Description


Attachments


Actions

  • Role of scapula[1]
    • Provides synchronous scapular rotation during humeral motion
    • Serves as a stable base for Rotator Cuff activation
    • Functions as a link in the kinetic chain
  • Planes of motion[2]
    • Upward/downward rotation around a horizontal axis perpendicular to the plane of the scapula
    • Internal/external rotation around a vertical axis through the plane of the scapula
    • Anterior/posterior tilt around a horizontal axis in the plane of the scapula
  • Planes of translation
    • Upward/downward translation on the thoracic wall
    • Retraction (posterior, medial)/protraction (anterior, lateral) around the rounded thorax
  • Action by muscle group
