The glenohumeral joint has the capsular pattern of lateral rotation, abduction and medial rotation.
The knowledge about capsular pattern is essential to determine the joint dysfunction because the limitation of joint motion occurs in a specific pattern and each joint has a different capsular pattern.
The humeroulnar joint has the capsular pattern of flexion and extension.
The hip joint has the capsular pattern of flexion, abduction and medial rotation.
The mid tarsal joint has the capsular pattern of dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, adduction, and medial rotation.
