Strengthening the Upper Trapezius Muscles and Checking Out the Rhomboid Muscles Regarding Scapular Control for a Pain Free Shoulder Joint
Dr. David Middaugh of El Paso Manual Physical Therapy Clinic explains 16 points involving shoulder and scapular rotation mechanics that help an individual understand how to prevent damage and pain in the shoulder joint (SOURCE: YouTube@@epmanualphysicaltherapy). Dr. David Middaugh, PT, DPT provides sixteen points to consider to help the healthy mechanics of the shoulder joint and scapular rotation. The two points of many important points that stand out are ... 1) the importance of upper trapezius muscle strength for the power to upwardly rotate the scapula (shoulder blade) to lift the shoulder joint to contribute to the full 180-degree motion of lifting the arm, and 2) the importance of the consideration of rhomboid muscles, which can possibly over-dominate the balance equation of scapular mechanics and inhibit the lift of the shoulder joint. Dr. David Middaugh explains that the involvement of 180 degrees of typical range of motion of the arm from side to overhead is provided by...
