Question

Select all that apply Identify the true statements about the infraspinatus muscle. (More than one option may be correct.) This muscle and teres minor are called upon eccentrically to slow down the arm from high-velocity internal rotation activities. It is the most powerful of the external rotators. This muscle works independently of the teres minor muscle and is most effective when rhomboid muscles flex the scapula. It is the least likely to be injured among the rotator cuff muscles.
