Class Description
Learning Objectives



Students understand the movements and agonists for the scapulothoracic* and
glenohumeral joints
Students remember the two strongest agonists for each movement (note - I have
taken liberties with the information provided by the Trail Guide, to be more
nearly in line with other sources, as well as to simplify this information)
Scapulothoracic, a term used by Trail Guide to the Body, refers to the "joint"
between the scapula and the rib cage. There is, in fact, no bony articulation
between these two bones. The only bony attachment of the shoulder girdle to the
trunk is, of course, the sternoclavicular joint. The two bony surfaces mentioned
in the term "scapulothoracic" are actually separated by the subscapularis and
serratus anterior muscle bellies
