Study Notes
Scapular Rotations
- For scapular upward rotation, the PT is in a position of abduction-upward rotation.
Scapular Abduction-Upward Rotation
- The key muscle for scapular abduction-upward rotation is the trapezius.
Scapular Downward Rotation
- For scapular downward rotation, the PT's hand position is on the medial surface of the scapula, and the PTA applies resistance.
- The key muscle for scapular adduction-downward rotation is the rhomboid.
Scapular Adduction-Depression
- During scapular adduction-depression, the patient's arm is adducted and downwardly rotated.
- The key muscle for scapular adduction-depression is the pectoralis minor.
- The PTA applies resistance through the lateral surface of the scapula towards abduction and elevation.
MMT Scapular Adduction
- MMT scapular adduction requires the patient to be in a position of scapular adduction.
- The key muscle for MMT scapular adduction is the pectoralis minor.
Middle Trapezius
- One function of the middle trapezius is scapular rotation.
Scapular Elevation MMT
- Scapular elevation MMT requires the patient to be in a position of scapular elevation.
MMT Shoulder External Rotation
- MMT shoulder external rotation resistance will be applied through the lateral surface of the humerus.
- The PTA position for shoulder external rotation is lateral to the humerus.
