Jane feels compelled to do a few jumping jacks. Which movement is taking place as her hands come together above her head?
-
Lateral Flexion
-
Internal Rotation
-
Abduction
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
As Jane's hands come together above her head while doing jumping jacks, the movement taking place is abduction. Abduction refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body or the central axis of a limb. In this case, Jane's arms are moving away from the midline of her body as she raises them above her head during the jumping jack exercise.
