title: [The biologic interaction of movements in the shoulder joint of cats and dogs].
abstract: The shoulder joint is a free joint which enables the free forelimb to describe curves in space, in order to perform movements and for locomotion. The movements can be measured in three planes: flexion-extension, abduction-adduction and rotation. The extent of movement in the cat, the German Shepherd and the Dachshund are described and the efficacy for these species and breeds is discussed.
