The levator scapulae is a slender [1]: 910 skeletal muscle situated at the back and side of the neck. It originates from the transverse processes of the four uppermost cervical vertebrae ; it inserts onto the upper portion of the medial border of the scapula .
Apex: Union of the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius muscles at the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone. Anteriorly: Posterior border of the sternocleidomastoideus. Posteriorly: Anterior border of the trapezius. Inferiorly: Middle one third of the clavicle. Roof: Investing layer of the deep cervical fascia. Floor: (From superior to ...
The posterior axioappendicular muscles are described as two sub-groups: [1] [3] Superficial Posterior Axioappendicular muscles (or the extrinsic shoulder muscles) Trapezius; Latissimus dorsi; Deep Posterior Axioappendicular muscles (or the intrinsic shoulder muscles) Levator scapulae; Rhomboid minor; Rhomboid major

The movement performed by the muscle from the standard anatomical position. In other positions, other actions may be performed. Antagonist The muscle which can 'cancel' or to some degree reverse the action of the muscle. Muscle synergies are noted in parentheses when relevant. O (Occurrences) Number of times that the named muscle row occurs in ...
They are located laterally to the transverse processes between prevertebral muscles from the medial side and vertebral (m. scalenus, m. levator scapulae, m. splenius cervicis) from lateral side. There is anastomosis with accessory nerve, hypoglossal nerve and sympathetic trunk. It is located in the neck, deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle. [5]
Contrary to popular belief, muscle memory isn’t about your muscles remembering anything—it’s how your brain and body work together to create efficient movement patterns through repetitive ...
Dorsal scapular nerve syndrome can be caused by nerve compression syndrome.A winged scapula is the most common symptom. [7] Shoulder pain may occur. [7] It causes weakness in rhomboid major muscle, rhomboid minor muscle, and levator scapulae muscle. [7]
