Answer 4

1. Good Alignment/Posture
2. Strong Scapular Stabilizers
3. Strong Rotator Cuff

Question 5

Clavicle

Answer 5

connects the upper limb to the trunk. from which the scapula and
free limb are SUSPENDED

Question 6

the motion of the deltoid and a pose that uses all parts of the deltoid

Answer 6

Action: Anterior part- Flexes and internally rotates arm
Middle part- Abducts arm
Posterior part- Extends and Externally rotates arm
When all work together the arm abducts and the anterior posterior parts steady the arm. (Except the first 15 degrees, supraspinatus).

Question 7

supraspinatus

Answer 7

the first 15 degrees of arm abduction

Question 8

Rotator Cuff

Answer 8

Protects and Stabilizes the Joint
The tonic contraction holding the large head of the humerus in the small shallow
glenoid cavity during arm movements
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
Subscapularis
Collectively the prime function during all movements of
the shoulder joint is to hold the head of the humerus in
the glenoid cavity of the scapula.

Supraspinatus:
Initiates and assists deltoid in
abduction of the arm and acts with Rotator Cuff.

Answer 10

Infraspinatus:
Laterally (externally) rotate arm, holds
humeral head in glenoid cavity.

Rotator Cuff Teres Minor

Answer 11

Teres Minor: Laterally rotate arm (externally), holds

humeral head in glenoid cavity.

Question 12

Rotator Cuff Subscapularis

Answer 12

Subscapularis: Medially (internally) rotates arm and

adducts it, holds humeral head in glenoid cavity.
