Solution

The Supraspinatus muscle does not work in synergy with the others when adducting the shoulder joint from when the arm is horizontal to the ground to the anatomical position.

Here's why:

  1. The Teres Major, Latissimus Dorsi, and Pectoralis Major are all major adductors of the shoulder. They work together to pull the arm towards the body.

  2. The Posterior Deltoid also assists in adduction, especially when the arm is extended or abducted.

  3. The Supraspinatus, however, is part of the rotator cuff group of muscles and its primary function is to assist in abduction (lifting the arm away from the body), not adduction. Therefore, it does not work in synergy with the other muscles listed when adducting the shoulder joint.
