Agonist And Antagonist At The Shoulder

Question 1

What is the agonist and antagonist when there is extension?

Answer 1

Agonist= posterior Deltoid
Antagonist= anterior deltoid

Question 2

What is the agonist and antagonist when flexion is occurring at the shoulder?

Answer 2

Agonist= anterior deltoid
Antagonist= anterior deltoid

Question 3

What is the agonist and antagonist whilst abduction and adduction is occurring at the shoulder?

Answer 3

Abduction=
Agonist- medial dorsi
Antagonist- latismus dorsi
Adduction=
Agonist- latismus dorsi
Antagonist- medial dorsi

Question 4

What is the agonist and antagonist at the shoulder whilst lateral rotation and medial rotation is occurring?

Answer 4

The agonist and antagonist for both is the rotator cuff group

Question 5

What is the agonist and antagonist at the shoulder whilst horizontal flexion and extension is occurring?

Answer 5

Horizontal flexion=
Agonist- pectoralis major
Antagonist- teres minor
Horizontal extension=
Agonist- teres minor
Antagonist- pectoralis major
