The functions of a fixator muscle is the stabalizing of the orgin of the prime mover so that the prime mover can act more efficiently. Fixators steady the proximal end of a limb while movements occurs at the distal end.
EX: The scapula is a freely movable bone that serves as the orgin for several muscles that move the arm. When the arm contracts the scapula must be held steady.
