🗑
pectoralis major-origin clavicular head   medial half of clavicle  
🗑
pectoralis major-origin sternal head   sternum, cartilages of upper 6 ribs  
🗑
pectoralis major-insertion   lateral lip of bicipital (intertubercular) groove of humerus  
🗑
pectoralis major-action   adduction, horizontal adduction & medial rotation of humerus  
🗑
pectoralis major-action clavicular head   flexion of humerus  
🗑
pectoralis major-action sternal head   extension of humerus from a flexed position  
🗑
palpation of supraspinatus   prone-locate spine of scapula, slide fingers up into supraspinous fossa, palpate thru trapezius onto fibers of supraspinatus,(fibers run parallel to spine), follow belly laterally until it tucks under acromion  
🗑
palpation of supraspinatus   have client's arm by their side, have them abduct against resistance & feel supraspinatus contract  
🗑
palpation of infraspinatus   prone-forearm off table, locate spine, axillary border & vertebral border of scapula,form a triangle around infraspinatus by laying a finger along each of these landmarks  
🗑
palpation of infraspinatus   palpate in the triangle & strum across fibers, check position, with forearm off side of table, ask client to alternately raise their elbow one inch toward ceiling & relax, should feel muscle contract  
🗑
palpation of teres minor   prone-arm off side of table, locate superior axillary border of scapula, slide off laterally onto teres minor, compress into & across its tube-shaped belly, reach up & grasp belly  
🗑
palpation of teres minor   check position, ask client to laterally rotate their shoulder  
🗑
palpation of subscapularis   supine-cradle arm in flexed position, slowly sink your thumbpad onto subscapular fossa, adjust arm & scapula as you progress  
🗑
palpation of subscapularis   check position, ask client to medially rotate arm  
🗑
palpation of erector spinae   prone-lay both hands along either side of lumbar vertebrae, locate region of lower erector spinae by having client alternately raise & lower their feet slightly, notice strong, round erector fibers tighten & relax  
🗑
palpation of erector spinae   as your client continues this action palpate inferiorly onto sacrum & then superiorly along throacic vertebrae, with client relaxed, sink your fingers into erector fibers, feel their ropy texture & vertical fiber direction
