  2. Levator scapulae muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levator_scapulae_muscle

    Downward rotation would be prevented by co-contraction of other muscles that elevate the spine, the upper fibers of the trapezius, which is an upward rotator. When the shoulder is fixed, levator scapulae rotates to the same side and flexes the cervical spine laterally.

    Muscles Scapular retraction [10] (aka scapular adduction) 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)

  4. Eden–Lange procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden–Lange_procedure

    Additional muscle deficits can contraindicate tendon transfer, namely the serratus anterior muscle or the muscles-to-be-transferred themselves. Serratus anterior muscle deficit is another cause of scapular winging and decreases the efficacy of an Eden–Lange procedure, but it can be overcome with a simultaneous pectoralis major transfer .

  5. Pull-down (exercise) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull-down_(exercise)

    The pec minor also works in conjunction with the rhomboid muscle and levator scapulae to perform downward rotation of the scapulae. Muscles which attach to the scapulae that adduct and extend the arm include the posterior deltoid muscles, the teres major, and minor stabilizing contribution from some rotator cuff muscles (infraspinatus and teres ...

  7. Serratus anterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serratus_anterior_muscle

    The serratus anterior is occasionally called the "big swing muscle" or "boxer's muscle" [5] because it is largely responsible for the protraction of the scapula — that is, the pulling of the scapula forward and around the rib cage that occurs when someone throws a punch.
