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 trapezius, along with the rhomboideus major and minor, and levator scapulae, work together to elevate the shoulder. Scapula adduction, or the act of moving your arm and shoulder backwards, involves the trapezius and the rhomboids. The trapezius also acts in head/neck extension, or the act of tilting your head back.
