For effective shoulder function, each of the following is necessary except:
A)Appropriate movement and stability of the scapula.
B)Greater mobility in the external rotators than the internal rotators.
C)A balance in strength of the external and internal rotators.
D)Thoracic extension and axial extension of the cervical spine.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Greater mobility in the external rotators than the internal rotators is not necessary for effective shoulder function. In fact, having balanced mobility and strength between the internal and external rotators is important for proper shoulder stability and function. However, appropriate movement and stability of the scapula, a balance in strength of internal and external rotators, and thoracic and cervical spine extension are all necessary for effective shoulder function.
