when upper trapezius & serratus anterior contract, the scapula will move upward

If you have a serratus anterior movement with the co-contraction of rhomboids, then the scapula is stabilized due to the stabilizing synergistic function of the muscles

Q

modified T/F

SHOULDER COMPLEX DEPRESSION is when there’s a forceful downward movement of arm in relation to trunk (scapula rotates downward and adducts)

the shoulder complex is depressing while elevating trunk when lifting body in seated position, seated push-up (inc. tone of latissimus dorsi)

Q

match the ff muscles
(can have multiple answers)

  1. agonist in shoulder complex depression
  2. synergist with latissimus dorsi
  3. secondary agonist
  4. aside from rotating scapula downward & adducting, the humerus will extend, adduct & IR
  5. adducts & IR humerus

A. Latissimus Dorsi
B. Pectoralis Major (Sternal)

Q

match the ff muscles

  1. secondary role that anteriorly tilts scapula only for assistance
  2. downward rotator of scapula, scapular downward rotation & adduction together with GH extension, adduction, IR which is a synergistic action
  3. extensor, adductor, IR of humerus (secondary actor because it only activates if there’s resistance)

A. Latissimus Dorsi
