- During supervised rehabilitation, devices such as the overhead pulleys or finger ladder can also be used to improve overhead range of motion.

Strengthening Exercises - Strengthening can be performed with light dumbbells or an elastic band. The elastic band provides portability and convenience, but is limited to only 5-6 resistance levels. Dumbbells offer a wider variety of resistance levels, but are not easily portable and a wide range of weights will be needed to challenge the shoulder appropriately through all of its various motions.
- The important factor is not which mode of exercises one chooses, but that the exercises are done properly and consistently. It should be obvious by now, the importance of a strong rotator cuff and these muscles are not well addressed during a typical circuit-training regimen.

- Finally, the rotator cuff can only function appropriately if these muscles have a firm base to pull from- once again highlighting the importance of the scapular muscles to stabilize the shoulder blade.

- As range of motion and strength are returning, it is important to address any remaining functional deficits and to begin to focus the rehabilitation on tasks to which the individual would like to return. If athletic participation is desired, devices such as the body blade or Plyoballs will be helpful for enhancing neuromuscular control and dynamic, explosive strength about the shoulder.
