Standing AA Flexion

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.

Client Rationale
This exercise is to help you get your shoulder range of motion back without using the muscles that are painful, healing, or both.



Instructions

• Grasp hands together
• Keep elbow straight.
• Slowly lift both arms up letting your unaffected arm lift your affected arm.
• Do not lift your affected arm up on its own.
