Trapezius and scapula
The "Superman position" is a good way to feel the contraction of this part of the trapezius.
What are the lower fibers of the trapezius
This movement can be performed to create a strong contraction of the latissimus dorsi.
What is medial rotation of the glenohumeral joint
This joint is encompassed and stabilized by the rotator cuff muscles
What is the glenohumeral, or shoulder, joint
This bony land mark is located on the lateral side of the mid-humeral shafts
What is the deltoid tuberosity
These muscles act as antagonists to biceps brachii while performing shoulder extension
What are pectoralis major (lower fibers)
These muscles are completely superficial
What are latissimus dorsi, deltoids, trapezius
This bony landmark can help distinguish teres major vs latissimus dorsi
What is the lateral border of the scapula
The shared attachment site of 3 of the rotator cuff muscles
What is the greater tubercle of the humerus
This bony landmark serves as an attachment for 3 of the rotator cuff muscles
What is the greater tubercle of the humerus
This muscles acts as a synergist with teres minor during lateral rotation of the glenohumeral joint.
What is deltoid (posterior fibers) and infraspinatous
The common attachment for trapezius and deltoid muscles
What is the acromion process
(Blank) is a part of the origin of latissimus dorsi
What are: the inferior angle of the scapula, spinous processes of the last 6 thoracic vertebrae, last 3 or 4 ribs, thoracolumbar fascia and the iliac crest
The action performed in order to feel supraspinatous contract.
What is alternation between slight abduction and relaxation of the shoulder
This part of the scapula serves as an attachment site for the long head of triceps brachii
What is the infraglenoid tubercle
This muscle acts as an antagonist to the lower fibers of trapezius during depression of the scapula
What are traps, rhomboids (both), and levator scapula
The 2 movements required to feel the sternoclavicular joint widen and diminish slightly
What is elevation and depression of the scapula
The origin of the deltoid is identical to the insertion of this muscle
What is trapezius
The scapula serves as an attachment site for this many muscles
What is 17
This supraspinous fossa is located just superior to this landmark
What is the spine of the scapula
This muscle helps create downward rotation of the scapula
What is rhomboid (major and minor), levator scapula, pectoralis minor.
The end of the clavicle that curves inferiorly
What is the sternal end
The portion of the trapezius muscle that elevates the scapula
What are the upper fibers
A weakness in this muscle can be indicated by a "winged scapula"
What is serratus anterior
To access the medial portion of the subscapular fossa, position your partner like this
What is side lying
This movement of the head and neck shortens the upper fibers of the trapezius on the right side of the body
What is flex and rotation to the left
