The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint that connects the humerus (the upper arm bone) to the scapula (shoulder blade). This joint allows for a wide range of motion, enabling movements such as lifting, rotating, and reaching. The shoulder joint is supported by various muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which help stabilize it during movement. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that play a crucial role in shoulder stability and mobility. The shoulder joint's design allows for flexibility but also makes it susceptible to injuries, such as dislocations and rotator cuff tears. Proper care and strengthening exercises can help maintain shoulder health.
