Ans.
A
Explanation:
Medial rotation of scapula.
- Abduction of the ann involves rotation of the scapula as well as movement at the shoulder joint.
- For every 3° abduction, a 2 ° abduction occurs in the shoulder joint & 1 ° abduction occurs by rotation of the scapula
- Also know: Abduction is initiated by the supraspinatus but the deltoid muscle is the main abductor.
