Back in Brooklyn

Denver was energetically exhausting. The conference had so many great PT ideas flying around, so many 'celebrities of PT' that sleep becomes secondary. So all that energy I gained is slightly counteracted by the sleep debt I have to my body. But well worth it... See you in valley forge, PA...

Anatomy review:

Teres mInoR
-O: superior lateral border of scapula
-Ins.: inf. Facet of greater tubercle
-Inn.: Axillary n., C5-6 (5 is primary)
-Action: ER

Teres Major
-Origin: inferior angle of scapula
-Insertion: medial lip of interteburcular groove
-Innervation: lower subscapular n., C 6-7 primary and C8
-Action: IR, Sh. Add.

I list minor before Major b.c minor is superior to Major in the body... Not that it is better than, simply that it lies closer to the head... Also I generally try to capitalize Major and keep minor lower cased to help distinguish TM from Tm when abbreviating in my notes... Lastly and most importantly mInoR does External Rotation-ER despite having an I and R in it, so the opposite letters help me remember... With a lot of things in the body one needs some silly mnemonics to help remember...

Next time I will respond to Nate's comment and list the funnest named muscles...
