Abstract 

This narrative review is intended to provide hand and upper extremity therapists, who occasionally treat patients with shoulder diagnoses, with several current concepts related to normal shoulder anatomy and function. It is hoped that this review will be useful for 1) appreciating patho-anatomy and pathophysiology, 2) planning treatment approaches, and 3) stimulating research aimed at improved understanding of the shoulder.
