The shoulder girdle is responsible for which movements of the scapula?
The shoulder girdle is responsible for movements such as protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, and upward and downward rotation of the scapula.
What are the primary joint movements of a lat pulldown exercise?
shoulder adduction, elbow flexion and scapular downward rotation
What is a superficial muscle of the neck and upper back acts at the shoulder This muscle is the?
The trapezius muscle is a superficial muscle of the neck and upper back that acts at the shoulder. It is responsible for movements like shoulder shrugging, scapular elevation, depression, retraction, and rotation.
What does the scapula protect in the body?
Scapula is the scientific term for shoulder blade. It provides a foundation for the attachments of the muscles that move the arm.There are many functions of the scapula. It forms part of the shoulder girdle and many (16) muscles are associated with it.The actions that the muscles have on it include: elevation (shrugging), depression (slumping), abduction, adduction, rotation, and tipping.The scapula omo (shoulder blade) is the bone which connects the humerous (arm bone) to the clavicle (collar bone) Movements of the scapula are brought about by scapular muscles: Elevation, Depression, Protraction, Retraction, Lateral rotation, Medial rotation, Upward Rotation, Downward Rotation, Anterior Tipping, and Posterior Tipping
What are some effective teres minor exercises to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder joint?
Some effective teres minor exercises to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder joint include external rotation exercises using resistance bands or dumbbells, prone horizontal abduction exercises, and scapular retraction exercises.
What is the purpose of the scapular retraction test and how is it performed?
The purpose of the scapular retraction test is to assess the strength and function of the muscles that retract the shoulder blades. It is performed by asking the individual to pull their shoulder blades back and together while keeping their arms at their sides.
Shoulder blade retraction?

Which muscles are involved in shoulder external rotation?
The muscles involved in shoulder external rotation are the Infraspinatus and Teres Minor.
What are the differences between internal and external shoulder rotation and how do they affect shoulder movement and function?
Internal shoulder rotation involves the rotation of the shoulder joint inward towards the body, while external rotation involves the rotation of the shoulder joint outward away from the body. These movements are important for various shoulder functions such as reaching, lifting, and throwing. Internal rotation allows for activities like reaching behind the back, while external rotation is crucial for throwing motions and overhead movements. Imbalances in these rotations can lead to shoulder pain, limited range of motion, and decreased functional abilities. Strengthening and maintaining a balance between internal and external rotation is essential for optimal shoulder movement and function.
In what direction does the shoulder usually?
forward and downward direction
What muscles are involved in the external rotation of the shoulder?
The muscles involved in the external rotation of the shoulder are primarily the Infraspinatus and Teres Minor muscles.
