Question

your plan of care for a patient with right shoulder pain includes strengthening exercises for infraspinatus and teres minor. which of the following best describes the arthrokinematics of the right glenohumeral joint while performing these exercises?
a) anterior roll, posterior glide
b) posterior roll, superior glide
c) inferior roll, superior glide
d) posterior roll, anterior glide

Explanation:

The infraspinatus and teres minor are posterior - rotator cuff muscles. Strengthening exercises for these muscles typically involve posterior movement of the humerus relative to the glenoid fossa. During such exercises, there is a posterior roll of the humeral head on the glenoid and an anterior glide to prevent impingement and allow full - range motion.

Answer:

d) Posterior roll, anterior glide
