What two muscles are Important in shoulder adduction and antagonists of the shoulder abductor?
The deltoid is the prime mover in shoulder abduction. It's two antagonists are the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi.
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 muscles cause horizontal adduction in the shoulder?
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 is the synergist of latissimus dorsi?
The muscle of the pectoralis is antagonist to the latissimus dorsi during the shoulder adduction. The anterior fibers are involved in shoulder abduction when the shoulder is externally rotated.
What is muscle group is the antagonist of shoulder adduction?
the antagonist of adduction is the pectoralis major
What does the Pectoralis move?
Pectoralis moves the shoulder joint. It has a sternal and clavicular end , it helps in shoulder joint adduction, cross arm adduction and overhead. Adduction movement means bringing the shoulder towards midline
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.
What is the range of motion for horizontal adduction of the shoulder?
pectoralis major
What muscle controls eccentric adduction of the shoulder?
pectoralis major
What muscles involved in shoulder joint adduction act as fixators?
The muscles that perform adduction to the shoulder include the pectoralis major, lattissimus dors, but these are the primary movers. The fixators that do adduction are the subscapularis and teres major.
What does the latissimus do?
adduction (bringing arms in towards the body) and extension at the shoulder
Shoulder muscle that is the antagonist of the trapezius?
Shoulder adductors. Abduction means moving away from the median plane of the body and adduction means moving towards the median plane of the body.
