27 Ιαν 2021 · Protraction involves the moving of the scapulae forward (anteriorly) and toward the side of the body (laterally), in an anterolateral movement. Retraction involves the moving of the...
25 Ιαν 2022 · What Is Scapular Protraction? Also called abduction of the scapula, this is when the scapulae move laterally away from the spine. It is essentially the opposite of scapular retraction. The muscles involved in shoulder abduction are the serratus anterior, pectoralis major, and pectoralis minor. Why Is Scapular Retraction Important?
3 Νοε 2023 · The movements within the scapulothoracic junction are described into three degrees of freedom; elevation-depression, protraction-retraction, external rotation-internal rotation. This article will discuss the anatomy and function of the scapulothoracic joint.
18 Ιουλ 2024 · What's the main difference between protraction and retraction? Protraction spreads the shoulder blades out from the spine, whereas retraction draws them in toward the spine. Protraction involves the serratus anterior, whereas retraction engages the rhomboids and mid-traps.
Scapular movements include elevation, depression, adduction, and abduction. The scapula also rotates through upward and downward rotation, internal and external rotation, and anterior and posterior tilt. Scapular elevation: 40 degrees. Scapular depression: 10 degrees. Scapular protraction: 20 degrees. Scapular retraction: 15 degrees.
The scapula also has available translatory motions of scapular elevation/depression and protraction/retraction. The linkage of the scapula to the AC and SC joints prevents scapular motions both from occurring in isolation and from occurring as true translatory motions.
14 Σεπ 2024 · Scapula protraction and retraction exercises play a vital role in improving shoulder stability, posture, and upper body strength. The scapula, or shoulder blade, is involved in many upper body movements, and its proper function is essential for pain-free motion and injury prevention.
