Study Notes
Muscle Attachments
- Superior Angle of the Scapula: Attached to the levator scapulae muscle.
- Supraspinous Fossa: Attached to the supraspinatus muscle.
- Infraspinous Fossa: Attached to the infraspinatus muscle.
- Subscapular Fossa: Attached to the subscapularis muscle.
- Infraglenoid Tubercle: Attached to the triceps brachii muscle.
Assessment Positions
- Levator Scapulae: Patient should be seated or standing for attachment assessment.
- Supraspinatus: Patient in a seated position with arms relaxed at the sides.
- Infraspinatus: Patient in a prone position with the arm hanging off the table.
- Subscapularis: Patient positioned prone with arm abducted.
- Triceps Brachii: Patient above or sitting with the arm at a 90-degree angle.
Anatomical Landmarks
- Lateral End of the Clavicle: Acromion is the anatomical landmark located here.
- Medial Border of the Scapula: Recommended position is standing or seated with arms at the sides.
- Attached to the Spine of the Scapula: The trapezius muscle is attached here.
- Landmark Above the Inferior Angle: The lateral border of the scapula is identified by moving laterally and superiorly from the inferior angle.
- Inferior Angle of the Scapula: Recommended position is either sitting or lying prone.
- Biceps Brachii Attachment: Associated with the supraglenoid tubercle located on the scapula.
- Spine of the Scapula: Recommended position is standing or seated, with arms at the sides.
- Medial Border of the Scapula: Serratus anterior muscle attaches here.
- Interior Border of the Scapula: The subscapularis fossa is located on this border.
- Coracoid Process: Recommended position to locate this landmark is seated with the arm abducted at 90 degrees.
