Mechanical methods are among the oldest and most important approaches used for induction of labour (4, 5). They are indicated for labour induction in prolonged pregnancies, diabetic and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and premature rupture of membranes.
Shoulder Adductor Muscles? What are the muscles involved in shoulder elevation? The muscles involved in elevating the shoulder girdle (e.g. shrugging your shoulders) are the upper fibers of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and rhomboid minor.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle flexes the neck and helps with movement of the head. Also, the muscle works with the scalene muscles in the neck during forced inspiration while breathing (inhaling), and it raises the sternum, the bone at the front of the rib cage. The muscle originates at the central portion of the collarbone.
