Internal Rotation/Extension AAROM

Professional Rationale
Active Assisted ROM for an acutely painful shoulder, most often due to surgery, post traumatic dislocation, or conservative management of a massive rotator cuff tear.

• Place your hand on top of the object.
• Create a stretch in your shoulder by bending at the knees.
• Bear weight through your legs.
• Do not bear weight through your shoulder.
