Answer 1

Dear Student,

Basically there are five important muscles helping in the Shoulder girdle movements.

They are Trapezius, Rhomboid, Levator scapulae, Pectoralis minor, serratus anterior

Coming to the upward rotation of scapula, the scapula Moves upward and laterally.

The starting posture for this movement is to keep the elbows to the wall and move them upwards when the scapula the making an upward movement. The time spent should be around 3-5 seconds for upward and downward movement respectively. This kind of exercise is also performed in gym and sports by using accessories like dumbbells, etc

The plane of motion in this is primarily scapular plane

Primary muscles involved are Serratus Anterior

and Trapezius.

In this picture given below, I have depicted the original position and the range of movement

Hope you are clear
