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.
There are four muscle groups in the shoulder: 1  The rotator cuff muscles are the subscapularis, the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus, and the teres minor. 2  The biceps tendon complex also helps keep the humeral head in the glenoid and helps raise the arm. 3  The scapulothoracic muscles attach the scapula to the thorax.
