- This article is about the body part. See hard shoulder for the road segment.
In human anatomy, the shoulder comprises the part of the body where the arm attaches to the torso. It is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons. The articulations between the bones of the shoulder make up the shoulder joints. The shoulder must be flexible for the wide range of motion required in the arms and hands and also strong to allow for actions such as lifting, pushing and pulling.

Joints of the shoulder There are three joints of the shoulder: The glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, and the sternoclavicular joints. This does not cite its references or sources. ...

The sternoclavicular articulation is a double arthrodial joint. ...
Glenohumeral joint The glenohumeral joint is the main joint of the shoulder and the generic term "shoulder joint" usually refers to it. It is a ball-and-socket joint that allows the arm to rotate in a circular fashion or to hinge out and up away from the body. It is formed by the articulation between the head of the humerus and the lateral scapula. The "ball" of the joint is the rounded, medial anterior surface of the humerus and the "socket" is formed by the glenoid fossa, the dish-shaped portion of the latter scapula. A joint (articulation) is the location at which two bones make contact (articulate). ...
Glenoid fossa redirects here, for the other use of Glenoid fossa please see mandibular fossa. ...
The capsule is a soft tissue envelope that encircles the glenohumeral joint and attaches to the scapula, humerus, and head of the biceps. It is lined by a thin, smooth synovial membrane. This capsule is strengthened by the coracohumeral ligament which attaches the coracoid process of the scapula to the greater tubercle of the humerus. There are also three other ligaments attaching the lesser tubercle of the humerus to lateral scapula and are collectively called the glenohumeral ligaments. The joint capsules or articular capsules form complete envelopes for the freely movable bone joints. ...
The synovium or synovial membrane is a thin, weak layer of tissue which lines the non-cartilaginous surfaces within the joint space, sealing it from the surrounding tissue. ...
There is also a ligament called semicirculare humeri which is a transversal band between tuberculum minus and majus of the humerus( between posterior sides of these tuberculi). This band is one of the most important strengtening ligaments of the joint capsule.
Acromioclavicular joint The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is located between the acromion process of the scapula (part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the distal end of the clavicle. The acromioclavicular joint, or AC joint, is a joint at the top of the shoulder. ...
The acromion process, or simply the acromion, is an anatomical feature on the scapula. ...
The capsule of this joint is reinforced by the coracoclavicular ligament between the scapula and clavicle at the point of articulation.
Sternoclavicular joint The sternoclavicular occurs at the medial end of the clavicle with the manubrium or top most portion of the sternum. The clavicle is triangular and rounded and the manubrium is convex the two bones articulate. The sternoclavicular articulation is a double arthrodial joint. ...
Sternum or breastbone is a long, flat bone located in the center of the thorax (chest). ...
Movements of the shoulder The shoulder is capable of a wide range of motion. Just the scapula itself is capable of 6 types of movements: lateral and medial movement, elevation (upward motion), depression (downward motion), and rotation which simultaneously move the clavicle. The combination of the movement of the scapula with the arm muscles gives a wide range of motion to the arm. The shoulder joints aid the arm in flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction as well as lateral and medial rotation.
Major muscles The muscles that are responsible for movement in the shoulder attach to the scapula, humerus, and clavicle. | Name | Attachments | Function | | serratus anterior | Originates on the surface of the upper eight ribs at the side of the chest and inserts along the entire anterior length of the medial border of the scapula. | It fixes the scapula into the thoracic wall and aids in rotation and abduction of the shoulders. | | subclavius | Located inferior to the clavicle, originating on the first rib and inserting on the subclavian groove of the clavicle. | It depresses the lateral clavicle and also acts to stabilize the clavicle. | | pectoralis minor | Arises from the third, fourth, and fifth ribs, near their cartilage and inserts into the medial border and upper surface of the coracoid process of the scapula. | This muscle aids in respiration, medially rotates the scapula, protracts the scapula, and also draws the scapula inferiorly. | | sternocleidomastoid | Attaches to the sternum (sterno-), the clavicle (cleido-), and the mastoid process of the temporal bone of the skull. | Most of its actions flex and rotate the head. In regards to the shoulder, however, it also aids in respiration by elevating the sternoclavicular joint when the head is fixed. | | levator scapulae | Arises from the transverse processes of the first four cervical vertebrae and inserts into the vertebral border of the scapula. | It is capable of rotating the scapula downward and elevating the scapula. | | rhomboid major and rhomboid minor (work together) | They arise from the spinous processes of the thoracic vertebrae T1 to T5 as well as from the spinous processes of the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebrae. They insert on the medial border of the scapula, from about the level of the scapular spine to the scapula's inferior angle. | They are responsible for downward rotation of the scapula with the levator scapulae, as well as adduction of the scapula. | | trapezius | Arises from the occipital bone, the ligamentum nuchae, the spinous process of the seventh cervical, and the spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebrae, and from the corresponding portion of the supraspinal ligament. It inserts on the lateral clavicle, the acromion process, and into the spine of the scapula. | Different portions of the fibers perform different actions on the scapula: depression, upward rotation, elevation, and adductions. | Serratus anterior Serratus anterior muscle is the surface of upper 9 ribs at side of chest - anterior aspect along entire length of medial border of scapula - (protraction) draws medial border of scapula away from vertebrae (upward rotation). ...

Measurement of shoulder loads
An instrumented shoulder endoprosthesis, with a 9-channel telemetry transmitter to measure six load components in vivo ( http://www.biomechanik.de). For understanding normal and pathologic shoulder function knowledge of forces in the glenohumeral joint is essential. It forms the basis for performing fracture treatment or joint replacement surgery, for optimizing implant design and fixation and for improving and verifying analytical biomechanical models of the shoulder. With instrumented shoulder implants the joint contact forces and moments can be measured in vivo during different activities.
