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.
Muscles that act on the shoulder can be classified as extrinsic, intrinsic, pectoral or of the upper arm. Upper arm muscles will be discussed in a later section as although they attach to the shoulder they promote movement of the forearm.
