Which of the following scapular motions are axial?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axial movements involve a rotation along the longitudinal axis of a bone, while other movements involve translations or movements in other planes. Upward rotation and downward rotation of the scapula involve rotation along the longitudinal axis of the scapula, while protraction, retraction, elevation, depression, abduction, and adduction do not involve axial rotation. Therefore, B is the only choice that includes axial motions.
