A rotator cuff muscle prevents downward dislocation of the humerus?
Primarily (90% of the time, especially in a resting position) this job is performed by the supraspinatus muscle, and is assisted slightly by the infraspinatus and teres minor. When you are lifting something, or actively using the arm it tends to be the larger deltoids muscle that will kick in and keep the humerus from displacing inferiorly.
What are the muscles that contribute to the rotator cuff?
1- Supraspinatus and its function is to abduct the arm ,and it's innervated by the Suprascapular nerve. 2- Infraspinatus muscle and its function is to externally rotate the arm ,and it's innervated by the Suprascapular nerve. 3- Teres minor muscle and its function is to externally rotate the arm ,and it's innervated by the Axillary nerve. 4- Subscapularis muscle and its function is to internally rotate the humerus ,and it's innervated by the Upper and Lower subscapular nerve.
What is the antagonistic muscle of the infraspinatus?
The pectoralis muscle.
Which of these muscles is not part of the rotator cuff?
Many muscles are no where near it like my toe, leg, heart, etc.
What is antagonist to infraspinatus?
Subscapularis muscle
What muscle covers the majority of the shoulder joint?
