Thus, the shoulder complex allows an overall range of motion of 180 degrees in almost all directions. This range of motion of the humerus in space is accomplished by motion of the scapula relative to the thorax, in addition to the dominant glenohumeral motion.
Generally speaking, range of motion refers to the distance and direction a joint can move to its full potential. Each specific joint has a normal range of motion that is expressed in degrees after being measured with a goniometer (i.e., an instrument that measures angles from axis of the joint). Limited range of motion refers to a joint that has a reduction in its ability to move. The reduced motion may be a mechanical problem with the specific joint or it may be caused by diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other types of arthritis.
