Muscles are classified in terms of their function. There are four Fixator Muscles:
functional groups including prime movers, antagonists, synergists Fixator muscles serve as a stabilizer. They allow the prime

prime mover muscle. They also have other roles such as
Prime Mover Muscles: helping to maintain upright posture.
Prime movers, sometimes referred to as agonists, are muscles that
provide the primary and major force during movement. Although Attachment of Muscles:
numerous muscles may be involved during an action, the muscle Every muscle is attached to bone or other connective

muscle’s insertion.
For example, if a person were to lift
a cup, this is flexion and the prime mover Muscle origin refers to a muscle's proximal attachment,

when looking at the biceps brachii, the tendon is
Antagonist Muscles: attached to the coracoid process, and is immobile.
Antagonist muscles oppose or reverse
the movement of the prime mover. Insertion refers to the muscle’s distal attachment and it

relaxed. Antagonist muscles also provide resistance for the prime
mover muscle.
The muscles which operate the jaw, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle joints:
- In the jaw, closure is the work of the masseter and temporalis muscles.
- During flexion of the neck, the sternocleidomastoid is the prime mover, and the trapezius is the prime mover during extension.
- In the shoulder, the deltoid and pectoralis major are responsible for flexion, latissimus dorsi for extension, the deltoid for
abduction, the pectoralis major for adduction, and the serratus anterior for fixation.
- In the elbow, the prime movers include the biceps brachii during flexion and the triceps brachii during extension.
- The prime movers in the wrist include the anterior forearm muscles during flexion and the posterior forearm muscles during
extension.
- In the hip, the gluteus medius and minimus are fixator muscles, the gluteus medius and minimus are the prime movers for
abduction, adductor muscles are responsible for adduction, iliopsoas muscle for flexion and the gluteus maximus is the prime
mover for extension.
- In the knee, the hamstring is the prime mover during flexion and the quadriceps is the prime mover during extension.
- In the ankle, the posterior lower leg muscle is the prime mover for plantar flexion and anterior lower leg muscle is the prime
mover for dorsiflexion.
