  • Movements of the trunk 1. Flexion/Extension 2. Lateral Flexion 3. Rotation 
  • Muscles of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall + role - 2 rectus abdominis muscles (either side of the midline) - External/Internal/Transversus abdominis (anterolateral) - linea alba (connective tissue) --> attachment  --> moving the trunk, pressure in the abdominal cavity 
  • Muscles of the back + role - erector spinae (along each side of the spinous processesof the vertebrae) --> 3 discrete groups --> extension of spine, erect posture
  • Movements at the scapulothoracic and glenohumeral joint 1. Scapulothoracic joint movements scapula: - Protraction/retraction - Elevation/depression - Rotation  2. Glenohumeral joint: - multi-axial
  • Muscles acting upon the glenohumeral joint 1. Deltoid (thick triangular) - prox. attachment to the clavicle (acromion process + spine) - dist. attachment to shaft of humerus  --> abduction, flexion, extension 2. Pectoralis major - prox. attachment to clavicle, manubrium and body of sternum - dist. attachment to humerus + lip of intertubercular (bicipital) groove
