| | Chapter 8: THE SHOULDER AND AXILLA |
| | Paralysis of the serratus anterior (e.g., from injury or inflammation of its nerve) is characterized by "winging" of the scapula, i.e., the medial border of the bone stands away from the chest wall. | | | Similarly, in flexion the arm is carried anterior and medial across the front of the chest, and in extension it moves posterior and lateral away from the chest. | | | The ulnar nerve supplies some of the flexor muscles of the anterior forearm, many of the short muscles of the hand, and the skin on the medial part of the palmar and dorsal aspect of the hand. |

| | During the 31- to 60-degree phase, the decreased serratus anterior muscle activity was consistent with decreased upward rotation in the subjects with shoulder impingement. | | | For the serratus anterior muscle, the subject was seated and resistance was applied to a forward thrust of the arm and protraction of the scapula. | | | In the analysis of serratus anterior muscle EMG activity, data from 2 of the 52 subjects (1 subject in each group) were of inadequate quality and were not used in subsequent analysis. |

| | The mechanism of long thoracic nerve injury and the clinical significance of serratus anterior muscle palsy are discussed as well as the rationa le for early detection and proper physical therapy management. | | | From studies on cadavera and clinical observations, we concluded that paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle results from a traction injury to the long thoracic nerve of Bell. | | | CONCLUSION: Serratus anterior paralysis, following anesthesia or local invasive procedures on the anterolateral aspect of the thorax, may cause considerable and long-term dysfunction of the shoulder girdle and affect the function of the whole upper limb. |

| | Muscles of the Pectoral, Back and Shoulder Regions |
| | The muscles of the shoulder are divided into three groups: (1) the superficial extrinsic muscles (trapezius and latissimus dorsi); (2) the deep extrinsic muscles (levator scapulae, rhomboids, and serratus anterior); and (3) the intrinsic muscles (deltoid, supraspinous, infraspinous, teres minor, teres major, and subscapularis). | | | This is a large, foliate muscle that overlies the lateral portion of the thorax and the intercostal muscles. | | | In performing these movements, the deltoid works with other muscles, e.g., the anterior part acts with the pectoralis major and coracobrachialis muscles in flexing the arm. |

| | However, there are a lot of yogis and yoginis whose serratus anterior are contracted and weak and unable to maintain their arm in an overhead position, leaving them prone to unfortunate dysfunction of their shoulder girdle which can lead to neck pain, elbow pain and wrist pain. | | | The serratus anterior directly affects the movement of the scapula. | | | However, if the connection between the shoulder girdle and the spine is dysfunctional it can lead to compression of the cervical vertebrae andrepetitive strain issues in the elbows and wrists. |

| | Anterior (subscapularis) and posterior (infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor) views of each of the rotator cuff muscles are illustrated, along with a lateral view of all four muscles and their anatomical relation to the glenoid fossa. | | | Simulations have also indicated that shoulder stability may be compromised by unbalanced stimulated contractions of large shoulder muscles such as the pectoralis major, but also that appropriate actions of stabilizing muscles such as the rotator cuff and serratus anterior can restore the balance and maintain stability. | | | As indicated in Figure 3, the muscles of the shoulder and elbow primarily receive their spinal innervation from cervical levels, so SCI in this region affects shoulder function to a degree dependent on the level and extent of the injury. |

| | It has been our experience that electromyographers are sometimes reluctant to approach the serratus anterior with a recording needle for fear of traversing the chest wall and causing a pneumothorax. | | | The lack of supportive electrical data is probably related to the difficulty of placing a recording needle within the substance of the serratus anterior muscle, given its relatively deep location on the chest wall. | | | The tendency toward normal readings after serratus anterior testing in our population may then be inferred as arising from inadvertent testing of the latissimus dorsi, teres major or other unaffected chest wall muscles. |

| | The serratus pulls the scapula forwards around the chest wall, as occurs during chest movements. | | | The serratus works with the trapezius to rotate the scapula for flexion and abduction of the arm. | | | From what I understand, contraction of the chest, lats, and intercoastals/external obliques will call the serratus into play as a supporting muscle (the body prefers to perform tasks with as many muscles as possible, though a few are often emphasized and the others merely assist in some way). |
