-sternocleidomastoid
-these also receive from spinal accessory nerve

58
Q

why are ventral rami of the brachial plexus involved in trap and SCM innervation?

A

provide sensory innervation for the purpose of transmitting proprioceptive information about the muscle back to the CNS
required since CN 11 does not have a sensory component

59
Q

winged scapula

  • due to…
  • results in..
A 
due to
-damage to long thoracic nerve
OR
-ventral rami that eventually form long thoracic
result
-paralysis of serratus anterior
60
Q

serratus anterior

  • what happens if it is paralyzed due to long thoracic damage?
A

function
-assists in fixing scapula to thoracic wall
-upward rotation
result
-patient unable to abduct arm above horizontal
-patient unable to push with the arm since scapula is limited in superior rotation

61
Q

axillary nerve damage

-leads to…

A

atrophy of deltoid muscle
weakness in shoulder abduction against resistance
absence or roundness of shoulder

62
Q

thoracodorsal nerve damage

  • inability to…
  • what becomes paralyzed?
  • how does this lead to the inability
A

inability to do “chin-ups”
paralyzes latissimus dorsi
lat extends humerus
in a closed chain with humerus fixes (as in during chin-ups), the lat pulls the body towards the humerus

63
Q

rotator cuff

  • what muscles reinforce the superior, posterior, and anterior aspects of the joint?
A 
main dynamic stability of glenohumeral joint
superior
