Nov 3, 2023 · The scapula moves by gliding against the chest wall in three degrees of freedom; Elevation (range of motion 40°) - depression (RoM 10°) Protraction (20°) - retraction (15°) External rotation (60°) - Internal rotation (30°) During these movements, the scapula is stabilized by the muscles that attach to it and by the ligaments of the AC joint.

Feb 17, 2023 · The components of scapular elevation (heavy line). The contributions of the sternoclavicular joint (darker shading) and the acromioclavicular joint (lighter shading) motion differ during the range of arm elevation. Clavicular rotation (inset) is an essential component of terminal arm elevation.
Sep 6, 2021 · The scapula, alternatively known as the shoulder blade, is a thin, flat, roughly triangular-shaped bone placed on either side of the upper back. This bone, along with the clavicle and the manubrium of the sternum, composes the pectoral (shoulder) girdle, connecting the upper limb of the appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton.
The combination of scapular and humeral movement result in a maximum range of elevation of 150-180°. [8] [9] Also by abduction Inman et al. reported an inconsistent amount and type of scapular motion in relation to GH-motion this time during the initial 30°. [5] .
