The Shoulder Joint The glenohumeral joint‚ or as it is more commonly referred to the shoulder joint ‚ is one of the most flexible and unstable joints in the body. As a ball and socket joint the shoulder allows circular motion and hinge movement. The rounded head or ‘ball’ of the humerus rests in the shallow dish shaped cavity or ‘socket’ created by the glenoid fossa of the scapula. This allows for a wide range of motion around several axes. There are two main bones that make up the shoulder

Types of joints: Ball-and-socket joint: Consists of a bone with a globular or slightly egg-shaped head that articulates with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone. Such a joint allows a wider range of motion than does any other kind‚ permitting movements in all planes‚ as well as rotational movement around a central axis. The hip and shoulder contain joints of this type. Condyloid joint: The ovoid condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone‚ as in the joints between the

The first synovial joint that I will look at is the hinge joint. The hinge joint can be found in the knee and elbow. Hinge joint can only perform two types of movement – flexion and extension. When analysing a jump shot we need to get into a set position where our elbow and knees are flexed it is a hinge joint that allows us to do this. When
