Clinical Kinesiology questions with correct answers

Radial deviation agonist and helping synergist Answer flexor carpi radialis and extensor radialis longus Forced Couple example Answer Muscles that rotate the scapula - serratus anterior & upper/lower trapezius work as a couple to upwardly rotate the shoulder Helping Synergist Answer 2 muscles that work together that are not in the same line of action, that come together to function on the same line of action. Look proximal or distal. open chain Answer distal segment moves, and proximal end is fixed. closed chain Answer proximal segment moves and distal segment is fixed. Fixator Answer It stabilizes the non-moving end of the joint, so that the other end can move. Look proximal or distal. Neutralizer Answer It prevents the PM from going to active insufficiency. It prevents unwanted movement by the PM. PM must cross 2 joints Global Answer stabilizes the stabilizers True Synergist Answer works in the same line of action as agonist and can't complete the movement alone.
