Bony Landmarks
This centrally located structure serves as the "base camp" for finding other landmarks of the shoulder.
Spine of the scapula
The origin of this muscle is identical to the insertion of the trapezius.
Deltoid
The lesser tubercle of the humerus serves as the attachment site for this rotator cuff muscle.
Subscapularis
This is the primary action you would ask a partner to perform to contract the entire deltoid.
Abduction
To make the levator scapula more accessible for palpation, you should rotate the partner's head in this specific way.
45 degrees away from the side being palpated
This is located on the lateral side of the mid-humeral shaft and serves as an insertion point.
Deltoid tuberosity
Part of this large muscle's origin includes the thoracolumbar fascia.
Latissimus Dorsi
This muscle inserts on the medial surface of the coracoid process of the scapula.
Pectoralis Minor
This action will shorten the fibers of the serratus anterior.
Abduction of the scapula
This sensation, often called the "funny bone," occurs when this nerve is directly impacted.
Ulnar nerve
This end of the clavicle is known to curve inferiorly.
Sternal
The origin of this muscle is the tuberosity of the radius and aponeurosis.
Biceps brachii
This muscle inserts onto the superior angle of the scapula.
Levator scapula
This is the movement of the head and neck that would lengthen the fibers of the right-side levator scapula.
Rotation of the left
The pectoralis minor has the potential to create neurovascular compression on these three structures.
Axillary artery, axillary vein, and brachial plexus
To outline the distal tendon of the triceps brachii, you must locate this bony process of the ulna.
Olecranon process
The rhomboid minor originates from the spinous processes of these two specific vertebrae.
C-7 and T-1
This muscle inserts on the upper portion of the medial border of the scapula, across from the spine.
Rhomboid minor
These fibers of the Pectoralis Major aid a client specifically with the motion of throwing a bowling ball.
Costal fibers
To reach the belly of the coracobrachialis, a therapist should slide off the biceps brachii and into this area.
Axilla
This is located just superior to the spine of the scapula.
Supraspinous fossa
Part of the origin for this large muscle includes the external occipital protuberance and the medial portion of the superior nuchal line.
Trapezius
The subclavius attaches to the first rib and this bony landmark.
Clavicle
To feel the sternoclavicular joint space widen and then diminish, your partner should perform these two scapular movements.
Elevation and depression
Subacromial bursitis may directly impact the health and function of this specific muscle.
Supraspinatus
