8: Shoulder Girdle & Shoulder Muscles Flashcards
muscles that move the scapula
muscles of the shoulder girdle
muscles anterior of scapula (SPS)
Subclavius, Pectoralis Minor, Serratus Anterior
Subclavius OIA
O: 1st rib;
I: clavicle;
A: depresses clavicle, stabilizes shoulder girdle
Pectoralis Minor OIA
O: ribs 3-5;
I: coracoid process of scapula;
A: depression, downward rotation, protraction
assists in drawing the shoulder forward and downward, also to stabilize the shoulder girdle
pec minor
Serratus Anterior OIA
O: ribs 1-9;
I: anterior vertebral border of SCAPULA;
A: protraction, upward rotation
known as the “boxer’s muscle” because it helps with horizontal arm movement like punching and pushing during horizontal adduction
serratus anterior
Levator Scapulae OIA
O: C1-C4;
I: vertebral border of SCAPULA;
A: elevation, assists in retraction and downward rotation
Rhomboids (Major and Minor) OIA
O: C7-T5;
I: vertebral border of SCAPULA;
A: retraction, downward rotation, elevation
Trapezius OIA
O: occipital protuberance to C7-T12;
I: lateral 1/3 of CLAVICLE, acromion process of SCAPULA, spine of SCAPULA;
A: elevation/depression, retraction, upward rotation
action of Trap 1 (superior part)
elevation
action of Trap 2 & 3 (middle part)
retraction
action of Trap 4 (inferior part)
depression and upward rotation
muscles posterior of scapula (LRT)
Levator Scapulae, Rhomboids, Trapezius
Which muscles perform scapula elevation
levator scapulae and trapezius
which muscles perform scapula depression
trapezius and pec minor
which muscles perform scapula retraction
trapezius and rhomboids
