FIXATORS are synergists which immobilize the origin of the prime mover so that the prime mover can act more efficiently. For example, the deltoid is the prime mover of arm abduction. The deltoid muscle originates on the scapula, which is a moveable bone. The pectoralis minor, rhomboids, and trapezius muscles attach the scapula to the axial skeleton. When the deltoid contracts to abduct the arm, these other muscles hold the scapula still and therefore act as fixators. http://people.morehead-st.edu/fs/m.mcmurr/231-L11.html this should help you. :) weesa
