Rotator Cuff Strengthening Exercises with the Rotater

or you could just attach the band to any pole... no need to have to hold that orange thing with your other hand........

@meataballa you're right of course...but when a person's muscles begin to tire there is a tendency to compensate. Instead of using correct form and working the muscles of the rotator cuff, you begin to see a "flying elbow" which alters the movement. With the elbow securely fastened in the cradle of the Rotater, the "flying elbow" is eliminated.

Your point is well taken and if a person uses extremely good form, then he / she could attach it to a pole.

Seems like a very effective tool for precise targeting of the required rotations while eliminating patient compensations. I love it!

@EHERRICKDOG Thanks for noticing. The Rotater is extremely effective.

this would be good for very early rehab,, but in a functional sense relying on the tool for stability goes againsts the role of the shoulder muscles
