Shoulder Girdle Anatomy: Muscle Actions

[@DrJacobGoodin]

The number of likes on this comment is the number of people who just corrected their forward head posture by retracting their scapulae (and extending their thoracic spine aka thoracic reduction)

[@CharlieHuter]

I appreciated how you went over every individual muscle and broke it down in a simpler way so anyone could understand.

[@isabellefernandez-es1ej]

I really appreciated the simplicity in the way he explains things because these can be so complex.

[@alanaguinaldo9146]

Thank you for including images of each muscle and where it attaches. This helps visualize where each muscle is located and the action it does.

[@KatieGonella]

This video went over the muscles of the shoulder girdle and the way they move. I appreciated the detailed explanations Dr. Goodin gave with each of the pictures of the muscles.

[@xaviergamez5745]

This video was perfect not only for learning the actions of the muscles in the shoulder girdle but also for learning where in our bodies they are. I always love when you include how to strengthen the muscles that we learn about and discuss proper and improper form for the exercises that you mention.

[@larissavenegas7104]

this video described the 5 main shoulder girdle muscles and each of their respective positions and actions. i really appreciate how dr. goodin explains everything and breaks it down into very manageable chunks of information.

[@katherine_heekin]

I liked how you individually went over each muscle, highlighting where they are located, and the actions they perform. I was also consciously sitting up straight this whole video with my shoulders retracting.

[@hectorcardenas5550]

I appreciate the minimalism of the pictures on the slides, the shoulder girdle has so many small muscles and some we may not even cover yet. Despite the trade off of many slides the less the crowded the picture the easier it is for me to demarcate the muscles and better understand their line of action and how that actually translates in things such as upward rotation.

[@shelby-omara]

I really appreciated how Dr. Goodin made it clear that the five muscles of the shoulder do not attach to the humerus and do not cause shoulder joint actions. When I think of the shoulder, I normally think of the head of the humerus, however, the video made it clear that the shoulder muscles all originate on the axial skeleton and insert on the scapula or clavicle.

[@isabellecousineau302]

My posture is officially fixed thanks to this video!

[@LaurenSaalberg]

Thanks for including pictures and drawing on them to help explain more in depth. I also appreciate how you grouped the muscles it makes so much sense

[@ameliabrock]

I appreciate the emphasis on learning through palpation and movement analysis-a hands-on approach really helps my understanding!

[@shelbyriem]

All of the pictures help explain the actions of the scapula, which is super helpful for such a challenging topic

[@IvyBartlett]

This video was excellent for teaching the locations of the shoulder girdle muscles in our bodies as well as their movements. I always appreciate it when you talk about the right and wrong form for the exercises you provide as well as how to strengthen the muscles we learn about.

[@gracehalcomb]

I liked that you providing real life examples of why this information is important, such as for throwing, batting, posture, blocking, etc. This video also helped me better understand how to improve my posture by focusing on the musculature.

[@HenryDaRe-v8o]

Traps, rhomboids, lev. scap., serratus anterior, pec. minor are the 5 primary muscles involved in shoulder girdle movement. I appreciate you breaking down the directions that the muscle pull. The line of pull helps me make sense of each muscle. I will ask my study partners if I can palpate them as they contract and move in all directions after class. Like you said, our own bodies are the best study guides! Thanks for the tip!

[@EllaLamp]

It is helpful that you give examples of traditional exercises that target each of the muscles. Making those connections makes it easier for me to remember which actions go with which muscles.

[@alexiaharlow8565]

I really appreciated the way you showed the direction in which muscles get pulled. As someone who is very visual, it helps me visualize where/how the muscle is moving as well as how it will affect the whole shoulder girdle to move.

[@SageFisher-q3r]

I definitely became much more aware of my posture thanks to this video! The images and descriptions of each muscle helped me understand the muscle actions.

[@gaelruiz488]

It makes it so much easier to remember how a muscle is working whenever you give us examples, for example the chest dip working the pec minor, activating the scapula by retracting it posteriorly.

[@NoelleDarquea]

The way you broke down the muscles and described where each of them were and what they do is super helpful in order for me to break it down during an exam and take it step by step

[@emilyannhively]

It is very helpful how you provided the words on the screen, a visual picture of the muscles/ scapula, plus your own demonstration

[@JoeyPagola]

It is so cool to see the functions of each of the shoulder girdle muscles and then to see the anatomy to understand the why behind the action. Each muscle serves a specific purpose and it is quite amazing to understand how these muscles actually work in our bodies all the time.

[@ReeseWoodson]

I like how Dr. Goodin describes exercises that may strengthen these muscles or how we use these muscles to move our scapula on a daily basis. It helps to connect what he is saying to body movements we already know.

[@timnoveda4004]

The visuals/explanation on the different line of pull of the five muscles involved in shoulder girdle movement was extremely helpful!

[@willhopkins4197]

Another great and helpful video. Once again a great reminder that my own body is the best anatomy study tool!

[@kolbysowvlen2386]

I like the teaching patterns and ideas discussed in this video regarding the Shoulder Girdle; it gave me a better understanding of how, why, and what muscles actually do with our movements.

[@JosephBatres0000]

This video was helpful in showing the muscles clearly in the shoulder girdle and their function.

[@KaitlynJungers]

This video all goes back to the anatomy of the human body. It was more in-depth and a great refresher.

[@rbello_87]

I think its been really helpful that you've included a few exercises with each muscle because it helps to kind of visualize each action of the muscles.

[@KelseyWilliams-vr8kn]

This video was great for reviewing the scapular muscles. I appreciate the brush strokes to help show the actions of the muscles.

[@emmasanchez5975]

This video is definitely going to help me with my posture. After watching this I now correct my posture as much as I can.

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

The slides that show each of the individual muscles was a great visual that gave me a better understanding of how the muscles move the shoulder girdle.

[@TreyWeedman]

This video was a great beginning to learning the actions of the shoulder girdle muscles. The exercises provided were helpful to see how they apply to common movements.

[@luciavaldez2601]

it is super helpful to me how you went through each muscle, not only describing it but also showing exactly where it is using images. having visuals really helps me when it comes to recognizing where muscles are within each body part!

[@KarinaBrambila04]

This video very clearly explained what muscles cause what movements. The images along with the examples of exercises that target certain muscles are very useful in understanding the muscle actions.

[@AlanaGilliland18]

I like the image that showed the lines of movements along the scapula and what muscles were performing those movements. It was a simple breakdown of the movements and was easy to understand.

[@NathanHanson-gt2kq]

I benefitted from the step-by-step underlining as the muscle actions were explained.

[@brandonkotlarczyk]

I love how this video goes in-depth about the musculature of the shoulder joint because of how complex and mobile the joint is. Going in-depth on the prime movers of the shoulder joint provides an explanation as to how it is as movable as it is. I did not know about the subclavian muscle that provides stability for the SC joint, but also makes sense why there are common injuries in this area, as it is not strong or large

[@shannontingleff]

It really helps me remember what each of the muscles do when you explain where they are and how each fiber can make these motions happen

[@ChristopherBarrena]

The images with the muscles of the shoulder girdle with the line of pull really helps to visualize how all of the muscles work together to support the shoulder.

[@hannahchacon9621]

I really enjoyed how interactive this lesson was. It was very helpful to learn about the different exercises that can help strengthen the shoulder girdle.

[@sydneycheng2264]

I appreciate you offering exercises to strengthen the individual muscles that are involved with these muscle groups. It really opens my perspective when I'm working out myself!

[@maceygroves6031]

I really liked how simple and organized this video made every action of the muscles. I loved getting more information about things that I already learned in Anatomy

[@oliviashaw3148]

The layout of this video was very organized and it went through the muscles of the shoulder girdle and their actions well.

[@LucasClarkston]

I really like how he went in depth on each different muscle it was really helpful.

[@isabellarondon235]

Knowing the muscle actions is super helpful because it helped me remember where certain processes of the scapula are located and their actions specifically.

[@livingston-b]

This video is such a great review of muscle anatomy around the shoulder girdle! It's so helpful to also list the actions of these muscles!

[@CassandraLuciani]

I liked how in this video we talked about parallel bar dips and how that relates to certain muscles like the pec minor muscles. This video overall does a great job of breaking down muscles for each movement and I like how we go in depth about it.

[@JacobCampman]

Having short videos or photos of someone demonstrating the action makes it easier to understand.

[@makennans]

The visuals on this video were super helpful. It's so cool to see how by looking at a photo of a muscle you can almost guess what it does because the direction and angle of a muscle directly correlates to its action.

[@anthonymartinez8962]

I really liked how you mentioned the origin and insertion of each muscle, it allowed me to get a better understanding of where the different muscles are located!

[@calebussery5319]

There are so many muscles in such a small area. Watching this helped me differentiate the actions of all of the shoulder muscles.

[@ryanharris8481]

The shoulder girdle has a great amount of muscles that can all do different things. This video helped me understand the different muscles and their actions with respect to the shoulder girdle.

[@JonathanShimasaki]

I am taking so much from these videos in particular especially after my surgeries..realizing the places that have atrophied over the years and explain some of my shoulder compensations

[@ChristianScandrett]

Drawing out the way each muscle runs and doing the selp palpations was super helpful for understanding where each muscle is and how it acts upon each portion of the body.

[@Jerel_Q]

The postural muscle portion of this video was important as you stated how everything is in front of us when sitting at a desk or sitting in general. The importance of having a good posture can’t be emphasized enough.

[@JennaDeFalkenberg]

I liked the real-life examples and how this information can be applied. Also learning the different muscle joints helped me visualize the different movements.

[@RyanDoyle-o4t]

super interesting to learn how the muscles work and attach. Him highlighting in red on how each muscle moves was super nice and easy to follow.

[@avajgallo]

I liked how you added in what exercises are best for certain muscles. This helps everything connect

[@evakoutelieris9550]

I liked how there is a variety of exercises and movements described to correct and work on the different parts of the shoulder girdle.

[@AnnaEngels0022]

Seeing the way that all the muscles act on the scapula gave me a greater understanding of the muscle functions. I definitely tried to correct my posture while watching this video!

[@macynunez4455]

I think it's so interesting how much angles play a role in how muscles move the scapula and just perform their actions in general. It's cool to be able to apply this info to working out because positions and angles you take are what determine the muscle you target. So awesome!

[@JoshMurray-x7y]

The description of the muscle actions in this video were excellent, it really helped seeing the muscle diagrams so I could visualize where they attach and how the Scapula moves when they contract. For example, When thinking about the lower trapezius, I didn't consider that they aid in upward rotation but being able to see the point of insertion helped it make sense.

[@caleighgarcia7792]

I liked how you went through each of the primary muscles and went more into detail about what they did.

[@SierraNunes0022]

This video focused on the muscles involved in the shoulder girdle. I liked how he talked about posture towards the beginning of the video since I think it affects pretty much all of us nowadays.

[@tianguyen3897]

This video was very intriguing because I never realized how many different muscles were primarily involved in shoulder girdle movements. The breakdown of each muscle gave me a greater appreciation for my own body!

[@wyattcarlson7504]

I really like how this video explains the muscles of the scapula and how they can affect our physical form in the way of our posture. It is definitely something I will try to focus on more now in the future.

[@makaylanorwood1713]

This video really solidified my understanding of the muscle actions of the shoulder girdle!

[@MicahMurphy-ty8oe]

I appreciated the highlighted muscle joints, it helped me visualize the different aspects of rotation and contraction.

[@PLNUstephaniekhin]

This video provided well detailed information on learning the actions of the muscles in the shoulder girdle. This is a good refresh of anatomy

[@dianalira6870]

I liked that you went through why each joint and muscle is important to not just the shoulder but to the rest of the body. Sometimes we don't realize how many muscles it takes to move the shoulder.

[@alannabergherm8046]

This video really helped me understand what the 5 muscles do specifically in shoulder girdle movements.

[@jessiesophie]

The shoulder girdle movement was really explained thoroughly and i was also enlightened on how each muscle inserts into its origin.

[@JonathanKozasky]

I loved the picture that showed which muscles move the scapula in each direction.

[@LukeMoore-cx4iz]

The way you drew the fibers for the different muscles was very helpful when learning what kind of action it does. This will come in handy when I need to palpate the structures and describe what they do.

[@HadenAusland]

The Ideas of how to use these muscles as study tools and your examples of palpation were helpful

[@mollytucker567]

We learned all about the muscles of the body in anatomy, however, I found that this video did a better job of helping me visualize what muscles assist in specific movements.

[@torilucht5871]

I really enjoyed this video and apprecieted how in-depth you went to explain the 5 main muscles in the shoulder girdle. Understanding these muscles makes it easier to understand shoulder movement and how it works.

[@tsalazar0020]

I liked how you went through the different structures and gave examples of exercises to do with them. This was very helpful towards my learning.

[@moirabryson5042]

I really liked how each movement was explained and sorted into which muscles do what and that not all these muscles have a movement. The posture fixing is a little benefit from this that I needed.

[@zanedirenzo5820]

Going in depth with these muscle angles was very helpful and a lot more in depth than anatomy.

[@miadenava585]

Thank you for including visuals for each of the shoulder muscles. This video was very informative and helpful.

[@kieranmccarty1039]

This video was one of my favorites! I really enjoyed looking over scapula posture and the weak and tightness. Thank you Dr. Goodwin!

[@thomaskinzler]

The in depth look at the muscles was very helpful for me. To be able to visualize the lines of pull was very useful. This helped me to connect where the insertion points are to how contraction affects the girdle movement.

[@taylorrobertson8274]

I have never heard of the subclavis muscle! I really enjoyed learning about the functions and movements of all the muscles of the shoulder girdle. These videos remind me to correct my posture!

[@BrianaReynoso]

The video was incredibly well-formatted! I found it very helpful in distinguishing exactly what each muscle does. I've been taught this numerous times, but it has never been as clear as in this video.

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

This video really helped me to understand how each muscle contracts to move scapula.

[@victoriatilden4053]

I liked the contrast between the images. The images that contained all the muscles was informative but I enjoyed seeing what some of these look like in a real human, so that was very helpful.

[@alexdavidson294]

As a Kin major I am surprised that some of this postural information is brand new to me! Stoked to have these new tips and tricks to fix my posture while sitting on my computer, car, ect.

[@ltapia0022]

It is so interesting to see all the muscles that are involved with shoulder girdle movement. It isn't just muscle surrounding the area but it also includes muscles such as the trapezius and rhomboid that also run along the spine.

[@HBchun]

It has always been important to me to get up and stretch my back after sitting for long periods of time. Now I know why it is so beneficial to do so and that specifically, I'm retracting my scapulas from a protracted position.

[@DrJacobGoodin]

probably would be good to add a couple pec stretches as well as some thoracic spine mobility!

[@Heriberto-pj7bt]

Again, I have to say these presentations are way better at explaining these concepts than my college anatomy class.

[@DevanneyBoyd]

This video was a great refresher, and the thorough explanations of each muscle action were very helpful.

[@aleucht]

The breakdown of the muscles to their region was helpful to remember what they did

[@KylanJohnson-hu1lr]

This video served as a great tool for review. This really helped me recall the action of the muscles that move the shoulder. I also liked how you talked about where the muscle is and how that has an effect on the muscle's action.

[@mackenziehustead4037]

The trapezius muscle is so cool! There are three parts and it is able to perform so many actions on the shoulder girdle. It can elevate, upwardly rotate, adduct, and depress the shoulder girdle.

[@birileon4731]

Enjoyed the overview of the muscles but also the mechanism & function of each one to really understand them individually

[@gabbyschroeter8915]

I thought it was very helpful how in depth the description of each muscle location and action was. It helped me better understand and also visually see the way each muscle works.
