	Physiological Mapping of Bowing: Six Case Studies
		An examination of mv/sec muscle expenditures reveals a considerable decrease of 35% in posterior deltoid, and increases in trapezius (+33%), bicep (+5%), and forearm flexor (+18%), and slight decrease of 1% in composite muscle expenditure from pretest to posttest.
		A considerable decrease in composite muscle expenditure (-23%) from pretest to posttest is evident.
		A 16% decrease in composite muscle expenditure is evident from pretest to posttest.

	Deltoid muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the human shoulder.
		From this extensive origin the fibers converge toward their insertion, the middle passing vertically, the anterior obliquely backward and lateralward, the posterior obliquely forward and lateralward; they unite in a thick tendon, which is inserted into the V-shaped deltoid tubercle on the middle of the lateral aspect of the shaft of the humerus.
		The middle fibres of the muscle arise in a bipenniform manner (like a bird's feather) from the sides of the tendinous intersections, generally four in number, which are attached above to the acromion and pass downward parallel to one another in the substance of the muscle.

	Deltoid muscles (cat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This article refers to the anatomy of the deltoid muscles in the cat.
		It is the muscle on the anterior surface of the shoulder and anterior to the pectoantebrachialis.
		The clavotrapezius and the clavodeltoid (clavobrachialis) are sometimes considered by anatomists as consisting one muscle, which is the cephalobranchial (literally, head to arm).

	Neck muscles
		The deltoid muscle moves the humerus bone and is used to raise the arm outward from the side.
		The muscles run upward and come together in the middle of their course (both pieces of the muscle lie side by side), but do not actually touch and are inserted in the front of the hyoid bone.
		The rectus capitis muscles are small triangular muscles that extend from the cervical vertebrae and insert in the occipital bone at the base of the skull.

	Back muscles
		The external oblique is a large, thin sheet of overlapping muscle that runs along the side of the torso and partly on the front from the lower ribs to the rectus, the pubis bone, and the iliac crest of the hip.
		The serratus posterior superior is a thin, flat, quadrilateral muscle that extends from the neck to the third, fourth, and fifth ribs.
		This muscle is used to turn and tilt the head, raise and twist the arms, and to shrug or steady the shoulders.

		The deltoid muscle forms the prominence of the shoulder, and its convex outline is due to the presence of the head of the humerus deep within it.

		The anterior deltoid arises from the lateral third of the clavicle and inserts into the deltoid tubercle of the humerus.
		The posterior deltoid arises from the lateral aspect of the spine of the scapula and inserts into the deltoid tubercle of the humerus.
		To fully develop the entire deltoid muscle with emphasis on the lateral head, the barbell or dumbbell shoulder press with the elbows out to the side is excellent for those with optimal shoulder range of motion.

	Overview
		Good shoulder function was not obtained unless the biceps and deltoid muscles began to contract by 3 months and had normal strength by 5 months.
		Improvement of muscle strength as assessed by neurologic examination is the most sensitive test of which infants will recover without surgical intervention.
		Even in children who have made a good spontaneous recovery, the weak deltoid muscle and consequent limitation in raising and rotating the shoulder are common persistent disabilities.

		Deltoid fibrosis is a muscle disorder marked by intramuscular fibrous bands within the substance of the deltoid muscle.
		Deltoid fibrosis has been associated with fibrous contractures of the gluteal and quadriceps muscles and is likely a similar process.
		Therefore, deltoid contracture in the young patient should be treated surgically when the patient is at an age that allows spontaneous correction of the bony deformity with growth.

		When the veteran was examined by the VA in May 1952, it was noted that in the bulging portion of the right deltoid muscle there were four scars, either from shrapnel or from their removal (or attempted removal).
		Moderately severe disability of the muscles involves a through-and-though or deep penetrating wound by high velocity missile of small size or a large missile of low velocity, with debridement or with prolonged infection or with sloughing of soft parts, intermuscular cicatrization.

		It is a triangular muscle that originates from the lateral one third of the clavicle, the acromian and the scapular spine and converges into the deltoid tuberosity near middle of the humerus.
		This muscle has a large mass, is well developed in young children and adults and is relatively free from major nerves and vessels.
		For VL needles of 16 mm, 22 mm or 25 mm, for deltoid 16 to 32 mm and for VG 25 to 38 mm length are used.

		It is called the pectoralis major muscle because "pectaralis" means "chest bone." which is where the muscle is attached, and "major" means "the larger." Therefore, pectoralis major means the larger muscle of the chest.
		The sternocleidomastoid muscle is found on the front side of the neck.
		It is called the sternocleidomastoid because the muscle is attached to three bones: the sternum (sterno), the clavicle (cleido), and the mastoid process of the skull (mastoid).

		Since many programs emphasize more of the anterior and lateral deltoids, sticking in traps with the deltoids acts like more exercises to work the posterior deltoid so that it too is given a good workout, which is true for my program.
		The deltoids respond very well to volumizing movements - especially when you squeeze out rep after rep, causing more blood to be transported to the muscle, which conclusively kick starts the growth process in the muscle.
		The deltoids are a relatively small muscle group; therefore, they don't require as much time between sets as a larger muscle group such as the legs.
