joint.
How can you move your arm without the upper arm at the shoulder explained?
To move your arm without using the upper arm at the shoulder, you would need to rely on the muscles in your forearm and hand to create the movement. By using the muscles in your forearm, you can flex and extend your elbow, allowing you to move your lower arm without involving the upper arm at the shoulder joint.
What are the articulating bones in the shoulder?
The articulating bones in the shoulder are the humerus, scapula, and clavicle. These bones come together to form the shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint, which allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.
What combination of movement is required at the shoulder and elbow joints for a person to move his right upper limb from the anatomical position to touch the right side of his head with his fingertips?
First flexion at the elbow, rotation at the shoulder and then abduction of the upper arm. The joint at the wrist doesn't change position.
What combination of movements is required at the shoulder and elbow joints for a person to move his right upper limb from the anatomical position to touch the right side of his head with his fingertip?
First flexion at the elbow, rotation at the shoulder and then abduction of the upper arm. The joint at the wrist doesn't change position.
How do the following joints move knee hip shoulder elbow ankle?
The knee joint primarily allows flexion and extension, enabling the leg to bend and straighten. The hip joint facilitates a wider range of motion, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. The shoulder joint, being a ball-and-socket joint, allows for extensive movement in multiple directions, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. The elbow joint predominantly permits flexion and extension, allowing the forearm to move towards and away from the upper arm. The ankle joint enables dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, allowing the foot to move up and down.
Why can't elbow move backwards?
because it is an hinge joint
What type of joint is in the chicken wing shoulder?
Chickens use their wings to fly, since humans can't fly there's really no part of the human body that corresponds to the wing of a chicken. Many people would suggest an arm because when bent, an arm may look like a chicken wing.
What does the arm help you do?
Your arm connects and lets you move your shoulder, elbow, and wrist.
