Again, Forces will also pass through the midcarpal and radiocarpal joints into the radius and ulna bones of the forearm, Which will pass the force through the elbow joint into the humerus of the arm, and then through the glenohumeral joint into the scapula. The force from the scapula will then move through the acromioclavicular joint into the clavicle, and then pass through the sternoclavicular joint into the sternum,a part of the axial skeleton.
