What is the P of the Deltoid?
Doing yoga poses with arms overhead (all fibers), reaching for (anterior fibers) and putting on (posterior fibers) a seat belt
What is the MA of the Deltoid?
Clavicular (Anterior): flexion and medial (internal) rotation of the arm
Acromial (Middle): abduction of the arm
Spinal (Posterior): extension and lateral (external) rotation of the arm
What is the PA of the Deltoid?
Clavicle, acromion, and spine of scapula (where trap ends)
What is the DA of the Deltoid?
Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
What is the N for the Deltoid?
Axillary nerve (C5 and C6)
What is the P of the Pectoralis Major?
Reaching across the body into an overhead cabinet or putting on a seatbelt
What is the MA of the Pectoralis Major?
Adduction and medial (internal) rotation of the humerus
Protraction (abduction) of the scapula (draws scapula anteriorly and inferiorly)
Horizontal adduction of the arm
Clavicular Head: flexion of the humerus
Sternocostal Head: extension of the humerus from the flexed position
What is the PA of the Pectoralis Major?
Clavicular Head: clavicle
Sternocostal Head: sternum, superior 6 costal cartilages, and external oblique muscle
What is the DA of the Pectoralis Major?
Lateral lip of intertubercular sulcus of humerus
What is the N for the Pectoralis Major?
Lateral and medial pectoral nerves: Clavicular Head (C5 and C6) and Sternocostal Head (C7, C8, T1)
What is the P of the Pectoralis Minor?
Taking a deep breath or walking with crutches
What is the MA of the Pectoralis Minor?
Protraction (abduction) of the scapula (stabilization by drawing it inferiorly and anteriorly against thoracic wall)
With the scapula fixed, assists to elevate the thorax during forced inhalation

Ribs 3-5
What is the DA of the Pectoralis Minor?
Coracoid process
What is the N for the Pectoralis Minor?
Medial pectoral nerve (C8 and T1) and lateral pectoral nerve (variable)
What is the P of the Infraspinatus?

MAIN EXTERNAL ROTATOR
What is the PA of the Infraspinatus?
