Rhomboids Major and Minor
Heather’s 3 keys to shoulder health
- Good Alignment/Posture
- Strong Scapular Stabilizers
- Strong Rotator Cuff
Clavicle
connects the upper limb to the trunk. from which the scapula and
free limb are SUSPENDED
the motion of the deltoid and a pose that uses all parts of the deltoid
Action: Anterior part- Flexes and internally rotates arm
Middle part- Abducts arm
Posterior part- Extends and Externally rotates arm
When all work together the arm abducts and the anterior posterior parts steady the arm. (Except the first 15 degrees, supraspinatus).
Warrior 2
supraspinatus
the first 15 degrees of arm abduction
Rotator Cuff
Protects and Stabilizes the Joint
The tonic contraction holding the large head of the humerus in the small shallow
glenoid cavity during arm movements
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Subscapularis
Collectively the prime function during all movements of
the shoulder joint is to hold the head of the humerus in
the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
Rotator Cuff Supraspinatus
Supraspinatus:
Initiates and assists deltoid in
abduction of the arm and acts with Rotator Cuff.
Rotator Cuff Infraspinatus
Infraspinatus:
Laterally (externally) rotate arm, holds
humeral head in glenoid cavity.
Rotator Cuff Teres Minor
Teres Minor: Laterally rotate arm (externally), holds
humeral head in glenoid cavity.
Rotator Cuff Subscapularis
Subscapularis: Medially (internally) rotates arm and
adducts it, holds humeral head in glenoid cavity.
Adductor Pollicis
Adducts the thumb
