Understanding Shoulder Girdle Kinesiology: Joints, Muscles, and Movement

About Course

This lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the shoulder girdle complex anatomy and biomechanics. It details the osteological structures, including the sternum, clavicle, ribs, scapula, and humerus, and their interconnected mechanical articulations that facilitate upper extremity movement.

Special attention is given to the interdependent nature of these joints, emphasizing how dysfunction in any component can affect the entire kinematic chain of the shoulder complex
