Deltoid

Three-headed scapulohumeral muscle of the shoulder girdle, the most important lateral abductor and frontal abductor of the arm. It consists of

  1. pars clavicularis: attaches to the lateral third of the clavicle and also causes anteversion. Depending on the height of the arm (below 60°), it contributes to its adduction. It can also support the endorotation of the arm.
  2. pars acromialis: attaches to the acromion and supports the pars clavicularis during anteversion as well as the pars spinalis during retroversion
  3. pars spinalis: attaches to the spina scapulae and causes retroversion in addition to lateral adduction (together with the pars acromialis). From 60° it also contributes to adduction. It can also support exorotation

The deltoid pushes the head of the humerus into the acetabulum and thus provides muscular support for the joint
Origin:

  1. Pars clavicularis: Clavicle
  2. Pars acromialis: acromion of the shoulder blade
  3. Pars spinalis: shoulder blade(spina scapulae)

Attachment: deltoid tuberosity of the humerus
Antagonists:
Movement: Fixation of the humeral head; abduction by pars acromialis between 10° (depending on the literature: 15°) and 60° (before this the supraspinatus must lift, after this active insufficiency), from 60° lateral abduction pars clavicularis and pars spinalis continue to abduct up to approx. 90°, from which angle the scapula must rotateoutwards for further lateral abduction; pars spinalis: retroversion and exorotation, below 60° it supports lateral adduction . Pars clavicularis: endorotation below 60°, it supports lateral adduction.
Strengthening postures (): Strengthening must also be differentiated according to proportion:

  1. pars clavicularis: upface dog, headstand, three-point headstand, dog elbow stand, elbow stand, right-angled elbow stand, handstanddips, downface dog: Dips, dog head down: Transition to pole and back, dog head down: Transition to dog elbow stand and back
  2. pars acromialis: 2nd warrior pose, ardha vasisthasana and vasisthasana, when the supporting arm is pressed bent away from the feet.
  3. pars spinalis: jathara parivartanasana, upface dog: with feet upside down

Stretching postures (): With the deltoid, as with the trapezius, a distinction must be made between the different parts:

  1. pars clavicularis: namaste: on the back, gomukhasana, purvottanasana, setu bandha sarvangasana, sarvangasana, uttanasana: arms behind the body, prasarita padottanasana: arms behind the back, maricyasana 1, maricyasana 3
  2. pars acromialis: The pars acromialis is usually relatively mobile because the arm, which often hangs down, maintains mobility. At best, stretching is possible in lateral adduction of the arm in front of or behind the body without significant frontal abduction, e.g. in gomukhasana
  3. pars spinalis: as the pars spinalis retroverts and abductslaterally, a moderate frontal abduction without wide lateral abduction as in garudasana is required for stretching
