deck 1, nerves and actions shoulder Flashcards
unilateral action of superior fibers of trapezius
Elevation and upper rotation of the scapula; ipsilateral side bending (laterally flex) and contralateral rotation of the head
bilateral action of superior fibers of trapezius
Bilaterally: extend the head and neck
action of the middle fibers of trapezius
retraction of scapula, adduct and stablize scap
action of inferior fibers of trapezius
depression of the scapula, upwardly rotate scapula
all three parts of the trapezius are innervated by
