This document provides an overview of the muscles involved in movement at various joints in the body. It lists the muscles responsible for flexing, extending, abducting, adducting, internally and externally rotating movements at the shoulder girdle, shoulder joint, elbow joint, spinal column, pelvic girdle, hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint. For each joint or region, it identifies the primary muscles and some secondary muscles involved in each type of movement.
