In addition to scapular translation, the trapezius induces scapular rotation. The upper and lower fibers tend to rotate the scapula around the sternoclavicular articulation so that the acromion and inferior angles move up and the medial border moves down (upward rotation).
The original technique was first described by Eden [4] in 1924 and verified by Lange in the 1950s. [5] [6] The rhomboid major and rhomboid minor were transferred laterally from the medial border of the scapula to the infraspinatous fossa, and the levator scapulae was transferred laterally to the spine of the scapula, near the acromion.
The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps. [1] The face pull is considered an important exercise for shoulder health and stability. [2]
These exercises are used to increase stability, strength and range of motion of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles within the rotator cuff. [26] Passive exercises include internal and external rotation of the shoulder joint, as well as flexion and extension of the shoulder. [26]
The combination of scapulothoracic exercises and glenohumeral exercises allow for a more effective healing process. Scapulothoracic exercises focus on movements of the scapula relative to the thoracic ribcage. Muscle groups such as serratus anterior, trapezius, and rhomboid major/minor need to be strengthened to allow for shoulder function.
Shoulder shrug exercises can help to strengthen neck and shoulder muscles which in results help to reduce neck pain. The core muscle that gets activated during shoulder shrugs are trapezius. [ 7 ]
The shrug is a classic bodybuilding exercise that targets your traps, but MH experts say it's ineffective. Here are three alternative moves for your workouts. Stop Doing Shrugs.
The scapula is moved posteriorly and medially along the back, moving the arm and shoulder joint posteriorly. Retracting both scapulae gives a sensation of "squeezing the shoulder blades together." rhomboideus major, minor, and trapezius Scapular protraction [10] (aka scapular abduction) The opposite motion of scapular retraction.
