Question

Drawing the shoulders forward and rounding the chest is an example of which joint movement?

a) protraction
b) abduction
c) supination
d) retraction

Answer 1

d) protraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Protraction is the movement of the human joint or part of the body in a forward direction. Scapula protraction occurs when the shoulder is pushed forward causing it to move anteriorly. Retraction is the opposite of protraction which is the movement of the human joint or part of the body in a backward direction.

Abduction is the movement of the limb away from the body spine such as the raising of the arm.
