Shoulder circumduction

Circumduction of the shoulder is a complex movement that combines flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction in a circular motion. This movement occurs at the glenohumeral joint and requires multiple muscles working together for smooth coordination. During flexion, the anterior deltoid, pectoralis major (clavicular head), coracobrachialis, and long head of the biceps brachii are active. Extension involves the posterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, teres major, and long head of the triceps brachi
