This is the BEST video I have seen for Anterior Glide of the GH Joint. Thank you!

[@Mikereinold]

You're very welcome!

[@leegye9653]

You are the man, Mike!

[@maestroh2986]

I'm a bit confused. You're not in open pack position, you're not stabilizing the proximal joint (scapula) so it looks like the whole joint is bouncing up and down, and you're using your fingers, where performing this in prone is more mechanically sound

[@xaqq2190]

Amazing! Thank you

[@moisestoscano9620]

Thank you!

[@Fargosportsmassage]

[@nadasalim1913]

Please make a sacroiliac joint mobilizing. Thank u in advance

[@josefedericocortesgomez5048]

gracias

[@nadasalim1913]

Can we use this for patients with cervical pain?

[@jmvm7282]

If it is obese patient, how is Ur hand position? How will u give distraction plus glides?

[@unlikebeginner7249]

Yeh good question

[@p.b-qf5ri]

Anterior glide is performed in prone lying position right ... I have this doubt ?

[@AhmedSalah-kr8bl]

Sometimes you need to do it from supine posiotion
Like for ashma patients

[@zakkcharette1911]

Why aren't you in open pack position before applying glides?

[@palomagarcia2833]

He said he prefers a short axis to better feel the movement

[@joesefr.7756]

Thanks for the tip brother. What things might indicate the use of an anterior glide on the shoulder for a patient?

[@Mikereinold]

You got it! We use anterior glides when the capsule is tight, but you really need to assess that first to be sure it's not loss of motion from something else.

[@georginabastien49]

during ROM (range of motion) assessment, if there is decreased Extension and External Rotation of the GH Joint (aka Shoulder), Anterior Glide will increase ROM. (* = sign for degrees)
The GH/Shoulder Joint has these ROM:
Flexion is 160-180*
Extension is 50-60*
Abduction is 170-180*
Adduction is 0*
Internal Rotation aka Medial Rotation is 60-100*
External Rotation aka Lateral Rotation is 80-90*
Horizontal Abduction is 90*
Horizontal Adduction is 45*

[@chettabacks8201]
