For patients rehabbing from shoulder impingement, it is important to focus on the rotator cuff. The rotator cuffs role in this injury is to , depress, and the humeral head 

is the step in manual lymphatic drainage

Which type of exercises immediately precede performance-specific exercises in the rehab progression? 

An AT is using PNF stretching techniques to improve an athlete GH joint motion. The AT positions the athlete in  a supine position with the GH joint in 90* of abduction and the elbow flexed to 90*. The athlete performs a concentric contraction of the internal rotators until the end of the range is reached. The athlete then preforms an isometric contraction of the external rotators. This is followed by a relaxation of the shoulder musculature and then a contraction of the internal rotators concentrically to achieve a stretch. Which of the following PNF stretching techniques is being employed? 

Squinting patella is often associated with: 

is a critical component in all PNF patterns because maximal contraction is impossible without it. 

A swimmer with rounded shoulders cannot get enough lateral rotation and abduction. How might they compensate? What might this lead to? 

For an athlete to safely resume full sports participation and normal preinjury activities in what order should the specific parameters of therapeutic rehab programs be completed? 

What is the role of active assisted exercises in a comprehensive rehab program? 

During your eval before initiating a rehab program for a baseball player’s shoulder, you determine the following when comparing the throwing shoulder with the contralateral side: an IR deficit, a greater amount of ER, and a similar total arc of motion. What anatomic factor is most likely limiting the IR motion of this athletes throwing side shoulder?
