What muscle is the prime mover for shoulder abduction?
Trapezius and Levator Scapulae
What muscle group is the primary mover of shoulder and elbow extension?
Shoulder extension is controlled by: Long head of the triceps, the last, and the teres major
What is the prime mover muscle of shoulder horizontal adduction?
Because shoulder horizontal adduction is performed when the arm is horizontal position (i.e., the elbow is level with shoulder) and adduction is movement toward the center of the body, shoulder horizontal adduction is performed primarily by pectoralis major and anterior deltoid, with an assist by latissimus dorsi.
Prime mover for shoulder flexion?
Prime mover is the bicep and the antagonist is the tricep.
What muscle is used to extend the forearm?
Triceps Brachii - it is the only muscle fleshing out the posterior humerus; its three heads arise from the shoulder girdle and proximal humerus, and it inserts into the olecranon process of the ulna. It is a powerful prime mover of elbow extension.triceps brachii
What is the prime muscle mover agonist for depression of the mandible?
.. Masseter - prime mover of jaw closure - elevates the mandible ... External intercostals - with 1st rib fixed by scalene muscles - pull ribs toward one
Prime mover for shoulder flexion and adduction?
Do you mean flexion and (abd)uction?? If so, the prime mover would be the deltoid muscle with many smaller muscles assisting. If you are in fact meaning flexion and adduction, the prime mover would be the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi with many smaller muscles assisting.
What is the prime mover of shoulder abduction?
The prime muscle differs depending on the degree of abduction. From 1 to 20 degrees it is the supraspinatus muscle, from 20 to 90 degrees it is the deltoid and from 90 degree and above the action is done by that rotate the scapula (trapezius and serratus anterior).
What muscles is responsible for the movement of scapula depression?
The movement of the scapula is largely determined by the position of the shoulder girdle as a whole. As a "floating bone" the scapula is often at the mercy of the more fixed extremities and can be acted upon by several different muscles simultaneously. That being said, the prime mover responsible for scapular depression is the trapezius (specifically the lower fibers). Other muscles which act as stabilizers or synergists in scapular depression and eventual scapular protraction are the subscapularis, the serratus anterior and the lower fibers of latissimus dorsi.
The trapezius is the prime mover for most movements of the?
The trapezius muscle extends from the upper back to the back of the neck. Its main functions are to support the arm and to move the shoulder blade.
What is the prime mover for standing calf raise exercise?

Can anyone define these muscle terms Antagonist pairs prime mover synergist fixator origin and insertion?
Antagonist: Controls movement, opposite of prime mover Prime Mover: Main muscle that is directly responsible for movement Synergist: Aids in movement of muscle
