90 Degrees External Rotation

Shoulder
Written By David Song

90 DEGREES EXTERNAL ROTATION

This is a shoulder strengthening exercise that targets the external rotators in an concentric contraction. Anchor a band in front of you at roughly head height. Keep the elbow abducted to shoulder height start with your forearm parallel with the floor. Grip onto the free end of the band and take a step backwards to add tension to the band. Pull the band by externally rotating the shoulder until it is perpendicular to the floor (90 degrees external rotation). Slowly return to starting position to complete a repetition.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rotator Cuff

    • Teres Minor

    • Infraspinatus

Related Conditions:

  • Rotator Cuff Tear / Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

  • Dynamic Shoulder Instability

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Glenohumeral Joint Labral Tear

  • Shoulder Dislocation / Shoulder Subluxation
