Study Notes

Scapular Movement

  • The serratus anterior muscle is responsible for protracting and depressing the scapula.
  • The trapezius muscle elevates and retracts (adducts) the scapula and inferiorly rotates the scapula.
  • The latissimus dorsi muscle is the agonist of arm extension, adducts, and medially rotates the arm.
