Best Practice Case Studies-Shoulder

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dexter Vu, a physical therapist, demonstrates exercises for the rotator cuff, including the side-lying external rotation and the prone external rotation, T, and Y exercises. These can be progressively intensified using manual resistance and light dumbbells. Vu also discusses upper extremity sport testing, including the inverted row test, where patients perform maximum rows in 15-second intervals, and the seated shot put test, which measures the distance a patient can propel a medicine ball while seated. Both tests assess strength and control, and their results are used to evaluate progress and readiness for sports activities.
