It is called a winged scapula and can be due to many causes but is usually due to a weakness in a muscle called serratus anterior. The weakness could be in the muscle itself or the nerve that sends impulses to it.

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.
