This lecture will explore the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal healthy functioning of the shoulder girdle, some of the interruptions that can occur to the ideal functioning of this area and exercise progressions to restore function, prepare for specific activities and enhance performance. First, the available movements and typical movement patterns of the shoulder girdle will be broken down analyzing scapular movement, humeral movement and relevant muscular action. Then, common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns will be addressed. Finally, exercise progressions that can be used to rebuild normal muscle action and movement patterning will be outlined, as well as shoulder girdle exercises that can challenge and promote optimal performance.
