how does the PT perform shoulder elevation (flexion/abduction) w/ manual shoulder UR?
Begin with pt's shoulder below 30 degrees of elevation. With one hand on the body of the scapula, press the scapula into the thorax to correct winging and/or upward tilt. The anterior hand is over the coracoid process, clavicle, and acromion process and is pushing posteriorly
As the pt begins to elevate the shoulder, the scapula MUST upwardly rotate. The PT uses manual pressure to maintain correct scapular position (minimizing winging/upward tilt) while also assisting the scapula with upward rotation.
