Shoulder Abduction
Supraspinatus, Impingement syndrome, Rotator cuff tear, Tendonitis
The supraspinatus muscle assists int ABDuction, especially in the first ~15* and is an important muscle in the force couple at the glenohumeral joint. Isometric ABDuction at the wall is an effective place to start when rehabilitating shoulder impingement or rotator cuff tendonitis.
Shoulder External Rotation
Infraspinatus, Impingement syndrome, Rotator cuff tear, Tendonitis
The infraspinatus muscle externally rotates the upper arm bone (the humerus). It is one of the rotator cuff muscles and assists in pulling the humeral head down to maintain subachromial space. This is a crucial force couple with the deltoid when reaching overhead.
Shoulder Internal Rotation
Subscapularis, Impingement syndrome, Rotator cuff tear, Tendonitis
When performing resisted internal rotation at the shoulder, we are targeting the tendon and muscle of the subscapularis muscle of the rotator cuff.
Shoulder Education
Education, Impingeme syndrome, Rotator cuff tendinitis, Rotator cuff tear, Labrum (or Torn labrum)
