35
New cards

deltoid action

all fibers- abduct the shoulder (glenohumeral joint)

anterior fibers- flex the shoulder, medially rotate the shoulder, horizontally adduct the shoulder

posterior fibers- extend the shoulder, laterally rotate the shoulder, horizontally abduct the shoulder

36
New cards

trapezius action

upper fibers (bilaterally)- extend the head and neck

upper fibers (unilaterally)- laterally flex the head and neck to the same side, rotate the head and neck to the opposite side, elevate the scapula (scapulothoracic joint), upwardly rotate the scapula

middle fibers- adduct the scapula, stabilize the scapula

lower fibers- depress the scapula, upwardly rotate the scapula

37
New cards

latissimus dorsi action

-extend the shoulder (glenohumeral joint)

-adduct the shoulder

-medially rotate the shoulder

38
New cards

teres major action

-extend the shoulder (glenohumeral joint)

-adduct the shoulder

-medially rotate the shoulder

39

-stabilize the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity

40
New cards

-medially rotate the shoulder (glenohumeral joint)

-stabilize the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity

41
New cards

supraspinatus action

-abduct the shoulder (glenohumeral joint)
