Evaluation of the Stiff Shoulder

 The normal shoulder is the most moveable joint in the body. It enables us to put our hand in a wide range of positions for example reaching over head reaching cross the body reaching up the back and rotating out to the side. These motions are accomplished by motion between the humerus (arm bone) and scapula (shoulder blade) as well as between the scapula and the chest wall. These motions are called humeroscapular and scapulothoracic motions.
