The muscles involved in elevating the shoulder girdle (e.g. shrugging your shoulders) are the upper fibers of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and rhomboid minor.
The muscles involved in the external rotation of the shoulder are primarily the Infraspinatus and Teres Minor muscles.
The muscles involved in shoulder external rotation are the Infraspinatus and Teres Minor.
Shoulder elevation refers to the movement of raising the shoulders towards the ears. It primarily involves the contraction of the upper trapezius muscles. Shoulder elevation is commonly seen in movements such as shrugging or lifting heavy objects.
Raising the human arm involves a complex coordination of multiple muscles, tendons, and bones. The primary muscles responsible for arm elevation are the deltoid, supraspinatus, and trapezius. These muscles work together in a precise sequence to create movement at the shoulder joint, while the biceps and triceps muscles stabilize and control the movement at the elbow joint. Additionally, the rotator cuff muscles play a crucial role in stabilizing the shoulder joint during arm elevation to prevent injury.
The muscles that horizontally flex the shoulder are the Pectoralis Major and the coracobrachialis.
The plane of elevation of the shoulder girdle is the scapular plane, which is at approximately a 30-degree angle from the frontal plane of the body. This plane is important for proper movement of the shoulder joint and can help reduce impingement and stress on the shoulder muscles and tendons. It is often used as a reference point for exercises and movements involving the shoulder.
Scapular elevation refers to the upward movement of the shoulder blades (scapulae) towards the ears. This motion is primarily facilitated by muscles such as the trapezius and levator scapulae. Scapular elevation occurs during activities like shrugging the shoulders or raising the arms overhead. It plays a crucial role in shoulder stability and movement.
The muscles that are involved in the circumduction of the shoulder joint are the pectoralis major, deltoid, supraspinatus, long head of triceps, biceps brachii, subscapularis, infraspinatus, coracobrachialis, teres major and minor and the latissimus dorsi.
The scapula is a bone that moves as part of the shoulder joint. It is involved in various movements such as rotation, elevation, depression, and retraction to ensure proper function and range of motion of the shoulder. If the scapula appears not to move, it may be due to muscle tightness, weakness, or injury affecting the function of the surrounding muscles and joints.
deltoids are the back shoulder muscles and trapezoids are the muscles around the shoulder/neck/back area
The nerves in the C3-C6 region of the cervical spine primarily control motor function and sensation in the neck, shoulders, and upper arms. They also play a role in controlling certain muscles involved in head movement and shoulder elevation.
The shoulder press works the upper body muscles such as the deltoids and the triceps. The shoulder press also involves the core muscles.
