Dr. Sood,
As for regaining normal ROM for shoulder dysfunction,
I rarely find extension limited, and if it is would be
the first to act upon as it is easiest to regain. At
the same time though I would work on flexion. Reason
being it seems to be the most functional.
I usually send pts. home with flexion exercise, but
when seeing them check and mobilise other ROM
directions. As some respond better than others to
mobilisations and PROM. If there is any other movt.
that responds favourable to treatment, I will once
again get them working on that movt. as well.
My last movt. is usually Hand Behind Back.
HOpe it helps.
