Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Upper back postural correction exercises and scapular stabilization exercises are readily prescribed for the management of secondary shoulder impingement.

Reason (R) : Glenohumeral instability can also lead to the development of impingement syndrome at shoulder.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

This question was previously asked in
CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

Evaluating Assertion (A): Upper Back Posture and Scapular Exercises

Assertion (A) states that upper back postural correction exercises and scapular stabilization exercises are commonly prescribed for managing secondary shoulder impingement. This is correct. Poor posture (like rounded shoulders) and inadequate control of the shoulder blade (scapula) can alter the mechanics of the shoulder joint, leading to pinching of soft tissues in the subacromial space, a condition known as secondary impingement. Therefore, exercises targeting posture and scapular stability are fundamental in treatment.

Evaluating Reason (R): Glenohumeral Instability and Impingement

Reason (R) suggests that glenohumeral instability can contribute to the development of impingement syndrome in the shoulder. This statement is also correct. Instability means the main shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is abnormally mobile. This excessive movement can cause the humeral head to shift abnormally during arm motion, leading to irritation and impingement of the surrounding structures.

Assessing the Explanation Link

While both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are factually correct statements regarding shoulder impingement, Reason (R) does not serve as the direct explanation for Assertion (A).

  • Assertion (A) focuses on exercises for *secondary impingement* related to *posture and scapular control*.
  • Reason (R) describes *glenohumeral instability* as a potential *cause* of impingement.

Glenohumeral instability is a distinct condition that can cause impingement, often requiring specific management focused on joint stability. The exercises mentioned in (A) address issues of alignment and muscle control, which are different primary targets than the joint stability addressed by treating instability (R). Therefore, (R) explains a cause of impingement but not specifically why exercises for posture and scapular stabilization are prescribed for secondary impingement.

Conclusion on Statements

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct statements. However, Reason (R) does not correctly explain Assertion (A) because they address different aspects and causes of shoulder impingement.
