•After splint is taken off,
begin PROM/AROM as tolerated to
all shoulder and upper extremity muscles
paying close attention to shoulder abductors,
flexors, and external rotators. Can begin
scar massage or silicone gels at this time.
•All ROM should be done
cleanly attempting to discourage
any compensatory patterns
•All medial rotation,
horizontal adduction across midline,
and depression of the shoulder girdle movements to be discouraged.
•Need to encourage usage of
the extremity in all bilateral and
ADL activities
