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.
Working together the major and minor Rhomboid Muscles retract or pull together the scapula inwards when the Trapezius muscle is contracted. Acting as an antagonist muscle to the Trapezius, both Rhomboids work in unison to provide stabilization to the scapula while other shoulder muscles are active.
