Scapular and Deltoid Regions ROTATOR CUFF Flashcards
Shoulder Region
where the upper limb attaches to the trunk
comprised of the:
clavicle, scapula, and proximal humerus
includes:
superficial back muscles that attach to and move the humerus
extrinsic and intrinsic muscles
superficial extrinsic Back and Shoulder
trapezius
latissimus dorsi
deltoid
Trapezius Origin
superior nuchal line
external occipital protuberance
ligamentum nuchae
C7-T12 spinous processes
Trapezius
Insertion
lateral 1/3 of clavicle
acromion
scapular spine
(origin for deltoid)
Trapezius
innervation
NOT INNERVATED BY the BRACHIAL PLEXUS
spinal portion of accessory nerve CN 11 (motor only)
ventral rami C3-C4 (sensory only)
Trapezius
Functions
upper fibers: elevate scapula
lower fibers: depress scapula
together: upwardly rotate scapula (with serratus)
middle: retract scapula
Latissimus Dorsi
origin
T7-T12 spinous processes
ribs 9-12
thoracolumbar fascia
iliac crest
Latissimus Dorsi
insertion
floor of inter tubercular groove of humerus
Latissiums Dorsi
innervation
Thoracodorsal nerve
ventral rami C6-C8
Latissiums Dorsi
Functions
medially rotates
extends
adducts humerus at the shoulder joint
fixed insert: raise body towards upper trunk as in hoisting the body
Deltoid
Origin
- lateral 1/3rd of clavicle
- acromion
- scapular spine
Deltoid
Inserts
convergent tendon into the deltoid tuberosity of humerus
Deltoid
innervation
axilary nerve C5-C6
Deltoid
Functions
Chief humeral ABductor (following initiation of abduction by the supraspinatus muscle; after about 15-20 deg flexion)
- Anterior: chief humeral flexor and medially rotates humerus
- Posterior: extends and laterally rotates humerus
- Middle: primary ABductor of humerus
Extrinsic Shoulder Muscles are:
Rhomboids
Levator Scapulae
Rhomboids Major
Origin
spions processes of T2-T5
Rhomboids Minor
Origin
spinous processes of C7-T1
Rhomboids Together Insertion
together along the medial border of the scapula from scapular spine to interior angle
Rhomboids
innervation
dorsal scapular nerve
C5
Rhomboids
functions
scapular retraction (squeeze shoulder blades together) downward rotation of the scapula
Levator Scapulae
Origin
posterior tubercules of transverse processes C1-C4
Levator Scapulae
Insert
superior angle and upper medial border of scapula
Levator Scapulae
innervation
ventral rami C3-C4
dorsal scapular nerve C5
Levator Scapulae
Functions
scapular elevation
downward rotation of scapula
Reverse actions:
fixed scapula: lateral flexion of cervical spine to ipsilateral contraction
billaterally assists is extension of the cervical spine
Intrinsic Shoulder Muscles:
originate off the scapula and insert on the humerus
SITS muscles: Rotator Cuff
Teres Major
Rotator Cuff Muscles
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Subscapularis
