What moves the scapula forward and rotates scapula upward?
Question:
What moves the scapula forward and rotates scapula upward?
Scapula Movements
The scapula or shoulder blade is capable of several different movements due to the arrangement of muscles and their various origins and insertions. The scapula can be protracted (moved forward) and retracted (moved backward). It can rotate both upward and downward, as well as elevated and depressed (lowered).
