Trapezius (upper & lower) & serratus anterior (upper & lower) contract

91
Q

Scapulohumeral rhythm: phase I & Scapulothoracic motion

ligament movement

A

coracoclavicular ligament tightens locks AC joint

because the AC joint is locked down the scapula & clavicle can move together

92

clavicle elevates about 30 degrees through sternoclavicular joint

93
Q

Scapulohumeral rhythm: phase I & Scapulothoracic motion

Scapulohumeral rhythm: phase II & acromioclavicular motion

ligament motion

A
  • costoclavicular ligament tightens
  • the taut costoclavicular ligament pulls down on the coracoid
  • this pulls the conoid tubercle of the clavicle down
95

movement of the clavicle

A

rotation of clavicle on long axis

96

101
Q

Deltoid

A
  • middle deltoid abducts
  • maintenance of optimal length-tension is dependent on scapula motion

102
Q

Supraspinatus motions

A
  • Major abductor and flexor (prepares glenohumeral joint for shoulder flexion) - during abduction pulls humerus head into shoulder joint
  • begins glenohumeral joint through full ROM without deltoid
