  2. Latissimus dorsi muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latissimus_dorsi_muscle

    Tight latissimus dorsi has been shown to be a contributor to chronic shoulder pain and chronic back pain. [10] Because the latissimus dorsi connects the spine to the humerus, tightness in this muscle can manifest as either sub-optimal glenohumeral joint (shoulder) function which leads to chronic pain or tendinitis in the tendinous fasciae ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracolumbar_fascia

    The thoracolumbar fascia is thought to be involved in load transfer between the trunk and limb (it is tensioned by the action of the latissimus dorsi muscle, gluteus maximus muscle, and the hamstring muscles), and lifting. [1]: 814–815 It is endowed with nociceptive receptors, and may be involved in some forms of back pain. [1]: 814–815

    The axillary arch is an arch-shaped anatomical variant of the latissimus dorsi muscle of the human back. [6] [7] Its shape varies, but its defining characteristics are its origin from the latissimus dorsi muscle, its insertion close to or on the upper anterior part of the humerus, and that it crosses the neurovascular bundle associated with the axillary nerve from dorsomedial to ventrolateral. [6]

    inferiorly, by the latissimus dorsi; laterally, by the medial border of the scapula; The superficial floor of the triangle is formed by the lateral portion of the erector spinae muscles. Deep to these muscles are the osseous portions of the 6th and 7th ribs and the internal and external intercostal muscles.
