Question 4 • Sports Medicine 1b

Taylor is having an issue with the coracoid process. How is this MOST likely to affect movement?

Answer
A
Taylor cannot walk a short distance.
B
Taylor cannot bend at the waist.
C
Taylor cannot throw a softball.
D
Taylor cannot kick a soccer ball.

Explanation

The coracoid process is a projection of the shoulder blade where muscles that help move the arm attach, including the coracobrachialis and short head of the biceps. Problems there are most likely to interfere with shoulder and arm movements used to throw a softball. Walking, bending at the waist, and kicking primarily rely on the legs or trunk, so they are less directly affected.
