Non-axial. The only axis like movement the scapula has, is upper and lower rotation. Protraction (abduction) and Retraction (adduction) are translation motions.

What does protraction mean in anatomy terms?
Scapular protraction is moving the scapula (shoulder blade) forward. The opposite is scapular retraction. To "feel" the definition, first try retraction -- pull your shoulders back to squeeze your shoulder blades together as if you're trying to hold a pencil between them. Now do the opposite -- that opposite movement is scapular protraction.

In which plane does hip flexion occur?
Frontal Plane about the anterioposterior axis
In which plane does pronation and supination of the forearm occur?
In which plane does pronation and supination of the forearm occur?
Movements in the transverse plane occur around which axis?
Flexion, Extension and Hyperextension of the Joints
What are the names of the movements involved with scapula?
protraction, retraction
What's the difference between protraction and retraction?
Protraction of the mandible (jaw bone) is making an under-bite. (protrusion of mandible) Retraction of mandible would be creating an over-bite.

Is rounded shoulders called scapula retraction?
No, when the scapula is retracted it is pinched backwards with both scapula coming closer to the spine. Scapula protraction is when the shoulders are rounded forward by the pectoralis major and or pectoralis minor. The middle section of the trapezius and the rhomboids are responsible for scapula retraction.
What axis of motion is the push-up done in?
a push up (shoulder horizontal abduction/adduction, elbow flexion/extension, and scapular retraction/protraction) is done around a vertical axes, in the transverse plane, while lying pronated. The axes of motion change relative to the body so a vertical axes will not always be perpendicular to the ground but more importantly traverse through the body from head to toe regardless of the body's relative position to earth.
Y axis and x axis plane?
x axis is on horizontal plane and y axis is on vertical plane.
What type of actions use skeletal?
There are many: extension, flexion, supination, pronation, abduction, adduction, lateral rotation, medial rotation, circumduction, elevation, depression, protraction, retraction, inversion, eversion, and opposition.
Does the complex plane have a horizontal axis called the real axis?
Yes, in a complex plane, the horizontal axis is the real axis, and the vertical axis is the imaginary axis.
The vertical axis is called the x-axis and the horizontal axis is called the y-axis what entire plane containing these is called the xy-plane?
legends a plane would be called the xy-plane if it had the x and y points on it Y axis
Which plane is Perpendicular to the longitudinal axis?
The transverse plane is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
What are the horizontal axis on a Cartesian plane known as?
The Cartesian plane has only 1 horizontal axis and it is known as the x-axis.
