The muscles which produce shoulder extension are: Latissimus Dosi & Pectoralis Major.
Crackling or popping sounds in the shoulder can be caused by air bubbles moving in the joint or tendons rubbing over bone. It can also occur due to muscle or ligament movements during certain shoulder movements. If the sound is not accompanied by pain or limited range of motion, it is usually harmless.
Clenching an unrelated muscle group whilst inducing a refllex causes activation of gamma motneurones which inervate intrafusal muscle fibers causing them to be more sensitive to strech. A hightened sensitivity this causes and increased reflex response.
The five common causes of muscle cramps are dehydration, muscle fatigue, electrolyte imbalances, poor blood circulation, and inadequate stretching before physical activity.
Left shoulder swelling can be caused by various factors, such as injury, inflammation of the tissues or joints, bursitis, tendonitis, or infections like cellulitis. It is important to seek medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Muscle cramps occur when muscles contract involuntarily and do not relax. Possible causes include dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, muscle fatigue, poor circulation, and certain medical conditions.
latissimus dorsi
The latissimus dorsi, and the trees major, which is known as the " little lat", both adduct, extend, and internally(medially) rotate the shoulder. The long head of the triceps also extend and addicts the shoulder, while also being an elbow extensor
A flexor is a muscle that causes a joint to bend. In contrast, an extension is a muscle that straightens a joint.
extensors / extensor muscles
When a muscle contracts it causes flexion and when muscles relax they cause extension
Contractions of the gluteus maximus muscle causes (hyper)extension of the thigh.
Common causes of experiencing pain between the shoulder blades include poor posture, muscle strain, stress, and overuse of the muscles in that area.
Common causes of upper arm pain below the shoulder include muscle strains, tendonitis, rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, and nerve compression.
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.
The prime mover for shoulder internal rotation is the subscapularis muscle, which is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff. It originates on the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus. Contraction of the subscapularis muscle causes internal rotation of the shoulder joint.
Muscles are not jointed, though the bones they attach to may be. For example, your biceps muscle attaches to both your scapula (shoulder blade) and radius (one of the forearm bones). Contracting the muscle causes the elbow joint to bend.
Crackling or popping sounds in the shoulder can be caused by air bubbles moving in the joint or tendons rubbing over bone. It can also occur due to muscle or ligament movements during certain shoulder movements. If the sound is not accompanied by pain or limited range of motion, it is usually harmless.
