Isometric Overhead Press

Description

The patient stands facing the wall, arm extended at 130° abduction and hand resting on the Swiss ball. The patient is asked to press their hand into the Swiss ball for 5 seconds while keeping the arm extended. After 5 seconds, the patient can release the pressure on the Swiss ball and then repeat for another 5 seconds. The exercise is repeated 10 to 12 times in 3 sets with 30 seconds of rest between sets. If the patient feels increased pain, the angle of contraction will be adjusted so that slight pain occurs (maximum, 5 on VAS) and then decreases immediately after the exercise.
