The wrist is one of the most complex joints in the body and contains numerous joints that function together to move the hand. The wrist’s functions include:
Moving the hand back and forth and side to side
Transferring forces from the arm to the hand
Providing strength and flexibility to the hand
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. It has a complex group of structures working together to provide movement in all planes, however, with this great mobility comes a lack of stability. This ball and socket joint is often compared to a golf ball sitting on a tee due to its unstable nature.
Impingement syndrome can occur when there is a reduced space between the top of the humerus (upper arm bone) and the acromion (bone at the tip of the shoulder). This leads to a ‘pinching’ of the structures that pass through this gap and causes pain.
