Serratus Anterior EXPLAINED | Origin, Insertion, .... & Important Functions

The video tutorial covers the anatomy, function, and pathophysiology of the serratus anterior muscle. It explains the muscle's origin, insertion, and actions, such as scapular protraction and upward rotation. The tutorial also discusses the blood supply and innervation by the long thoracic nerve. It highlights the causes and effects of scapular winging, including nerve palsy and muscle weakness. Finally, it outlines treatment approaches, including strengthening exercises and neurodynamic gliding.
