Lateral rectus muscles2
  • Medial and lateral rectus muscles have only horizontal actions. (medscape.com)
  • These patients appear to have overacting inferior oblique muscles, but the deviation is thought to be due to anomalous innervation of the lateral rectus muscles in upgaze. (aao.org)

Underaction2
Spine7

  • The reduction in spine forces is postulated to have resulted from the increased oblique muscles' share in the production of back extensor moment. (cdc.gov)
  • Since these muscles have longer moment arms, they generated lesser spine force to counteract the external moment. (cdc.gov)
Inferior rectus4
  • This is because as the eye is abducted (looks laterally), the contribution made by superior oblique to depression of the eye decreases, as the inferior rectus muscle causes this movement more directly and powerfully. (en-academic.com)
  • Hence, when inferior rectus contracts so we look down, superior oblique also contracts to prevent extorsion of the eye, and when superior rectus contracts so we look up, inferior oblique contracts to prevent intorsion, thus the undesired rotatory actions of the inferior and superior recti about the long axis of the eye are cancelled out.

  • The "dorsi" in latissimus dorsi tells you that the muscle is dorsal. (infoplease.com)
Abduction3
  • The main muscle for abduction is the lateral rectus, so although superior oblique contributes to a downwards and lateral eye movement, testing this motion would not be specific enough as inferior and lateral recti muscles would also be tested. (en-academic.com)
  • The tertiary abduction effect of the superior oblique muscle is believed to produce the A-pattern. (medscape.com)
