Introduction
• Appendicular Musculature
• Appendicular muscles are responsible for:
• Stabilizing the pectoral and pelvic girdles
• Moving the upper and lower limbs
• Absorbing shocks and jolts as you walk, run, or jump
• Aiding in strengthening the joint area

Introduction
• Two Major Groups of Appendicular Muscles
• The muscles of the pectoral girdle and upper limbs
• The muscles of the pelvic girdle and lower limbs

Factors Affecting Appendicular Muscle
Function
• Action Lines of the Muscle
• Flexion and extension at the shoulder joint
• Adduction and abduction at the shoulder joint
• Medial and lateral rotation at the shoulder joint
• Action lines at the hip joint
• Spurt and Shunt Muscles

Action Lines at the Hip Joint
The hip joint, like the shoulder joint, is a multiaxial synovial joint that permits flexion/extension,
adduction/abduction, and medial/lateral rotation. Determining the action of a muscle on the hip
is identical to the process utilized for the shoulder, in that the action of a muscle on the hip is
determined by the structure of the joint and the location of the insertion of the muscle on the
femur (not shown) relative to the permitted axes of motion at the joint.

Spurt and Shunt Muscles
Determining the location of the insertion of a muscle
relative to the axis of the joint will provide additional
details about the functions of the muscle at that joint.
The primary action of a muscle whose insertion is
close to the joint will be the production of movement
at that joint. Such a muscle is termed a spurt
muscle, and spurt muscles are prime movers.
However, a muscle whose insertion is considerably
farther from the joint will generally help to stabilize
that joint in addition to producing motion at that
joint. This type of muscle, a synergist, is termed
a shunt muscle.

those action lines cross the shoulder joint enables
one to determine the actions of these muscles on
