Q
deltoids 
 nerve/ roots
 ant: 
  attachment
  2 movements
 middle: 
  attachement
  1 movements
 posterior:
   attachements
   3 movements
A

nerve/ roots: axillary. C5-C6

movements:
1. flexion
2. horizontal adduction
3. weak internal rotation

Middle- acromion -> deltoid tuberosity
movements:
1. abduction

Q

infraspinatous
nerve/ roots
attachements
2 movements

A

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

Q

Group 3 shoulder muscles (2)

what do they attach

A

trunk to humerus (these work on trunk and GH)

  1. lattismus dorsi
  2. pectoralis major
17
Q

lats
nerve/ roots
attachement
4 movements

A

nerve/ roots: thoracodorsal (a.k.a. middle subscapularis) C6-C8

attachment: SP of T7-L5, thoracolumbar fascia, inf angle of scapula, lower ribs -> intertubercle groove of humerus

movements:

  1. extensor
  2. internal rotator
  3. adductor
  4. depress/ down rotation of shoulder girdle
18
Q

pec major
nerve/ roots
attachments (both heads)
4 movements

A

nerve/ roots: lateral pectoral nerve (C5-C6/ clavicular head) & medial pectoral nerve (sternal head) C7-T1

  1. sternal head: medial 1/2 clavicle -> lateral to bicipital groove
  2. clavicular head: costal cartilage -> lateral to bicipital groove

movements of both heads:

  1. adductors (primary action)
  2. protraction*
  3. depressor* especially sternal head
  4. weak flexor @ - costal head
19
Q

synergies of rotator cuff and delts

A
  1. delts do elevation while rotator cuff stabilize humeral head pulling down => elevation
20
Q

synergy of upper and lower trap and serratus

A

upward rotation (raising hand)

21
Q

synergy of rhomboids and teres major

A

rhomboids contract for down rotation -> prevent upward rotation of scapula (by teres major) during adduction, ext and int rotation

22
Q

synergy of deltoids and upper traps

A

deltoids pull scapula down- upper traps prevent shoulder girdle from being pulled down (depression) and downward rotation

23
Q

syndergy of levator scap, rhomboids, and pec minor

A

downward rotation

24
Q

synergies of bicep and deltoids

A

deltoids prevent shoulder flexion (from bicep) during elbow flexion

25
Q

synergy of pronator teres and bicep w/ tricep

A

tricep stops elbow flexion during pronation/ supiniation
