shoulder muscles 1 Flashcards
group 1 shoulder muscles (6 muscles)
what do they connect?
trunk to shoulders
- serratus anterior
- trapezius (upper/middle/ lower)
- pectoralis minor
- levator scapula
- subclavius
- Rhomboids
serratus anterior nerve and roots attachments 2 movements test
LTN/ C5-C7
attachments: top 8-9 ribs => ant surface of scapula (costal surface)
movements:
1. abduction
2. upward rotation
to test: flex 135 deg push on arm or have them punch to palpate against ribs
trapezius
nerve & roots
upper - attachements and 2 movements and test
middle - attachments and 1 movement and test
lower - attachement and 3 movements
nerve/ roots: CN XI & ventral rami of C3-C4 spinal nerves
attachments:
Upper traps: occipital and cervical vertebrae -> lat 3rd clavicle and acromion
movements:
1. elevate
2. upward rotation
test: have patient bring shoulders to ears and try to push down
Middle: (t1-t5) -> superior lip of spine of scapula (relatively straight muscle)
movement
1. adduction
test: pinch shoulder blades back
Lower: (T6->T12) -> root of spine of scapula movement 1. depression 2. upward rotation 3. adductor
rhomboids major/ minor nerve/ roots attachments 3 movements test
nerve/ roots: dorsal scapular nerve/ C4-C5 (mostly C5)
attachments:
rhomboid minor: nuchal ligaments & spinous process of C7-T1 -> medial border spinous scapula
rhomboid major: T2-> T5 -> lower medial border scapula
movements:
- adductor
- downward rotation
- weak elevator
test: have patient touch small of back and adduct
levator scapula
nerve/ roots
attachments
2 movements
nerve/ roots: ventral rami of spinal nerve 3 &4 & dorsal scapular nerve/ C4-C5
attachments: TP C1-C4 -> btwn spine of scapula and superior border
movements:
- elevator
- downward rotator - pulls from top- like tipping scapula forward => downward rotation of glenoid fossa
pec minor
nerve/ roots
attachments
3 movements
nerve/ roots: medial pectoral nerve/ C8-T1
ribs 3->5 (ant/lat surface) -> coracoid process
movements:
- elevates ribs
- depresses shoulder girdle
- downward rotation
Subclavius
nerve/ roots
attachements
movement (1)
nerve/ roots: nerve to subclavius (C5-C6)
attach lower surface of clavicle
movements:
depresses clavicle/ elevates 1st rib. mostly a stabilizing muscle
Group 2 shoulder muscles (7)
what do they attach?
Shoulder girdle -> humerus
- Coracobrachialis
- Supraspinatus*
- Deltoids
- Infraspinatus*
- Teres major
- Teres minor*
- Subscapularis*
Coracobrachialis
nerve/ roots
attachments
2 movements
nerve/ roots: median nerve: C5-C6
attachments:
coracoid process -> 1/2 way down medial border of humerus
movements:
- shoulder flexor
- Adductor
Supraspinatus
nerve/ roots
attachments
2 movements
nerve/ roots: suprascapular nerve/ C5-C6
attachment: Supraspinatus fossa -> (under acromial shelf) -> greater tuberosity; lies in scapular plane
movements:
- Primary aBductor
- Stabilizes GH joint and steers humeral head when elevated
deltoids nerve/ roots ant: attachment 2 movements middle: attachement 1 movements posterior: attachements 3 movements
nerve/ roots: axillary. C5-C6
Ant: lat 1/3 of clavicle -> deltoid tuberosity
movements:
1. flexion
2. horizontal adduction
3. weak internal rotation
Middle- acromion -> deltoid tuberosity
movements:
1. abduction
Posterior- inferior lip of spine of scapula -> deltoid tuberosity
movements:
1. horizontal aB
2. extension
3. external rotator
infraspinatous
nerve/ roots
attachements
2 movements
nerve/ roots: suprascapular nerve/ C5-C6
attachments: infraspinatous fossa -> greater tuberosity
movements:
1. external rotator - important for abduction because otherwise greater tuberosity would get in the way
2. upward rotation
teres minor
nerve/ roots
attachments
2 movements
nerve/ roots: axillary nerve; C5-C6
attachments: upper (superior to teres major) 2/3 inferior angle of scapula -> greater tuberosity
movement:
- external rotator
- adductor
subscapularis
nerve/ roots
attachement
movement
nerve/ roots: upper & lower subscap nerve; C5-C6
attachements: subscapular fossa (in axilla) -> lesser tuberosity
movement:
1. internal rotator
teres major
nerve/ roots
attachement
3 movements
nerve/ roots: lower subscap; C5-C6
attachement: inferior 1/3 angle of scapula -) bicipital groove of lesser tuberosity
movement:
- internal rotator
- adductor
- extension
