Study Notes

Shoulder Joint Muscle Actions

  • Flexion: Clavicular head of pectoralis major, Anterior fibers of deltoid, Coracobrachialis, Biceps Brachii
  • Extension: Teres major, Latissimus dorsi, Sternocostal head of pectoralis major, Posterior fibers of deltoid
  • Abduction: Supraspinatus (initiation from 0-15°, Deltoid (15° - 90°), Raising the arm above the head (i.e. above 90°) takes place by lateral rotation of the scapula (done by upper & lower fibers of trapezius + lower 5 digitations of serratus anterior).
  • Adduction: Pectoralis major, Teres major, Latissimus dorsi, Subscapularis
  • Medial Rotation: Pectoralis major, Teres major, Latissimus dorsi, Subscapularis, Anterior fibers of deltoid
  • Lateral Rotation: Infraspinatus, Teres minor, Posterior fibers of deltoid

Axilla

  • Apex boundaries: Anterior (clavicle), Posterior (Upper border of Scapula), Medial (Outer border of first Rib)
