Q

What are the 3 groups of the shoulder region

A

Group 1: Muscles connecting upper limb to Vertebral column

 Trapezius
 Latissimus dorsi 
 Levitator scapulae 
 Rhomboid major
 Rhomboid minor

Group 2: Muscles connecting upper limb to Thoracic wall

 Serratus anterior
 Pectoralis minor
 Subclavius
 Pectoralis major

Group 3: Muscles connecting upper limb to Scapula

*Formed by muscles which have a proximal attachment at scapula and distal attachment at humerus = responsible for movements at the glenohumeral joint.

 Coracobrachialis
 Deltoid
 Teres major
 Rotator Cuff

Q

Importantane of latissimus Dori

A

Important in functional activities

When arms are fixed above the head it is important in climbing activities raises trunk upwards working with a reversed origin and insertion

Rowing and swimming

Rehabilitation Thx spinal injuries it has a high nerve root value = x paralysis

Forced expiration as it compresses thorax
