The correct answer is  Medial rotation of scapula. Abduction of the ann involves rotation of the scapula as well as movement at the shoulder joint. For every 3deg abduction, a 2 deg abduction occurs in the shoulder joint & 1 deg abduction occurs by rotation of the scapula Also know: Abduction is initiated by the supraspinatus but the deltoid muscle is the main abductor.
