Trapezius Entire muscle Origin
Occiput, nuchal( thickened supraspinous) ligament (C1-C7) and SPs of C7-T12
Trapezius Entire Muscle Action
Retraction(adducts) scapula at scapulocostal joint
Upper Trapezius
External occipital protuberance, superior nuchal line and SP of C7
Upper Trapezius insertion
Lateral 1/3 of clavicle and acromion process of scapula
Upper Trapezius Action
Elevates scapula; laterally flexes and extends neck
Upper Trapezius Test
Subject: sit, head turned away from side being tested Fixation: none Test: elevate acromion and posterolaterally extend neck Pressure: against shoulder, in direction of depression and against head anterolaterally
Middle Trapezius Origin
SPs of T1-T3
Middle Trapezius Insertion
Acromion process and spine of Scapula
Middle Trapezius Action
Retracts the scapula
Middle Trapezius Test
Subject: Prone; arm abducted 90 and laterally rotated forearm extended. Fixation: place hand on opposite scapula. Test: retraction (adduction) of scapula. Pressure: against forearm, in downward direction toward floor protraction
Lower Trapezius Origin

Lower Trapezius Insertion
Root of spine of the scapula
Lower Trapezius action
Depression scapula
Lower Trapezius test
Subject: prone; arm abducted 120 and laterally rotated (palm forward); forearm extended. Fixation: place hand below opposite scapula. Test: adduction and depression of the scapula. Pressure: against of forearm, in downward direction toward floor protraction.
Rotator cuff muscles

Sub SIT
Rhomboid major origin
SPs of T2-T5
Rhomboid Major insertion
Between the root of the spine of scapula and the inferior angle of the scapula
Rhomboid Major action
Retracts (adducts) and elevates scapula
Rhomboid Major/ minor test
Subject: prone; elbow flexed, arm adducted and slightly extended and laterally rotated; scapula elevated; palm up or down. Fixation: none. Test:adduction and elevation of scapula with medial rotation of inferior angle. Pressure: pull subjects elbow toward you ( abduction and lateral rotation of inferior angle) other hand on shoulder, in direction of scapula depression.
Rhomboid minor origin
SPs of C7-T1
Rhomboid minor insertions
Root of the spine of scapula
Rhomboid Minor action
Retracts ( adducts) and elevated; palm up nor down
