There are many different types of movements of the shoulder joint and each movement requires the cooperation of muscles that attach to the scapula. The muscles involved are: Levator scapulae, Rhomboid Major, Rhomboid Minor, Latissimus dorsi, Trapezius, Deltoid, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Teres Major, and Subscapularis.

Medial rotation of the arm can be performed by a combination of muscles: pectoralis major, subscapularis, and teres major. Also to a lesser extent, the latissmus dorsi can too.

What is medial rotation of the hand?

Medial rotation of the forearm is called pronation in its broadest sense, so "medial rotation of the arm" most probably refers to movement at the shoulder.The best example is if you flex your forearm at 90° to your arm, and you bring your hand to your midline, this is medial rotation of the arm at the shoulder.Medial rotation of the arm is the rotation of the humerus(arm bone) around its long axis (imagine a line from elbow to shoulder).

What muscles are used in hip medial rotation?

Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;


What movement does the shoulder joint allow?

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, which is the type that allows the greatest range of movement. it allows the arm to move forward and backward (as when you swing your arms while walking); abduction and adduction (as in jumping jacks); and many intermediate movements.

What does the scapula protect in the body?

Scapula is the scientific term for shoulder blade. It provides a foundation for the attachments of the muscles that move the arm.There are many functions of the scapula. It forms part of the shoulder girdle and many (16) muscles are associated with it.The actions that the muscles have on it include: elevation (shrugging), depression (slumping), abduction, adduction, rotation, and tipping.The scapula omo (shoulder blade) is the bone which connects the humerous (arm bone) to the clavicle (collar bone) Movements of the scapula are brought about by scapular muscles: Elevation, Depression, Protraction, Retraction, Lateral rotation, Medial rotation, Upward Rotation, Downward Rotation, Anterior Tipping, and Posterior Tipping
