Appendix 2. Exercise program for both groups, weeks 3 to 6
1. 0° external shoulder rotation |
|
|
|
Start |
End |
· Attach an elastic band at hip level · Trunk straight, bend the elbow at 90°. Contract the abdominals. Add a towel between the arm and the trunk · Open the hand outward, make sure the elbow stays closed to the body. Keep the elbow at 90°. |

2. 45° external shoulder rotation |
|
|
|
Start |
End |
· Attach a resistive band at hip level · Raise the arm about 45° from the floor, with the 90° elbow parallel to the floor. Contract the abdominals. Tuck your chin. · Pull the resistive band. |
|
|
3. 90° external shoulder rotation |
|
|
|
Start |
End |
· Attach a resistive band at eye level. · Lift the arm at the shoulder with the 90° elbow parallel to the floor. Contract the abdominals, tuck in the chin. · Pull the resistive band. |
Internal shoulder rotation |
4. 0° isometric internal shoulder rotation |
|
|
|
|
|
· Attach a resistive band (already slightly stretched). · Straight trunk, contract the abdominals, bend the elbow 90° and closed to the body. · Keep that position.
|
5. 45° internal shoulder rotation |
|
|
|
Start |
End |
· Attach a resistive band. Turn back to the point of attachment. · Lift the arm 45° with the elbow at 90°. Contract the abdominals, tuck in the chin. · Pull the resistive band to bring the hand forward keeping the elbow 90°. |
