Final answer:

For a client with shoulder impingement, shoulder rolls, arm circles, and push-ups are Pilates exercises that involve shoulder motion and may be contraindicated. Leg lifts do not involve direct shoulder joint movement and therefore are not generally contraindicated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question concerns Pilates exercises and their suitability for a client with shoulder impingement. The exercises in question that involve shoulder motion and may not be suitable for someone with shoulder impingement are shoulder rolls, arm circles, and push-ups. These exercises involve movements that can exacerbate the condition by compressing structures within the shoulder joint, potentially leading to increased irritation or injury. Leg lifts, on the other hand, are generally not contraindicated for clients with shoulder impingement as they do not involve direct movement of the shoulder joint.

In response to the included reference question, the movement of a body region in a circular movement at a condyloid joint is referred to as circular motion. Neither answer a. rotation nor answer b. elevation appropriately describes this type of movement. Rotation refers to the spinning around of a body part in its axis, while elevation refers to lifting or moving something to a higher position.
