Yes, both upward and lateral rotation are used to describe the same movement of the scapula. It's the movement of the scapula away from the midline.

Is tipping of scapula same as winging of scapula?

No. Winging Posterior movement of the medial border of the scapula, Rotation about a vertical axis. Tipping Posterior movement of the inferior angle of the scapula, Rotation about a transverse axis


The inferior angle of the scapula is at the same level as the spinous process of which vertebrae?

t8 68% of people have their lower (inferior) angle of the scapula at the level of T7-T9. So the mid point of this is naturally T8 but there is some variation.


Is dorsal same as lateral?

Dorsal is situated on the upper part and at the rear of a body, lateral is situated at the side


Is medial rotation the same as internal rotation in anatomy?

No, medial rotation and internal rotation are not the same in anatomy. Medial rotation refers to a movement towards the midline of the body, while internal rotation refers to a movement towards the center of the body.


What are facts about the scapula?

Scapula The Scapula is a Latin word meaning "Blade".so instead of saying the "shoulder scapula" you could say "shoulder blade." The scapula is the second shoulder bone in the 206 bones in the human body. The scapula is a wider flat bone at the back of the shoulder. The Scapula is also held in place by the end of the clavicle that is not connected to that thorax. The triceps muscle Starts on the scapula and runs down the back of the upper arm to the lower end of the humerous bone, which is the third bone in the shoulder. That muscle allows the arm to move back and forth. Two of the most important shoulder tendons are the rhomboid major and the rhomboid minor, they both attach to the scapula to help the shoulder bone move in or out. Another major tendon in the human body is the levator scapulae which does the same thing except…it helps raise and lower the scapula and the muscle around the scapula. There is also the rotary cuff which is a group of four muscles that run from the scapula to the humerous. The main job of that is to keep the shoulder girdle stable. If that girdle breaks or tears you will not be able to move your arm freely most of the time it will heal w/ lots of rest but in a much milder case you may need surgery. Another incident containing the ligaments is called shoulder separation, shoulder separation is the stretching or tearing of the ligaments at the end of the clavicle which would make it no longer attach to the scapula.

Is Lateral rotation and external rotation of hip same?

No, they are not the same. Lateral rotation of the hip involves turning the thigh away from the midline of the body, while external rotation of the hip involves rotating the thigh outward so that the toes point away from the midline of the body.
