AC joint is one of the four joints in the shoulder girdle. It sits directly superior to the Glenohumeral joint, separated only by a synovial bursa. The Subacromial bursa offers lubrication for the tendon and joint , and is a gliding joint. (Palastanga, 1998) …show more content…

Innervation
Long Thoracic Nerve. (Tortora, 2003)
Action
It causes protraction of the scapula that it attaches, moving the scapula laterally towards the front, it is also activated during a push up exercise, according to (Tortora, 2003, p. 342). It assists the trapezius muscle in supporting weights above the shoulder like doing a vertical press up with elbows pointing in the front. It assists the pectoral and subclavius muscles in spontaneous breathing when the thoracic cavity expands. (Gray, 2007)
