Protraction  ANGLE OF PULL Determining which roll the muscle will play depends on the size of the muscle, the angle of pull, joint motions possible and location of muscle in relation to the joint axis. Angle of pull is usually a major factor to determine if prime mover (muscle has major role), assisting mover( minor role), or no role for that motion.  MUSCLES OF THE SHOULDER GIRDLE These muscles provide dynamic stability to the Trapezius scapula Levator Scapula These muscles do not Rhomboids attach to the humerus and do not cause shoulder joint Serratus Anterior motion Pectoralis Minor All muscles originate on the axial skeleton and insert on the scapula or clavicle  MUSCLES- TRAPEZIUS A large, superficial muscle that appears diamond-shaped Functionally, it is divided into three parts as there are three different lines of pull: Upper Trapezius Middle Trapezius Lower Trapezius  MUSCLES- UPPER TRAPEZIUS Origin: Occipital bone, nuchal ligament on upper cervical spinous process Insertion: Outer third of clavicle, acromion process Action: Scapular Elevation, Upward Rotation Nerve: Spinal Accessory (Cranial Nerve XI)  MUSCLES- MIDDLE TRAPEZIUS Origin: Spinous processes of C7-T3 Insertion: Scapular Spine Action: Scapular Retraction Nerve: Spinal Accessory (Cranial Nerve XI)  MUSCLES- LOWER TRAPEZIUS Origin: Spinous processes of middle and lower thoracic vertebrae Insertion: Base of the scapular spine Action: Scapular Depression, Upward Rotation Nerve: Spinal Accessory (Cranial Nerve XI)  MUSCLES- LEVATOR SCAPULA Origin: Transverse processes of first four cervical Insertion: Vertebral border of scapula between the superior angle and spine Action: Scapular Elevation and Downward Rotation Nerve: C3, C4 MUSCLES- RHOMBOIDS Origin: Spinous processes of C7 to T5 Insertion: Vertebral border of scapula between the spine and inferior angle Action: Scapular Retraction, Elevation & Downward Rotation Nerve: Dorsal Scapular Nerve (Roots of Brachial Plexus- C5) MUSCLES- SERRATUS ANTERIOR Origin: Lateral surface of the upper eight ribs Insertion: Vertebral border of the scapula, anterior surface Action: Scapular Protraction, Upward Rotation Nerve: Long Thoracic Nerve (Roots of Brachial Plexus- C5, C6, C7) MUSCLES- PECTORALIS MINOR Origin: Anterior surface, third through fifth ribs Insertion: Coracoid process of the scapula Action: Scapular Depression, Protraction, Downward Rotation and Tilt Nerve: Medial Pectoral Nerve (Cords of Brachial Plexus- C8, T1) * Small muscle but is houses the brachial plexus. With tightness, it can compress the brachial plexus and cause neuropathy.* MUSCLES- PECTORALIS MINOR Small muscle but is houses the brachial plexus. With tightness, it can compress the brachial plexus and cause neuropathy. PRIME MOVERS OF THE SHOULDER GIRDLE  SCAPULOHUMERAL RHYTHM Movement relationship The first 30º is called the “setting phase”; the scapulothoracic is between the shoulder mostly not active and the motion girdle & shoulder joint occurs mostly GH joint First 30º of shoulder After first 30 degrees, the GH and scapulothoracic joints move motion in abduction or simultaneously flexion is pure shoulder Overall a 2: 1 ratio of GH to ST joint movement movement  SCAPULOHUMERAL RHYTHM Purposes: 1. Preserves length tension relationship of the GH muscles allowing for increased force. The muscles do not shorten as much as they would without the scapula's upward rotation. 2. The scapula pulls down as the humerus elevates and this prevents impingement of the tendons in the subacromial space.  DYSFUNCTIONAL SCAPULOTHORACIC MOTION Weakness Rotator Cuff Tendonitis Impingement Syndrome AC Joint Injuries Shoulder Laxity/Instability Patterns Nerve Entrapment Scapula Bursitis Subacromial Bursitis  GOALS FOR DYSFUNCTIONAL SHOULDER GIRDLE 1-Pain Management 6- Activate Deltoid and GH 2-Postural Orientation depression 3-Realignment of Scapula on 7- Inhibit Upper trapezius & Chest wall other synergistic patterns 4- Develop Scapula mobility and 8- Restore Thoracic mobility Stability and proper breathing habits 5- Stretching tight structures 9- Neuromotor Training  POINTS TO REMEMBER The shoulder girdle has both linear and angular motions. The inferior angle is the point of reference for scapular rotation. Certain shoulder girdle and shoulder joint motions are connected. Scapulohumeral rhythm is an example of the combined motions of these joints. Muscles pulling in different directions to accomplish the same motion are a force couple. Example: The upper trapezius muscle pulls up, the lower trapezius muscle pulls down and the lower fibers of the serratus anterior pull outwards in a horizontal direction ! Upward Rotation Concentric and eccentric are accelerating and decelerating activities. With isometric, there is no joint motion.  REVIEW QUESTIONS Identify the structures that make up the shoulder girdle, the shoulder joint and the shoulder complex. Given the scapula is shaped somewhat like a triangle: What landmark is commonly used to determine the direction the scapula is rotating? What direction is the landmark moving if the scapula is rotating upwardly? Which shoulder girdle motions are mostly linear, which are mostly angular? What is the scapulohumeral rhythm? How is shoulder joint motion affected by the absence of scapulohumeral rhythm?
