Scapula Muscles Flashcards
what movements happen at the scapula?
elevation depression protraction retraction rotate to elevate glenoid rotate to deoress glenoid
how can you tell if a muscle will elevate the scapula?
proximal attachment is superior to the distal attachment
how can you tell if a muscle will protract the scapula?
muscle is on the anterior side of the scapula
how can you tell if a muscle will retract the scapula?
muscle is on the posterior side of the scapula
name the 5 muscles that move the scapula to fix it in place so that you can use your arm/hand to reach
