The authors describe in detail the position of greatest stability of the shoulder joint. They review the mechanical importance of this position in the overall physiology of the shoulder-girdle and stress the essential role of two articular ligaments of the shoulder joint (the coracohumeral and inferior glenohumeral ligaments) in arrival at this reference position. There thus exists a passive control, of ligamentous origin, of movements of the shoulder-girdle. The position is essential if the shoulder is to benefit from the full range of movement and full stability which it needs in every day functioning.
作者详细描述了肩关节最稳定的位置。他们回顾了该位置在肩胛带整体生理学中的力学重要性，并强调了肩关节的两条关节韧带（喙肱韧带和肩胛下韧带）在达到该参考位置时的关键作用。因此，存在一种源自韧带的对肩胛带运动的被动控制。如果肩部要在日常功能中受益于其所需的全范围运动和完全稳定性，这个位置至关重要。
