Question
Your client has difficulty reaching behind the back to get something out of his/her back pocket. This motion is humeral adduction. Which group of muscles could restrict the scapular movement that enables adduction? (Think of muscles that do the opposite scapular action. If these muscles are restricted, they limit the scapular action necessary for humeral adduction.)
