Shoulder Girdle Anatomy: Joint Movements

[@ChristopherBarrena]

I appreciate the inclusion of the woman demonstrating the movements in the slides. It really helps to visually see the movement as it's being explained.

[@AlanaGilliland18]

The short clips/gifs demonstrating the movements with the descriptions alongside them were super helpful! You could really see the way her scapula was moving which helped me visualize what the scapula should be doing throughout the movement.

[@macynunez4455]

The cup analogy used to illustrate the anterior and posterior tilts of the scapula by envisioning a liquid inside falling forward or falling backward was seriously so helpful! I appreciate the emphasis on the shoulder joint and shoulder girdle performing synergist movements. This concept makes their actions make sense!

[@CharlieHuter]

I actually enjoyed and appreciate how you talked about how important and vital it is for the girdle muscles to support the rest of the body.

[@shelbyriem]

This video was super in depth and expanded my knowledge about the shoulder. It emphasized how important the shoulder girdle is, and it was really helpful seeing the lady's scapula move with what was being taught.

[@SierraNunes0022]

This video focused on the movements of the shoulder girdle. I like how Dr. Goodin put short videos on some of his slides to show the movements being talked about. This was helpful since we could visualize what we were talking about.

[@ElizabethSatterlee]

I liked how he talked about how important that shoulder girdle muscles are to stabilize the scapula. This video was really helpful!

[@nathanfernandez1568]

After watching this lecture video on the joint movements of the shoulder girdle, I was amazed when learning about how versatile the shoulder girdle is regarding its vast amounts of movements. Its amazing that the shoulder girdle can depress, retract, protract, elevate, rotate downward, and rotate upward.

[@JoshMurray-x7y]

I really appreciated the picture of the right-side scapula that was labeled with the movements and the direction. It helped form a reference in my mind and I was able to do the movements myself while looking at it. The shoulder girdle is responsible a much larger variety of movement than i originally thought. Protraction, Retraction, Upward rotation, downward rotation, elevation, depression, lateral tilt, medial tilt, anterior tilt, and posterior tilt.

[@emilywalker9462]

The clarification with protraction/retraction and abduction/adduction was super helpful! As well as the picture of the directions the scapula will move, clarifying it is the right scapula. How shoulder girdle movement is not dependent on shoulder joint movement, but shoulder joint movement is dependent on shoulder girdle movement.

[@shelby-omara]

This video taught me several movements that I did not know much about before. Some of these movements include lateral tilt, medial tilt, anterior tilt, and posterior tilt. This helped reinforce all the different movements that the scapula performs.

[@PLNUstephaniekhin]

I really appreciate how there was gifs provided during the slides that show the short movements of the joint. There is a lot of detail provided which each movement which really helps with grasping the information.

[@JennaDeFalkenberg]

The pictures and visuals used in this video really helped me understand the movements and what it should be looking like.

[@luciavaldez2601]

This video really brought to light how when a patient has a shoulder girdle issue we must take into account the entire shoulder girdle. This is due to most of the shoulder girdle muscles working together which is also something that stuck out to me. Being able to visually see the movements and structure working together through movement really helped me.

[@larissavenegas7104]

The diagram of the shoulder girdle movements with the scapula was super duper helpful!

[@AnnikaStresz]

the sketching on the picture to explain how to orient yourself on someone's scapula was helpful!

[@jakebergherm2786]

This video was actually the first time I understood scapular movement. I never was quite able to understand the upward and downward rotation, but the way you explained it made sense to me.

[@emmasanchez5975]

Using examples such as the small clips of the girl performing the movements was really helpful and will continue to help me remember the names of those movements.

[@KarinaBrambila04]

I really appreciated seeing the short videos that demonstrate the movements, they made the scapular movements easy to see and understand.

[@DevanneyBoyd]

I appreciate the in-depth description of different joint movements within the shoulder girdle. The distinction between scapular movement in the bench press and push-up was also helpful.

[@JuliaDombrowski-o9n]

The videos of the woman doing the different movements in this video were really helpful for me to understand exactly what it was that Dr. Goodin was referring to in the video. I think that the different movements can get really complicated and confused with one another but when I have a visual it makes it a lot easier to understand.

[@katherine_heekin]

I liked how you included a diagnostic element while explaining the different joint movements such as how some impingements of the shoulder have to do with limited mobility of the scapulothoracic joint.

[@isabellecousineau302]

Thank you for adding in the mini videos showing protraction vs retraction etc… super helpful!

[@elisemoreno6252]

One thing that really stood out to me was your emphasis on the connections between the shoulder girdle and joints and how they move synergistically, especially when you can see just how limited one's range of motion would be.

[@catherinegallegos2918]

I really liked the little videos of the woman showing the movements of the joints. As a visual learner, it made it so much easier to understand the motion, rather than just hearing how it moves or seeing a picture of it.

[@hectorcardenas5550]

The regular reminder about the dynamic movement of the scapula around the ribs is a good reminder of how to describe its action/interaction that I often do not consider and just imagine it moving along flat plane.

[@imanibruso3743]

The way you explained the shoulder and the joint movements make it sound like a puzzle with pieces that all work together. Different muscles are aiding in several different shoulder movements, multi-functional.

[@laurenhan0023]

I really like how you present examples of the different movements of the shoulder. It makes it easier to understand what scapular movement must take place to give the shoulder joint free range of motion.

[@madelinehernandez8838]

The visuals in the video are really good. Sometimes I find it hard to listen to lectures and imagine where things are or how they move, so having a video with interactive videos/pictures really help.

[@jamarmack9626]

I really enjoyed seeing all of the different scapula movements and having the visual of the girl to give me a visual! This really helped me know exactly what each movement does

[@lucamarin8565]

The explanation about how the scapula stabilizes while benching was insightful and makes a lot of sense when comparing it to pushups.

[@LaurenSaalberg]

I appreciate all the pictures you added to show the different movements like protraction and retraction etc that helped a lot

[@CassandraLuciani]

I liked how the video went into depth about shoulder and joint movements and talking about how shoulder joint and shoulder girdle are a synergistic movement but shoulder girdle movement is not dependent upon joint movement. I thought it was interesting to compare!

[@willhopkins4197]

Scapular movements have always been confusing for me, so this video was super helpful to clear that up.

[@MicahMurphy-ty8oe]

I really liked the diagrams showing each movement of the shoulder and how the scapula moves in relation to the entire shoulder.

[@chaseplott3199]

It's amazing how versatile the shoulder girdle is. I found the different movements it is capable of making interesting

[@makennakaczmarczyk7563]

I appreciated the pictures and arrows pointing in specific directions of the desired movement to help me visually understand this video!

[@EmileeWoods-ho3qm]

This video allowed me to get a refresher on certain aspects of the shoulder that I learned in previous classes. For example, the easiest way to remember scapular protraction and retraction is slouching and fixing the slouch. I also like the photo that you included with arrows indicating the scapular movement.

[@brandonkotlarczyk]

The slides and Dr. Goodin's commentary provide explanations of how some of the most complex joints in the body work together as a whole. I learned about lateral and medial tilt, which is the way the scapula glides and angles as the shoulder joint moves. Lateral tilt is performed by scapular abduction, while medial tilt is performed by scapular adduction.

[@greciacontreras6577]

This video helped me understand the importance of scapula movements, such as the movement of the shoulder when it rotates.

[@SamPatten-cb3fo]

I found the examples of the movements you provided to be very clear and helped me to visualize them better.

[@alanaguinaldo9146]

I appreciate the inclusion of all of the tilt movements. We don't usually think of these motions in the shoulder girdle, so it was nice to become aware of them.

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

I really appreciated the picture of the shoulder girdle movements because I am a very visual learner! I found it interesting how the shoulder girdle movement is not dependent upon the shoulder joint but the shoulder joint is dependent upon the girdle.

[@traceramos268]

I found the picture of the different scapula movements really helpful. It was just an easy way to display the different movements.

[@chynnakifer1218]

Thank you for showing the protraction and retraction! It made it easier to understand than just seeing the pictures!

[@EthanDPLNU]

The picture with all the arrows and directions around the scapular bone was very helpful in understanding concepts like upward rotation.

[@ryanharris8481]

This video was a great refresher for me since taking A&P. The shoulder girdle has many joint movements and your video made it easy to understand and visualize each one.

[@TreyWeedman]

This video did a great job of explaining the planes of motion that each joint moves in. I appreciated that he explained movements in multiple ways because it can be hard to visualize the movements.

[@aliciahernandez00233]

This video was very insightful. What stood out to me was that without movement of the shoulder girdle there is less Range of Motion (ROM) within the shoulder joint.

[@emmafrazier204]

This video really helped me understand the range of motion and movement in the shoulder. I learned anterior tilt, posterior tilt, medial tilt, and every movement of the shoulder.

[@calebussery5319]

This joint is so complex! This video does a good job of breaking it down.

[@LucasClarkston]

The short videos demonstrating the movement of the shoulder were really nice and the explanation was helpful

[@KayleeEubank]

I appreciate the detail you used when talking about the scapula and shoulder girdle. The images you used with the arrows indicating the protraction and retraction actions were very helpful for me to visualize.

[@evakoutelieris9550]

I appreciated all of the images used throughout the lesson, it is a great way to follow along in an online setting.

[@AshleyHume-x7y]

These are great illustrations to see the joint movements. It makes it easier to visualize

[@alexiaharlow8565]

There are so many different components that help the shoulder girdle move around and as you said at the end, it is really important to see how everything works together to be able to get to the root of the issue. Amongst all the muscles, the articulation between the humerus and the scapula, and all of the mobility that the scapula can have, one "small" issue can cause a lot of instability in a complex area of the body.

[@HenryDaRe-v8o]

I really appreciated you pointing out and showing the difference between upward rotation and downward rotation of the scapula. That's a topic that I have not mastered. It makes a heck of a lot more sense now, however. Thank you for bringing light to that. Shoulder joint and shoulder girdle movements happen simultaneously but should girdle is not dependent on shoulder joint but the shoulder joint is dependent on the shoulder girdle (have to stabilize the shoulder girdle; the scapula). The push ups vs bench press comparison was awesome, too! I have developed chronic pain for doing too much push work and not enough pull. I have to strengthen my serratus anterior and scapula so that my shoulder glides much smoother. In the bench press, I cannot keep my right shoulder stable. Maybe I should use less weight. Now that I can picture what scapular movement looks like and how it moves on its axis (lateral tilt and medial tilt) will help me work out more effectively. Thanks Professor!

[@peytonyoshida7500]

Seeing all the different movements in one diagram was super helpful for my understanding.

[@kaileyaraki8181]

This was a great refresher of some things we learned in anatomy. However, something I haven't learned before was that the shoulder joint movements are dependent on shoulder girdle movements, but not the other way around.

[@kennethvogan4708]

The shoulder is such a complex joint! Thank you for the chart and for explaining each movement in depth.

[@moirabryson5042]

This video was extremely helpful in helping my understand all of the shoulder girdle movement and even seeing that the shoulder girdle movements are not dependent upon the shoulder joint and its muscles!

[@miadenava585]

Thank you for showing us all of the different movements the shoulder girdle can do. This video was extremely clear and helpful to visualize and understand.

[@zanedirenzo5820]

Seeing how the scapula moved with each movement was very interesting!

[@NicoleGietzen-n7f]

The moving gifs when describing the scapular movements were very helpful in piecing together the word definitions.

[@JosephBatres0000]

I liked how he explains that the shoulder girdle and shoulder joint work together this is new information I had no idea about.

[@morganrolleri9198]

The graph was so helpful and I really liked how you explained each movement very thoroughly. The shoulder is so complex!

[@xaviergamez5745]

When looking at the general shoulder girdle movements not only were the gifs helpful as a visual representation but I enjoyed the more laymen's terms like "shoulder shrugging" to help remember which movements were which.

[@TarynTate]

The videos/gifs that was added into this video was extremely helpful for me to understand what you were talking about. I am a visual learner, so adding things helped me fully understand each concept.

[@natalievandell]

I'm a visual learner, so the animations helped a lot! I also feel like I learn best through real-life examples, and how to apply them in the field.

[@gisellemedina4597]

I really like the animations that you used to show each movement because it helps you actually see whats going on, and the explanations you gave as well.

[@LukeMoore-cx4iz]

The diagrams that showed the scapula movements were very clear along with the examples you gave. It made it very easy for me to remember them and practice them myself.

[@ChristianScandrett]

Each additional visual aid that you gave was super helpful for understanding how each joint moves.

[@KileyRankin]

this video explains the movements of the scapula and the synergy involved with these movements.

[@BrookeInman-u6m]

The movement demonstrations were helpful in getting the information to make sense in my head! And seeing the videos of the woman performing different shoulder movements were great visuals in seeing scapular movement.

[@Heriberto-pj7bt]

This serves as a good refresher for the movements of the scapula.

[@ReaganLim-k9h]

I think this video was especially helpful because it provided visuals for each joint movement.

[@AnthonyRabban]

I really enjoyed how you added the clarification of protraction vs retraction and abduction vs adduction.

[@alannabergherm8046]

The visual of the cup tilting really helped me understand how the exactly the scapula tilts.

[@oliviashaw3148]

This video helped me further my understanding of the shoulder girdle and joint. It was very clarifying on the difference between the shoulder girdle and joint, and how those work together.

[@torilucht5871]

I found this video to be very helpful in understanding the key points of how all the muscles in the shoulder girdle and joint work synergistically in order to have smooth movement. I also appreciated the clear explanation of lateral, medial, anterior, and posterior tilt within the scapula.

[@AlexisRomo001]

I like how you touched on medial and lateral tilts of the scapula because I hadn't heard of that. It's a new concept but definitely easy to understand with the examples you gave.

[@idontknowwhatimdoing4213]

A million years ago when I was on swim team, I remember being coached to "release" the shoulder blade, to allow for that full range. The elevation and posterior tilt when reaching in free-style, and then depressing and anterior tilt at the end of the pull when in shoulder extension. I didn't understand all of the movement back then, this definitely connects the dots!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

That was a great explanation of the shoulder girdle movements Maggie! Also, I love the translation of "coach speak" into anatomical language. Good coaches make complex topics simple

[@Moniiiqueee824]

A lot of the time people confuse joint movement with plain old movement. They don't take in to consideration that you have movement because of joint movements. Thanks for going into detail about joint movement. Explaining what the push vs. pull also gives a better example of exactly what it is and how it works.

[@maddie.bonadurer]

The little movements of the scapula movements is really helpful, especially because you can see her scapulas really well. I think the cup analogy will be a very useful tip when focusing on the tilts.

[@AnnaEngels0022]

Great video! The emphasis on the movement of the glenoid fossa during different movements made the movements of the shoulder and shoulder girdle make a lot more sense.

[@alexdavidson294]

I like how you give examples of exercises and how they make the joints move and what muscles are moving the shoulder girdle!

[@birileon3559]

I've been practicing on my lat pull downs so I will definitely remember this video on how the scapula retracts and protects throughout that exercise movement.

[@sydneycheng2264]

The shoulder girdle is a body part I never really thought about individually, but it was good to know its individual efforts in working with the shoulder joint.

[@mackenziehustead4037]

This was a super helpful video to understand the ways that the shoulder joint and shoulder girdle move. I did not really think about the fact that you can move your shoulder girdle without moving the shoulder joint, but for normal range of motion, you can't move your shoulder joint without moving your shoulder girdle.

[@tianguyen3897]

I liked the detail put into this video regarding shoulder girdle movements. My favorite sections were the movement demonstrations as well as the image of scapular directional movements because I learn better with visuals. This truly helped my understanding of how the scapula moves.

[@SavannaHouse]

I enjoyed this video and was glad to be refreshed regarding the connection between the shoulder girdle movements and the actual muscles and joint. The movement is not dependent on the muscles and joint, because of the passive hang ability, but to move distal extremities the shoulder girdle must stabilize.

[@NathanHanson-gt2kq]

This video had a nice review of the movements of the shoulder, especially the rotations.

[@hannahlien5137]

Another great review of the shoulder joint movements! It is crazy to think that the shoulder joint is so dependent on the movements of the shoulder girdle and how much mobility the scapula really has.

[@jessiesophie]

I really enjoyed the movement demonstrations as well as learning about the key bony landmarks that correspond to the different ways the scapula can move.

[@makaylanorwood1713]

I like how you explain the content and then demonstrate as well.

[@ReeseWoodson]

I really appreciated the visuals of the woman's scapula movements so I could visualize what the scapula was doing and how the bony landmarks like the inferior angle was moving throughout the motion.

[@Jerel_Q]

I liked the visual aid of the shoulder girdle movements. It also puts into perspective how important scapula movement is for the overall abduction and flexion of the humerus.

[@KaitlynJungers]

This video was very informational, I didn't realize how complex the shoulder joint was. I also enjoy the pictures provided so we can get a more visual view.

[@georgevidaurre7083]

REALLY liked the bit on shoulder girdle muscles when it comes to stabilizing the scapula accordingly for bench press vs. push-ups. Keeping my shoulders retracted is something I haven’t put into account when bench pressing, and now I know why my friend got injured from it.

[@jakegonzales1367]

I found the portion about the Synergistic movements and how joints move synergistically with each other really fascinating.
