Structure of the shoulder

The anatomy of the shoulder, a highly complex joint in the shoulder girdle, ensures comparatively very good mobility. The secondary joints making up the actual shoulder joint are involved in the mobility of the entire shoulder girdle. Diseases in these secondary joints have a considerable effect on shoulder function. Good shoulder girdle function is not significant for the body at rest, but is immensely important when performing manual activities, particularly those involving overhead motions.
