Introduction Glenouhumeral Joint The glenohumeral (GH) joint, which is also known as shoulder joint, is a multiaxial ball-and-socket synovial joint. This joint is responsible for connecting the upper extremity of the trunk. The glenohumeral joint is one of the four joints that comprise the shoulder complex. The joint is considered to be the most mobile and least stable joint. The articular surfaces of the glenohumeral joint are the head of humerus and glenoid fossa of scapula. The humeral…

The foot and ground exert an equal and opposite force on each other. This is known as the ground reaction force.12 The position and acceleration of the runner's center of mass regulates the direction and magnitude of the ground reaction force. For instance, a runner sprinting from a standstill. Throughout the initial phase of acceleration, the body is inclined forward and therefore the center of gravity falls in front of the contact surface. After many gait cycles, the runner reaches top speed…

The main movements that facilitate the movement of the knee are rotational, flexion, and extension. Extension…
