This week we look at shoulder joint stability.  The shoulder joint is unique in the body in that the joint is stabilized predominantly by muscles and muscles only.  There is very little structure in the way of bone or cartilage to stabilize the joint, yet it has a huge range of motion in many planes and directions.
