The Latissimus Dorsi Muscle

A neuromuscular efficient core is required for the latissimus dorsi to provide the necessary forces to carry out some function at the glenohumeral joint. • Neuromuscular inefficiency sets up the foundation for repetitive stress and associated “frozen shoulder”-type symptoms. The latissimus dorsi decelerates lateral rotation, flexion, and abduction of the humerus in the glenohumeral joint. • When the insertion of the latissimus dorsi is flexed, the muscle plays a role in tilting the pelvis in an anterolateral direction. • A bilateral contraction leads to hyperextension of the lower back, with accompanying anterior tilting of the pelvis. • A muscle this size, covering so much of the posterolateral ribcage, will also have an influence on diaphragmatic function. • Any movement of the humerus will have an effect that extends into the thoracolumbar fascia and further down the kinetic chain. • The latissimus dorsi generates pain in the mid-thoracic area, including the posterolateral abdominal region. • Pain of an aching nature is often reported in the inferior angle of the scapula and the posterior shoulder. • Referred pain travels down the medial aspect of the humerus into the forearm, hand, and fingers. • For more information about NAT online courses, please visit https://nielasher.com/collections/nat...
