The major muscles involved in horizontal adduction or flexion is the anterior deltoid fibres, pectoralis major and minor. Bicep complex(bbicep brachii, brachioradialis and forearm flexor) comes into action as synergists, if the leverage is long.The antagonists of horizontal flexion is posterior deltoid fibres,teres major, minor, lats and the associated rotator cuff muscle(infraspinatus)

What could be the cause of pain in your upper back that radiates up your neck and around your scapula and also pain in the right shoulder that pops with certain movements?

One view: It may be the suboccipital pain. One view: I was told mine was a build up of uric acid around my muscles and joints. One view: There are a lot of muscles behind and around your shoulder blades. There are also muscles between your shoulder blade (scapula) and your spine that can be in contraction (spasm.) Your "lat" muscles can pull on your shoulder, too. And your chest muscles may be tight and pulling on the muscles of your back. From the way you describe the "popping" it sounds like you have some muscles that are a little "too tight." My first choice for releasing or relaxing these muscles is massage--massage can work the quickest. Stretching the short front muscles in your chest and strengthening the muscles in your back can also help. Also stretch the fronts of your arms. When you stretch, stretch thoughtfully and gently.

What 4 muscles are used to prevent movement of a broken clavicle?

There are actually more than 4 muscles that should be immobilized. When you move your shoulders you move your clavicle. The muscles that causes movement at the shoulder joint should be immobilized. This includes the prime movers, as well as the assistant movers. The following muscles should be immobile. The subclavius which moves and depresses the clavicle as well as helps stabilize the pectoral girdle. The pectoralis minorabduct the scapula and rotates it downward, lowering your shoulders. The serratus anterior abducts the scapula and cause it to rotate upward, shrugging your shoulders. The trapezius stabilizes the scapula as well as move it, and helps extend head. The levator scapulae elevates the scapula and rotates it downward. The rhomboid majorelevates, adducts, rotates downward, and stabilizes the scapula. The Rhomboid minor does the same thing as the Rhomboid major. The pectoralis major adducts and medially rotates the arm at the shoulder joint; flexes arm at the clavicular head and extends the arm to the side of the trunk at the sternocostal head. The deltoid abducts the arm at the shoulder joint; flex and medially rotates the arm at shoulder joint; and extend and laterally rotates the arm at shoulder joint. The subscapularis medially rotates the arm at shoulder joint. The supraspinatus assists the deltoid muscle to abduct the arm at the should joint. The infraspinatuslaterally rotates and abducts the arm at the shoulder joint. The teres major extends the arm at the shoulder joint and assists in the adduction and medial rotation of the arm at the shoulder joint. The teres minor laterally rotates, extends, and adducts the arm at the shoulder joint. The coracobrachialis flexes and adducts the arm at the should joint.
