Neuromuscular Control and Proprioception of the Shoulder

Abstract

Stability of the shoulder joint emanates from numerous mechanisms including articular geometry, static restraints (capsuloligamentous tissue), dynamic (muscular) stabilizers, and intra-articular forces. Capsuloligamentous structures not only provide mechanical restraint to joint subluxation, but also provide vital sensory feedback information that regulates involuntary muscular activation for joint stability (neuromuscular control).
