Abstract
The aim of this work is to describe the biomechanics of the shoulder complex. The shoulder is the most complicated joint of the body.
In biomechanical point of view the scapula is the most important part of modeling the shoulder girdle and it is the best indicator of setting joints. This work describes shape and mobility of the shoulder complex (especially the scapula) in healthy individuals and patients.
In case of the shoulder pathology the scapula changes the position and reduces the mobility. The human shoulder can be seen as a perfect compromise between mobility and stability.
The article discusses the stability and instability of the shoulder girdle too.
