Extension of the arm at the shoulder is due to:Latissimus DorsiPosterior fibers of the DeltoidTeres MajorExtension of the elbow joint is almost entirely due to triceps brachi
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, teres minor

These stretches cause many painful issues for people diagnosed with disorders such as sciatica.

Several muscles are used. Biceps brachii for elbow flexion, triceps brachii for elbow extension. Trapezius to raise arm. Deltoid abducts the arm. The pectoralis major allows internal rotation, adduction, and flexion of the arm. The pronator quadratus, pronator teres and supinator all arm forearm muscles that move the wrist. The brachioradialis, brachialis and aconeus are also used.
The versatile extension clamp is used to set up lab equipment including distillation. Extension clamps are used where an extension is needed and can be added to another clamp.
