Figure 1. Stabilization of the scapula during posterior shoulder measurement.

Figure 2. Angle created by the end position of the humerus with
respect to the starting position (perpendicular plane to the examination table).
To measure GH horizontal adduction, the digital inclinometer was aligned with the ventral midline
of the humerus. The angle created by the end position of the humerus with respect to 0 of horizontal adduction (perpendicular plane to the examination table, as determined by the digital inclinometer) (Figure 2) was then recorded as the total amount of GH horizontal adduction motion.
