Cards

Term
muscles of shoulder complex
Definition
stability during motion
-ligaments that restrict movement
-simultaneous movement & stabilization by muscles
significant contribution to skilled UP movement
- writing
-lifting, pushing, pulling, throwing
Term
scapular stabilizers
Definition
-function= movement & stabilization of scapula during GH movement
- proximal insertions are on the thorax
- distal insertions are on the scapula
Term
serratus anterior
Definition
-primary scapular protractor
-scapular protraction and upward rotation
Term
trapezius
Definition
upper trapezius
-elevation and upward rotation of scapula
-extension, lateral flexion, & contralateral rotation of neck

middle trapezius
- upward rotation and adduction of scapula

lower trapezius
- upward rotation, adduction, and depression of scapula
Term
rhomboid major/minor
Definition
-lie deep to the trapezius
- rhomboid minor is more cranial; major is more caudal
- elevation and retraction of scapula
- rhomboid major provides downward rotation
Term
pectoralis minor
Definition
-located anteriorly on upper chest; deep to pectorals major
-depression and anterior tilt of scapula
Term
levator scapulae
Definition
- deep to upper trapezius & sternocleidomastoid muscles
- elevation and downward rotation of scapula
Term
GH stabilizing muscles
Definition
rotator cuff muscles
-provides stabilization & movement
- acronym- SITS
-supraspinatus
-infraspinatus
- teres minor
- subscapularis
- biceps and triceps included as they offer some stabilization
Term
supraspinatus
Definition
-deep to trapezius and deltoid
- abduction of GH
Term
infraspinatus
Definition
-lateral rotation and adduction of GH
Term
teres minor
Definition
lateral rotation and adduction of GH
Term
subscapularis
Definition
medial rotation of GH
Term
large muscle movers of shoulder
Definition
-little or no attachment to scapula
- "primary movers" of GH
Term
deltoid
Definition
-large, superficial muscle
- 3 parts: anterior, middle, and posterior
- all 3 parts produce shoulder abduction
- anterior and posterior act as antagonists
- anterior produces horizontal adduction
- posterior produces horizontal abduction
Term
deltoid
Definition
-abduction of GH
-anterior deltoid performs flexion and horizontal adduction
-posterior deltoid performs extension and horizontal abduction
Term
latissimus dorsi
Definition
medial rotation, adduction, and extension of GH
Term
pectorals major
Definition
-horizontal adduction & medial rotation of GH
- clavicular head performs flexion of GH
- sternocostal head performs extension of GH when in full flexion
Term
coracobrachialis
Definition
adduction and flexion of GH
Term
synergistic muscle actions
Definition
force couple
-2 forces on opposite sides of an axis
-movement vectors in opposite directions
-produces rotation at axis
Term
muscle activity during functional movement
Definition
examples from text
- placing hand behind head
-pulling
complex movement of synergists
changes in concentric and eccentric
