|
Flexion of Shoulder
Bending the joint resulting in a decrease of angle; moving the upper arm upward to the front. |
Deltoid (anterior)
Deltoid (lateral) Pectoralis major (clavicular head) Coracobrachialis Biceps brachii (short head) |
|
|
Extension of Shoulder
Straightening the joint resulting in an increase of angle; moving the upper arm down to the rear. |
Latissimus dorsi
Deltoid (posterior) Pectoralis major (sternal head) Teres major Triceps brachii (long head) |
|
|
Adduction of Shoulder
Medial movement toward the midline of the body; moving the upper arm down to the side toward the body. |
Latissimus dorsi
Pectoralis major (sternal head) Pectoralis major (clavicular head) Teres major Coracobrachialis Triceps brachii (long head) |
|
|
Abduction of Shoulder
Lateral movement away from the midline of the body; moving the upper arm up to the side away from the body. |
Deltoid (lateral)
Deltoid (anterior) Supraspinatus Pectoralis major (clavicular head) |
|
|
Transverse Adduction of Shoulder
Medial movement toward the midline of the body in a horizontal plane; moving the upper arm toward and across the chest with the back of the arm facing down. |
Pectoralis major (sternal head)
Pectoralis major (clavicular head) Coracobrachialis |
|
|
Transverse Flexion of Shoulder
Medial movement toward the midline of the body in a horizontal plane; moving the upper arm toward and across the chest with the elbows facing out to the sides. |

|
|
Transverse Extension of Shoulder
Lateral movement away from the midline of the body in a horizontal plane; moving the upper arm away from the chest with the elbows out to the sides. |
Deltoid (posterior)
Latissimus dorsi Infraspinatus Teres minor |
|
|
Medial Rotation(Internal Rotation) of Shoulder
Rotary movement around the longitudinal axis of the bone toward the center of the body; turning the upper arm inward. See shoulder internal rotation inflexibility. |
Pectoralis major (sternal head)
Pectoralis major (clavicular head) Latissimus dorsi Deltoid (anterior) Subscapularis Teres major Supraspinatus * *When shoulder is flexed |
|
|
Lateral Rotation (External Rotation) of Shoulder
Rotary movement around the longitudinal axis of the bone away from the center of the body; turning the upper arm outward. See shoulder external rotation inflexibility. |
Teres minor
Infraspinatus Deltoid (posterior) Supraspinatus * *When shoulder is abducted |
