Study Notes
Neck Muscles and Movement
-
Scalenes are the primary muscles responsible for contralateral rotation and lateral flexion of the neck.
-
Scalene muscles (anterior, middle, and posterior) are a group located in the neck and are involved in lateral flexion of the cervical spine.
-
Tight scalenes can compress the brachial plexus, leading to thoracic outlet syndrome, characterized by numbness, tingling, and pain in the arm and hand.
Trunk and Neck Stabilization
-
Core muscles (including the rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, transverse abdominis, and multifidus) are responsible for stabilizing both the trunk and neck.
-
Muscles assessed during the assessment of trunk muscle strength include the rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, and transverse abdominis.
Muscles Involved in Trunk and Neck Movements
- Pectoralis major is NOT involved in the actions of stabilizing and laterally flexing the trunk and neck.
Neck and Trunk Muscle Anatomy
- Muscles NOT part of the anterior muscles of the neck and trunk include the scalene muscles, which are located in the lateral neck region.
