Use of AAROM during this timeframe

- including supine glenohumeral external and internal rotation with a cane as well as supine flextion with the assistance of the uninvoved limb

scapular plane

- shown to have less rotator cuff EMG activity, in terms of percent of maximal voluntary isometric contraction

 

- first 30~60° scapular plane elevation: superior translation

- 30~60° lying supine abduction: inferior translation

 

The salute exercise

- is an effective way to initiate recruitment of the supraspinatus muscle fibers

 

- This exercise can be progressed to "the full can acvivity", which is known th exhibit high supraspinatus muscle activity

AAROM ex

Started CKC exercise

started closed chain stability exercises

* improve neuromuscular control of the shoulder complex

Rhythmic stabilization(supine, quadruped)

* increase muscle activation and improve static stability of the shoulder complex
