Week 1 Review

Bony Landmarks

100

This centrally located structure serves as the "base camp" for finding other landmarks of the shoulder.

Spine of the scapula

200

This is located on the lateral side of the mid-humeral shaft and serves as an insertion point.

Deltoid tuberosity

300

This end of the clavicle is known to curve inferiorly.

Sternal

400

To outline the distal tendon of the triceps brachii, you must locate this bony process of the ulna.

Olecranon process

500

This is located just superior to the spine of the scapula.

Supraspinous fossa

Muscle Origins

100

The origin of this muscle is identical to the insertion of the trapezius.

Deltoid

200

Part of this large muscle's origin includes the thoracolumbar fascia.

Latissimus Dorsi

300

The origin of this muscle is the tuberosity of the radius and aponeurosis.

Biceps brachii

400

The rhomboid minor originates from the spinous processes of these two specific vertebrae.

C-7 and T-1

500

Part of the origin for this large muscle includes the external occipital protuberance and the medial portion of the superior nuchal line.

Trapezius

Muscle Insertions

100

The lesser tubercle of the humerus serves as the attachment site for this rotator cuff muscle.

Subscapularis

200

This muscle inserts on the medial surface of the coracoid process of the scapula.

Pectoralis Minor

300

This muscle inserts onto the superior angle of the scapula.

Levator scapula

400

This muscle inserts on the upper portion of the medial border of the scapula, across from the spine.

Rhomboid minor

500

The subclavius attaches to the first rib and this bony landmark.

Clavicle

Actions and Kinesiology

100

This is the primary action you would ask a partner to perform to contract the entire deltoid.

Abduction

200

This action will shorten the fibers of the serratus anterior.

Abduction of the scapula

300

This is the movement of the head and neck that would lengthen the fibers of the right-side levator scapula.

Rotation of the left

400

These fibers of the Pectoralis Major aid a client specifically with the motion of throwing a bowling ball.

Costal fibers

500

To feel the sternoclavicular joint space widen and then diminish, your partner should perform these two scapular movements.

Elevation and depression

Clinical and Palpation

100

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

200

This sensation, often called the "funny bone," occurs when this nerve is directly impacted.

Ulnar nerve

300

The pectoralis minor has the potential to create neurovascular compression on these three structures.

Axillary artery, axillary vein, and brachial plexus

400

To reach the belly of the coracobrachialis, a therapist should slide off the biceps brachii and into this area.

Axilla

500

Subacromial bursitis may directly impact the health and function of this specific muscle.

Supraspinatus
