shoulder complex for optimum function and performance
Order Description
When training the shoulder complex for optimum function and performance, in addition to the muscles of the rotator cuff, much focus is given to the integrated function
of the scapulothoracic muscles as they play an integral role in dynamic stabilization and neuromuscular control of the shoulder during functional movements.

In light of this, from your experiences, assigned reading, and your interpretation of the best available evidence, please address the following in your response:

Discuss the role of the Serratus Anterior and Lower Trapezius in normal scapulohumeral rhythm
Discuss what you may observe from a movement and postural perspective with an underactive Serratus Anterior and/ or Lower Trapezius
Discuss some common impairments that may be a resultant of an underactive Serratus Anterior and/ or Lower Trapezius
Lastly, discuss exercises you would include for an underactive Serratus Anterior and Lower Trapezius as part of a corrective program to recondition the shoulder
complex
Please be clear, concise and specific with your responses. To be eligible for full-credit, your primary post and replies must be supported with peer-reviewed articles/
evidence beyond the NASM CES textbook. Additional references are available through the Manderino Library. Please review the discussion submission and citation
guidelines and deadlines prior to posting.
