What functions does scapular patterns influence? And What are the two diagnoal
patterns seen in scapular patterns?
Influence function of c‐spine, t‐
spine, and BUE (bilateral upper extremity)
2 Diagonals:
Anterior elevation - Posterior
depression
Posterior elevation - Anterior
depression
In reference to a clock where would you find R scapula movements of
AE, PD, PE, and AD
AE: 1 o'clock
PD: 7 o'clock
PE: 11 o'clock
AD: 5 o'clock
How do you set the scapula for anterior elevation/posterior depression ?
If scapular deviation is noted, elevate the shoulder
complex
Use lateral border of hand to downwardly rotate and
retract the scapula back into neutral
How do you st the scapula for posterior elevation - anterior depression?
If scapular deviation is noted, move shoulder into
posterior elevated position using lateral border of your
hand
Compress and upwardly rotate the scapula to allow
superior angle to move toward the spinous process of
cervical vertebrae.
What are the principle muscles involved in Scapular AE and what functional
activities does it assist with?
Principle muscles involved:
Levator scapulae
Rhomboids
Serratus anterior
Functional Activities:
Reaching up in front of the
body
Rolling forward
Gait related: terminal stance
on the ipsilateral side and
swing phase on the
contralateral sidePN
, What are the principle muscles involved in Scapular PD (D1 Extension) and what
functional activities does it assist with?
Principle muscles involved:
Latissimus dorsi
Rhomboids
Serratus anterior (lower)
Functional Activities:
Putting seatbelt back
Trunk extension
Rolling backward
Using crutches while walking
Pushing up with a straight trunk
What are the principle muscles involved in Scapular PE (D2 flexion) and what
functional activities does it assist with?
Principle muscles involved:
Trapezius
Levator Scapulae
Functional Activities:
making a Y as in YMCA
Moving backward
Reaching out before
throwing
Donning a shirt
What are the principle muscles involved in Scapular AD and what functional
activities does it assist with?
Principle muscles involved:
Rhomboids
SerratusAnterior
Pectoralis Minor
Pectoralis Major
Functional Activities:
seat belt
Rolling forward
Reaching forward
Throwing a ball in sporting activities
Reaching down (i.e. don/doff shoes and
socks)
What functions do pelvic patterns influence and what are the two diagonal
patterns?
Influence function of spine and
BLE
2 Diagonals:
Anterior elevation - Posterior
