This website looks at the joints of the upper limb and the movements that these joints allow.
For the purposes of this case study, the website focuses mainly on the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint, the elbow joint and the proximal radioulnar joint. Use this website to find out more about the anatomy of these joints.
Introduction
Muscles Moving the Upper Limb
The model below shows all the muscles that are involved in generating movement at either the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint, elbow joint or proximal radioulnar joint. The dedicated pages to each of these joints within this website look at the movements these muscles create in more detail. You can use this model to become more familiar with the 3D interactive models featured within this website.
