Shoulder joint

The shoulder joint is a flexible and complex connection between the upper arm bone (humerus) and the shoulder blade (scapula). It allows a wide range of movements, such as raising, rotating, and reaching, making it essential for daily activities and sports. The joint is supported by muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which help stabilize it while allowing mobility. Its unique ball-and-socket structure provides great flexibility; however, this can also make it prone to injuries and conditions like dislocations or rotator cuff tears. Proper strength and flexibility exercises are crucial for maintaining shoulder health.
