has similar action as agonist muscle; assists agonist in execution of movement, or when agonist acts over 2 joints, synergist stabilizes one of those joints as agonist acts across other joint
|
|
Fixator Muscle
|
stabilizes (fixes) more proximal body region (particularly the area of origin for the agonist muscle) as agonist produces movement at a distal joint
