Mary has just finished pitching a fast-pitch softball game. What joint is most likely to be sore, and why?
What will be an ideal response?
Pitching a softball repeatedly requires the shoulder's ball-and-socket joint to sustain a great deal of circumductive forces. The shoulder is most likely to be sore as a result of these repeated forced circumductions and the friction and tension associated with them.
