Abstract

The function of the pecteralis major, serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi muscles were tested electromyographically during driving in a simulator. The pectoralis major muscle seems to stabilize the shoulder during car driving, the clavicular portion being more active than the sternocostal. The serratus anterior muscle works in contralateral rotation of the steering wheel. The latissimus dorsi muscle is active only to a small extent and when activity occurs it is usually in ipsilateral rotation of the steering wheel.
