Movement
Movements in three degrees of freedom are possible. One speaks of abduction and adduction, whereby one assumes the resting position of the Caput humeri in the scapula plane. One knows the anteversion, the forward lifting of the arm and its counter movement, the retroversion. By a rotational component, a composite movement, the circumduction or circling, results with the involvement of the previously mentioned movements, whereby the arm practically describes a conical shell.
