ABDUCTED SHOULDER INTERNAL ROTATION

This is a shoulder internal rotation strengthening exercise. Anchor a band behind you at roughly ear height. Keep the elbow flexed to 90 degrees and abducted to shoulder height. Grip onto the free end of the band and hold it so that your fist is directly above your elbow. Take a step forwards to add tension to the band. Rotate downwards until your forearm is parallel with the floor. Repeat as required.

Muscles Involved:

  • Rotator Cuff

    • Subscapularis

  • Latissimus Dorsi

  • Anterior Deltoid

  • Pectoralis Major

  • Teres Major

Related Conditions:

  • Rotator Cuff Tear / Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

  • Dynamic Shoulder Instability

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • Glenohumeral Joint Labral Tear

  • Shoulder Dislocation / Shoulder Subluxation
