TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - The Shoulder and Shoulder Girdle A1 - Kisner, Carolyn A1 - Colby, Lynn A1 - Borstad, John D. A2 - Kisner, Carolyn A2 - Colby, Lynn Allen PY - 2012 T2 - Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques, 6e AB - The design of the shoulder girdle allows for mobility of the upper extremity. As a result, the hand can be placed almost anywhere within a sphere of movement, its range limited primarily by the length of the arm and the space taken up by the body. The combined mechanics of its joints and muscles provide for and control the mobility. When establishing a therapeutic exercise program for impaired function of the shoulder region, as with any other region of the body, the unique anatomical and kinesiological features must be taken into consideration as well as the state of pathology and functional limitations imposed by the impairments.
