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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
The slides that showed where each muscle originates and inserts from was helpful for me to figure out which way the muscle pulls on the shoulder girdle.
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.
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!
This was super helpful overview on the shoulder girdle muscles. I really likes the images you provided and will definitely be using them to help me study
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
I was unaware that joint shoulder movement is not the same as shoulder girdle movement. This lecture was very helpful with in-depth details about the difference in these movements.
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.
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!
i liked learning about the fibers and how they work to move the serratus anterior muscle upward its very interesting to see the whole body work together
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.
It's interesting to learn about this region of the body with much more depth. I learned about muscles in anatomy, but I always wanted to know more, so these videos are really helping with that!
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.
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
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.
I liked the explanation of how the muscles each affect the scapula. Drawing the lines parallel to the fibers of the muscle is very helpful for me. So interesting how many times I corrected my posture during this video.
This video was a great refresher on shoulder girdle anatomy. By knowing all of these muscles, I can better conceptualize the shoulder girdle and its actions.
Learning about the scapula and the muscles and how it affects posture is really interesting and makes me a lot more aware of my own posture and how to improve it!
I definitely learned more information about the muscle actions in the shoulders by watching vour video. Your tip on how to remember the action of the levator scapulae by thinking of it as an elevator and how it elevates the shoulders was very helpful!
Learning about the muscles and their actions is very helpful especially in helping in learning to prevent injuries learning about their proper actions.
I learned about how the shoulder moved I knew a got bit of this before from previous classes but this was a way more in depth explanation on how muscles work together to move the shoulder.
Muscles were always my favorite topic in class, I am enjoying going deeper into the muscles in the body. We never talked about levator scapulae before, exciting learning about more muscles!
I enjoyed learning about the different scapular muscles and using correct posture. I think in the moment we all tried to correct our posture as soon as you began to speak about it.
After this video I feel that I got a better understanding of the muscles that make up the shoulder movements and posture and what their functions are. I really like how you brought it how to work each muscle as that allowed me to make a deeper connection.
I appreciated the inclusion of possible workouts to strengthen the 5 primary muscles. For example strengthening your serratus anterior by performing proper pushups into full protraction and strengthening the pec minor by doing parallel bar dips!
While watching this video, when you mention the scapular muscles, I immediately correct my posture while sitting and did not realize how much my shoulder were hunched over! I do a lot of pilates and we are constantly working to strength our back muscles to reverse our normal posture of sitting at a desk! Very interesting!
This was a very interesting video and I learned so much on how to strengthen certain muscles in the back. Every part described and every picture given was so descriptive!
I really loved the breakdown of this video with the muscles and their actions. It makes it easier to learn when it is organized like this! I also did not know about some of these muscles so I learned those and deeply understood ones I already knew like the pectoralis minor!
Dr. Goodin, Your lectures as I say in each video are always so awesome. It is kinda cool to see you transition from a room to a super cool looking office in the background from your trunk video lectures versus the shoulder girdle. I am assuming this was created during covid! Haha. Thank you for being awesome and yet again making another easily digestible video for your students!
Thanks Dr. Goodin! Knowing the musculature and exactly where they originate and insert helps me to see the muscle contracting in my head as I move. I think this will be helpful as I try and combat the shortening of my protractors and lengthening of my retractors.
It is so interesting to see how precise the angles of each muscle are and how an imbalance can throw it all off, especially at the shoulder girdle. I am definitely sitting with better posture now!
It was cool to hear the gymnastics example with the parallel bar dips and how the pectoralis minor is involved because I used to be a gymnast and have done that exercise many times.
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!
One thing that I learned is the 5 muscles primarily used in shoulder girdle movements, which is the trapezius, rhomboid, levator scapula, serratus anterior and pectoralis minor. I also like how the rotator cuff muscles have an acronym, SITS, which definitely helps me remember which muscles are significant for rotator cuff movement. S: supraspinatus I: infraspinatus T: teres minor S: subscapularis
It is easier for me to absorb information when I can relate it to my own life When you talked about how our society always has their heads forward and our back muscles are weaker, I related to that and now won't forget it.
It was good to hear that these muscles only insert on the scapula and/or clavicle. This helped me relate the muscle to its movement. Likewise, I fixed my posture while watching this video because my retractor muscles are weak from bad posture.
It's very interesting learning how different muscles have upper, lower, or middle fibers and how each category of fibers help with a designated movement. It is more so the parts of the specific muscle performing specific actions rather than the whole muscle doing all those actions.
I didn't know scapula winging can affect the functional movement of the serratus anterior muscle. Thanks for the video, helped clarify portions of the shoulder anatomy!
