THE SCAPULOTHORACIC MUSCLES – SERRATUS ANTERIOR & TRAPEZIUS
Kinesiologic considerations for targeting activation of scapulothoracic muscles – part 1: serratus anterior – Neumann, Carmargo – 2019
Conclusions
– Reduced strength, control, or activation of the SA has been implicated in pathological conditions involving the shoulder complex.
– These conditions include painful impingement of anatomic tissues, faulty glenohumeral kinematics, and scapular dyskinesis.

Kinesiologic considerations for targeting activation of scapulothoracic muscles – part 2: trapezius
– Paula R. Camargo and Donald A. Neumann – 2019
Procedure
– This review provides the anatomy and kinesiology of the trapezius muscle with the underlying intention of understanding how this muscle contributes to the normal mechanics of the scapula as well as the entire shoulder region.
