    • Abduction
  • Posterior part
    • Extension
    • Adduction
26
Q

Stabalise joint

37
Q

What is the only muscles of posterior group of rotary cuff muscles not to stabilise joint?

Subscapularis

43
Q

What movement is done by the subscapularis?

Medial rotation

44
Q

What are the posterior muscles of the elbow?

A
  • Triceps brachii
    • Attaches to olecranon process of the ulna bone
    • 3 heads (hence triceps)
      • Lateral head
      • Long head
      • Medial head
    • Extends arm at glenohumeral joint (shoulder) and extends arm at elbow joint
45
Q

Where does the tricep brachii attach to?

A
  • Attaches to olecranon process of the ulna bone
46
Q

48
Q

What nerve supplies the tricep brachii?

A

Radial nerve travels on surface of posterior humerus deep to muscle, supplying tricep

49
Q

What often damages the radial nerve?

A

Humeral fracture

50
Q

What are the anterior muscles of the elbow?

A
