Anatomy & Physiology of Scapular Protraction (Abduction) & Retraction (Adduction)
In this video, we discuss two movements of the scapula that correspond with shoulder flexion and extension: protraction and retraction, respectively. We will see the muscles of these movements, their origins, insertions, and actions.
