Q

what is the sequence of shoulder girdle movements that makes up scap UR

  2. clavicular elevation continues until costoclavicular ligament becomes tight. Axis of scapular upward rotation motion moves to AC jt
  3. the scapula continues to rotate upward at AC jt UNTIL CC ligament BECOMES TIGHT

72
Q

what are the 3 different roles of the RC?
