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 upper and lower fibers work in tandem with serratus anterior to upwardly rotate the scapulae, and work in opposition to the levator scapulae and ...
At the glenohumeral joint, movement of the humerus is performed by a combination of transverse abduction, by the posterior and lateral deltoids, [3] and external rotation, by the infraspinatus and teres minor. [4] At the scapulothoracic joint, the middle and lower fibers of the trapezius and the rhomboids contract to perform retraction of the ...
Costal aspect of medial margin of the scapula: Artery: Lateral thoracic artery, superior thoracic artery (upper part), thoracodorsal artery (lower part) Nerve: Long thoracic nerve (from roots of brachial plexus C5-C7) Actions: Protracts and stabilizes scapula, assists in upward rotation. Antagonist: Rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, trapezius ...

Cable pull-down exercise to the front with a medium-width overhand (pronated) grip. The pull-down exercise is a strength training exercise designed to develop the latissimus dorsi muscle. It performs the functions of downward rotation and depression of the scapulae combined with adduction and extension of the shoulder joint.
levator scapulae, the upper fibers of the trapezius Scapular depression [12] The scapula is lowered from elevation. The scapulae may be depressed so that the angle formed by the neck and shoulders is obtuse, giving the appearance of "slumped" shoulders. [citation needed] pectoralis minor, lower fibers of the trapezius, subclavius, latissimus dorsi
The upright row is a weight training exercise performed by holding a weight with an overhand grip and lifting it straight up to the collarbone. This is a compound exercise that involves the trapezius, the deltoids and the biceps. The narrower the grip the more the trapezius muscles are exercised, as opposed to the deltoids.
