Shoulder Isometric Exercises | Exercises to Develop and Improve Muscle Performance and Functional Control | 5 Exercises to Improve Shoulder Stability #drnidailahipt #medicalvoltage #therapeuticexercise #shoulderjoint Developing control of the scapula and GH musculature is fundamental to correcting pathomechanics of the shoulder girdle and for improving strength, muscle endurance, power, and performance of functional activities. During observation of scapular alignment and movement, if excessive scapular tilting, winging, or poorly coordinated scapulohumeral rhythm during humeral elevation is identified, it is important to correct these faulty mechanics with properly chosen exercises. Likewise, insufficient stabilization and control of GH rotation and translation during humeral elevation necessitate the selection of exercises that emphasize training the rotator cuff musculature. Multiple-Angle Isometrics: GH Muscles Patient position and procedure: Supine, sitting, or standing. If pain from joint compression occurs, a slight distractive force to the GH joint as resistance is applied may decrease patient discomfort. External and internal rotation. Position the humerus at the patient’s side in slight flexion, slight abduction, or slight scapular plane elevation and the elbow flexed 90°. Apply resistance against the dorsal surface of the forearm to resist external rotation and to the volar surface to resist internal rotation Abduction Maintain the humerus neutral to rotation and resist abduction at 0°, 30°, 45°, and 60°. If there are no contraindications to motion above 90°, preposition the humerus in external rotation before elevating the humerus and resisting above 90° abduction. Extension. Position the humerus at the side or in various positions of flexion and apply resistance against the humerus. Adduction. Position the humerus between 15° and 30° abduction and apply resistance against the humerus.
