we test
supraspinatus
by having pt resist abduction (0-20 degrees) (muscle should be tense)
infraspinatus origin:
spine
supraspinatus' main function is
abduction
infraspinatus' main function is to
externally rotate
we test
infraspinatus
by having pt resist external rotation (elbow at side, push hard against hand)(muscle should be tense)
teres minor's main function is to
externally rotate
bicep (long head) origin:
supraglenoid tubercle
(vertical to the bicipital groove)
bicep (short head) origin:
coracoid process
we test
bicep (long head)
by having pt resist shoulder flexion (hold up simba, push down on end w/1 finger)(muscle should hurt when pushed on)
the main function of the bicep (long head) is to abduct the arm (
shoulder flexion
)
the main functions of the
pec major
are internal rotation, shoulder flexion, and shoulder extension
latissimus dorsi origin:
iliac crest
and
sacrum
latissimus dorsi insertion:
bicipital groove
latissimus dorsi action:
internal rotation
deltoids (anterior) origin:
lateral 3rd
of
clavicle
deltoids (middle) insertion:
acromion process
deltoids (posterior) origin:
spine of scap
deltoids (anterior & posterior) insertion:
deltoid tuberosity
deltoids (middle) origin:
deltoid tuberosity
we test the
deltoids
by having pt resist abduction (anterior), flexion (anterior), and extension (posterior, have pt push backwards)
deltoids insertion:
deltoid tuberosity
(a & p),
acromion process
(middle)
deltoids origin:
spine
of
scap
(p),
lateral 3rd
or
clavicle
(a), and
deltoid tuberosity
(middle)
